TRon Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 There were some good signs today and Pardew as a manager did well incident aside. He just stayed out of the way and let the players do their stuff. From him I suppose that's a massive plus. You don't do yourself any favours with stuff like this. So every defeat is Pardew's fault and every win is him "getting out of the way"? It's fairly clear to be honest. He didn't pull everybody back behind the ball when we took the lead for once and we won comfortably. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 As previously it just makes you wonder why the performances are so staggeringly inconsistent. I know the players themselves are inconsistent and so is the opposition but the workrate, pressing, passing and movement today was lightyears ahead of some of the shite we've served up in recent weeks. We attacked them at pretty much every opportunity and got the rewards. The squad clearly isn't good enough but there's enough quality there to deal with most teams in this league. It can only be a mentality/tactics thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I wonder if all the knackers whining about how we're not going to win another game all season will fuck off for a couple of days now? I wish the knackers who post stuff like this would knack off as well. Preferably for longer than a couple of days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats him setting up a team up to counter attack (very well in this instance) and persevering with the tactic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Pleased we did so well, shame we had to have that incident to detract from it. Was sure the Villa result would boost us, but also well done to Pardew for his approach today. Except his approach to that dude's head obviously.

Aye already seen that on the pitch has been forgotten on Sky and we just know MOTD will skip through the goals and spend 10 minutes discussing it too.

Wullie Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Didn't think a midfield shorn of Cabaye would be able to play like they did today, very good from Anita and Tiote although Hull were abject. Bagpuss playing that hopeless son of his. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Crooks Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Great result but it's a similar thing to runs that have happened before. I haven't much faith that he'll stick with that system because I don't believe AP's fully in control or has full understanding of what he's doing. I would genuinely love him to prove me wrong and show the consistency that would make him a capable manager but he's just a likely to play 2nd half fearball the next game as he is to show attacking intent and a storming mentality. It's far too chancey. That's before you even consider his conduct and sycophantic tendencies to the regime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/26300992 Newcastle had gone four games and four goals without a win before last week's 1-0 victory over Aston Villa, but this second consecutive success was overshadowed by the actions of their manager. 4 goals without a win? WTF does that mean? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I've never been so confused by a team. Fucking hell man. I don't have a clue how good Pardew or the team is. Don't care about him headbutting if we win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can only be a mentality/tactics thing. Personally I'd say the Cabaye sale completely derailed us as a team, the entire side and tactics were built with him as the key man with no natural replacement so losing him there was obviously going to be a fall in form and performance which was exacerbated by tiote and remy being out for periods too. This affected confidence as well so the win last week was huge, failure to score the goal despite some ridiculous misses and god only knows what it would have done to the team. Seems now that the correct balance in the team has been found (at least vs meh opposition) and if we can repeat this performance there could be a strong end to the season with few games you'd expect us to struggle in (in theory) left. Of coarse I may just be ridiculously over optimistic as usual Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can fuck as well Completely bossed the game, took control of it and kicked on. Credit to Krul, superb double save then we scored. Game changing moment but he also let Hull back in it. Thankfully our class still took it's toll and we never dropped our heads. Anita is just superb btw. If you think otherwise, you're also a prick.
