Kanj Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I can imagine Pardew having some kind of aneurysm trying to fit Sissoko and a fit again Siem de Jong in the team. Too much fret! He'll drop Cabella and put Sissoko on the wing, the only thing more certain is death. History says he would, but he'd be fucking mad to do it now esp after everything that has come about with him being SO good in his natural role that many of us who've watched him for ages have been saying.

The College Dropout Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 The criminal thing about the Benfica game was the start. So timid. The way we played they where so comfortably and content with themselves by the time we decided to attack they had all the conviction in the world that they would win. If for just 15 minutes - high pressing try to get an early goal. Set-up a real nervous finish if we could keep it tight. I miss just giving it a proper go. Aye, Benfica were better than us but they could be rattled. The way Benfica reacted to going behind backs this up, they were shanking the ball out for throw ins, needlessly committing fouls and conceding possession, they were shitting themselves for a good 10-15mins after we scored. Aye we had the better of it in the first half on the counter - we'll rarely see a team so set-up to get countered. But we where equally as bad when we conceded. And they didn't get out of second gear in the return leg. Across their two EL finals they played some fantastic stuff and certainly showed a level of quality I haven't seen from a Newcastle side since SBR.

The College Dropout Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Pardew tends to stick when he's winning. It's the first bad loss which will determine long-term shifts in thought. I'm almost certain Siss has replaced Cabaye in Pardew eyes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 A 1 in 4 striker from France. No need to tell fibs. His years playing upfront he was 1 in 2. Pretty sure I read that when he first signed. He previously used to play out wide, but that was at least three years prior to joining us. I think the very best he's ever managed over a full season is about 1 in 3. I don't think for one second he'd do as well as that in the PL. Anyway, who cares? Cisse and Perez are better players and better strikers. Scored a goal every 2.6 games in 2011-2012 season and a goal every 2.2 games in 2012-2013. Its hard to judge him as a striker here when he's never been given a chance up front. Granted he's playing like shit at the moment, but playing out of position for years can do that to you. Not when you factor in the games he played for us that season. Either way, he had 8 goals in France when he signed for us at the end of January. It doesn't bode well. 8 league goals in only 20 games though, which is an excellent record and does bode well IMO. Right now I certainly wouldn't be looking to start him up front (or anywhere else) because he looks shot and we have Perez. Just saying that before he joined us his recent record was 1 in 2 and its pathetic that Pardew never gave him a chance up top for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 8 goals in 20 in a horrible league isn't excellent. Either way I think even Pardew's figured out that Gouffran should be nowhere near. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gino14 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 A thought I've had a few times and dismissed as delusion is that the best way we'll get rid of Pardew is if someone else thinks he's good and comes in for him. It looked impossible a few short weeks ago, but now he's riding high again and the press are saying we owe him an apology, are lucky to have him etc. I don't know who would want him, but I'd laugh my myself half to death if he was ever linked with Tottenham for instance. All those journalists bigging him up, saying Geordies only dislike him for being from London and all that nonsense. The Chickens coming home to roost would be delicious. Having said that, I know it's still a delusion. We're only 'lucky to have him' because we're Newcastle and seen as a club who should accept what we're given. If he was ever linked with a good job, the press would back peddle so fast you'd think you were watching the Backwards episode of Red Dwarf. They'd get all his shambolic records fully on show and go for him in an instant if their precious clubs were at risk of him darkening their doorstep. I'm fairly sure of that.

Toondave Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Not unless he could replicate that for a further 2 or 3 seasons. He's shown he can drag himself to 5th/EL QF before and learn nothing from it edit: on further reflection that implies I'd tolerate him for another 4 seasons. no, he can fuck off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gleebals Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Talking to just about any non newcastle sporting mate and they just don't get the hatred I have towards him.
