Oh my word, somebody still trotting out the 'when we came 5th' line. Wake the f*** up

 

I can't believe that either.  The thing I can never believe about this, is that while everyone would admit Pardew had a good season that season, however he did it, it's getting to be a fair few years ago now.  He can have been doing okay back then, but still be doing terribly now, which he is and some people aren't grasping that.  Lots of managers have done an okay or good job for a while and then got it badly wrong later.  To anyone still saying "But he came 5th" I would say that his tactics worked because he had Demba Ba to play his archaic long balls to and an in form younger Collocini at the back to help keep it tight.  The team is worse now, but still more than capable to 10th-8th with decent football if Pardew had any adaptability at all.  That's the bare minimum of how I expect him to be doing considering we don't do anything in cups.  I don't expect fifth, but I don't expect bottom of the league either.  I don't expect to get beat 3-0 or 4-0 every other week.  I don't expect us to concede twice as many goals as we score.  I don't expect us to continue to play long ball when we sub on a small fast striker instead of a big man.  I don't expect us to keep taking the same corner that took 102 games to generate a goal.  I also don't expect our defenders to be so lackluster they switch off and pass the opposition through on goal in the first minute, like what happened at the weekend.  Those are all the things I don't expect.  I do expect a cohesive unit, I do expect an organisation and focus that makes the players look interested in the game they're playing.  I expect intensity. I expect being able to hit the guy in your own shirt from more than five yards away, not only in your own half, but in the final third as well.  I expect skillful players to get a chance to do what they do well and the right players to be played in the right positions.  I expect wingers on the wing instead of fast strikers and central midfielders.  That's pretty much what  I do and don't expect out of Pardew.  In every single one of these areas Pardew is failing my expectations.

 

So who's to blame that the players are worse than when we finished 5th ?

 

They're not. Alan Pardew said so.

 

He's no Gerald Ratner is he LOL

so what do you think he should say ? He's not happy.with the new players someone else is choosing for him ? Or he's not happy with his best players being sold and not seeing the money ? How is he blaming the fans ? Do you seriously think he is going to blame the players or his boss for the players he's having to try and give us a good team with ?

 

I think he should say "I'm s***, I resign."  What do you think he should say?

 

I think you should answer what I'm asking you. And don't you think.his boss should not be sitting back letting him take the blame ?

Hey northshieldsmag, what phone are you using, as you seem to be putting full stops instead of spaces, and I have the same problem with mine?

 

Other then that, you're wrong in everything you are saying. :)

northshieldsmag, what do you think of Vurnon Anita?

 

When will YOU answer my simple question ?

 

He's rubbish and like most players at the club now, not good enough. Which isn't themanagers fault. In a few years time the numpties will still be blaming the next manager though . Don't say you weren't told.
