The College Dropout Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 He's been forced into playing some younger players, play Sissoko through the middle which has proved massive, we've come up against teams performing below par and we've taken our chances. Had Rivière been playing we'd still be bottom 3. We played very well against City and Lpool were awful, scoring first against Leicester andWest Brom turned those games. Spurs should have been home and hosed by half time. Having said that I think we can only expect to get better and Pardew has to take some credit. If however, we have the familiar drop off in performances it should only high light his short comings. In that scenario surely he'd have to go. That is the league in a nutshell isn't it? Leciester aside, all 3 will either stay up fairly comfortably or challenge/finish in European spots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelphish Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Thought he got the team selection and shape spot-on. Cabella was a non-event and Ayoze apart from the goal struggled to get involved but it was the right approach. Wouldn't give him too much credit with our injury list. Could've easily have started Gouff. True. But if the entire squad was fit i've no doubt the team selection would be completely different, and for the worse.

AlanSkÃrare Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Still typical Pardew momentum this, not sustainable. The younger players look good though, he'll do well to ruin this crop as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallsendmag Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Being bailed out by the players and poor opposition. The two goals aside today, we were very poor I thought. Just as well WBA were even poorer. Constant long balls to Ameobi and Perez? Colo and Dummet getting too tight to their forwards? Constant sideways and backwards passing from our midfield? A Pardew wet dream of a performance and a result. We certainly weren't "very poor" today like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 We've seen before we can do well under him when confident - when we came 5th, part of last season - he can ride that wave, maybe he's good at harnessing that, but he's also shown that when that goes we'll have to wait a long time to get it back and things equally spiral down.

A Pardew wet dream of a performance and a result. Not sure that counts as "being bailed out", the team played like he wanted to and he got the result. Though of course I agree, it looks awful. You're right the team played exactly how he wants it to and has done for a few games now, but we all know it relies on individualism, huge dollops of fortune, misfiring opposition and uber team spirit. Its not sustainable. And its god awful to watch. I enjoyed Colo's goal and welcome the win despite feeling no real degree of delight with it, but that style of football is like sticking needles into your own eyeballs or something. So does every team man. I thought we were excellent today and wonder what the hell people want? We've won 5 games in a row, are unbeaten in 6 and in those 5 games we've won we've only conceded 1 goal. Fair play to him, he was rock bottom a couple of weeks ago and now has us winning games and not conceding. Just enjoy it man ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Got to give him credit today, but as for doing an about turn, I'm not going to do that. 18months/2years of mostly shite and turgid football can't be written off on the back of 5 wins. He's got much, much more to do. Of course, it would be just like NUFC and Pardew to win the League Cup this season. Such is life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 The nightmare never ends. Arrrrgghh. We won. It's the 5th time in a row we've done that. Pardew isn't going anywhere so the best thing to do is to forget him, support the players and enjoy watching a winning team. If you can't do that it may be time to look for another hobby as following NUFC clearly isn't doing it for you. I don't like Pardew either and never will (look at my avatar) but all this wanting us to lose and not celebrating when we score or win is just plain silly.

TK-421 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Seem to be loads on Tw*tter now seem to think he deserves credit now for this run. Not me, I still credit the players. If anything, the better the team does, and more we threaten to win a cup or qualify for 'that Europe' again, the more likely Ashley is to send him to Glasgow. Probably. Hopefully.

Wullie Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 This 'support the team' crack is absolute nonsense. The only way we stay up is if Pardew goes. If we win, he doesn't get sacked. The only objective any fan should have when entering the ground should be to destroy him, not cheer on the team to a potential victory that would only delay the inevitable. This 100%. Anyone softening or feeling sorry for King Pardew needs to remember the damage he's doing to the club. Of course he could resign but his ego and greed won't allow that.

That's up to you. No one is slagging the team. People want the best for NUFC. You don't get to dictate to people what being a supporter is. So what about those who grief the players when they lose the ball? They "supporting" the team are they? Those who grief the players who lose the ball are doing so out of frustration not because they want the team they claim to support to lose the match. Surely even you can see the difference there. The manager is going nowhere so what's the point in people still wanting us to lose? Now once again look up the definition of "supporter" in the dictionary.
