NEEJ Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Tbh, the second Armstrong took that shot on, I shouted 'NO!' He was never going to beat De Gea from the corner of the penalty area with two or three defenders in the way. It was a good situation for us and you have to take full advantage of those positions when they arise in a game like that. And of course losing the ball like that with a lot of players committed upfield is always going to be dangerous. Having said that, I don't think Pardew should have mentioned it at all. A 17 year old is still bound to be on a learning curve with decision-making, and we could defended the situation better anyway. You shouted "No", I then shouted what a c***.

Ste Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Don't shoot at goal, young striker! He'll soon learn, what's he like? Armstrong should have looked for the pass, we're very much a tiki taka footballing team that doesn't rely on luck. No sir, not us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sempuki Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 His comments praising Gouffran today are bewildering. Does he watch the same game as the rest of us? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Cronky's either a disgrace for standing up for Pardew or for being a massive WUM when our club is being destroyed. I don't know what's going on with Cronky RE his views, but he's a good bloke, a long time supporter and knows his stuff which is all the more shocking really. I fear he's been duped into believing Pardew is as good as it gets under Ashley and to be honest, it probably is and therefore reasonable for one to try and rationalise things. Not for me though, the man is a cunt and a truly awful manager, easily the worst we've had since I've been supporting, even worse thank JK and Souness.

I doubt he's ecstatic like, I just think he's seriously dumbed down, there are a lot of these types that exist which is the biggest success of Ashley and Co sadly!

Interpolic Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Well while he's constantly contradicting people who can see what's actually going on I don't respect his opinion at all. His opinion is bollocks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 What gets me is that a lot of fans like Cronky were so against FS and his appointments yet sit by idily while Ashley and co ruin us, often 'supporting' what is going on. This is another thing, I think the story about Ashley saving us financially from Fat Fred's ruin has also played a huge part with many not only believing the narrative but worried sick about another alternative without Ashley and his money 'saving' us! The whole support base is fucked up like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 If you lot care to read the post again, I did say that Pardew was wrong to single Armstrong out. That's on two levels - on him being a young player finding his feet at first team level, and on the part that other players played in conceding the goal. Pardew talks too much, and not always wisely. But on a different level, I can understand Pardew's frustration, because it was a poor decision in a promising situation. And to have a chance, we needed to keep in the game for much longer.

Tiresias Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Our defense was to blame for all the goals tonight, nothing to do with players actually trying to shoot. May have been ill advised but unfortunately Pardew will currently be drilling into the team that defensive solidity comes from never running up the pitch, never attacking and certainly from never trying to get the ball into the goal.

Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Cronky is right, he shouldn't have taken the shot on. There were better options available but he's just a boy so it's not a great problem. Pardew is a fucking shit for mentioning it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
