nemtizz Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Quote There’s a story about Alan Pardew that you’ll probably know, but it’s absolutely worth recounting here if you aren’t aware of it. And, indeed, if you are. The tale comes from Pardew’s West Ham days, told by former club photographer Steve Bacon, who claimed that one day the coaching staff were sitting down for dinner. When their food arrived, the story goes that Pardew took one look at fitness coach Tony Strudwick’s dinner, decided that looked better than his choice, so just took it. In response protests from everyone present, Pardew simply responded: “When you’re the king, you can do anything.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wickham’s Cisse's struggles up front are hardly assisted by the questionable tactic of playing the ball long to him, thus bypassing the wingers, Palace’s greatest hope of creativity. It leads to those wingers dropping deep to demand the ball, thus leaving said lone striker isolated and helpless. Wilfried Zaha Hatem Ben Arfa typically has to beat two or three opponents before reaching the penalty area. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching him fail just feels better, somehow Crystal Palace went into the FA Cup final as the underdogs, the neutral's favourite - but after that excruciating touchline dance, even the staunchest ABU must have been cheering for the opposition.

TRon Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 The Benteke signing is quite a smart one for his favoured formation of nine defenders humping it long towards a big man and another striker parked out on the wing. He's not going to score many goals but he'll probably contribute enough to avoid relegation. Maybe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevo Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 With any luck he will pull his hammy and screw them over so they're on the relegation zone and under severe pressure before he's back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

U2 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Benteke is shit in the build-up play. Pardew likes to play to his strikers and then out to the wing. That wont suit Benteke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's big though, so combined with Townsend on set pieces they might just sneak enough goals between them to stay up. Classic Pardew really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leek Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 If theres something Pardew relies on its a striker and hes always had someone to save his skin. Tevez at West Ham, Bent at Charlton, Lambert at Southampton, Ba, Cisse and Remy here and got a feeling Benteke will be decent at Palace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
