Ally 0 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Not saying they are lucky, more so that we have only just won 3 games at home this season (WBA, Chelsea & Stoke). Obviously every team can throw out similar things but the point is we have not been convincing all season and home wins have papered over some mediocre performances, Chelsea excepted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DubiousBobcat 0 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Bloody hell CT, why post a picture like that just before playing a superb team such as Benfica who are unbeaten in their league all season?

Toonpack 9108 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Love people bringing up 'last minute goals' as if they are more lucky than first minute ones. Bizarre. Â They are, if there's a slap of the ball with a hand involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj 17 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Interesting to see what our pressing game is going to be like tonight seeing as Pardew has been specifically talking about it. Hopefully he has learned something from Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Doubt we'll be pressing in the Europa away from home. Think that's Pardew trying to mislead them.....also goading them with the 8th place comments....inviting them to press and we'll be using the same old tactics of trying to hit them on the break.

LooneyToony 41 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 (edited) Whatever you think of his managerial abilities or lack thereof, which I'm in the not so great camp, I just think he's an idiot plain and simple. He thinks he is great at mind games and most times I wish he would just keep his mouth shut. He is terrible at it. Other clubs don't need further incentive to play well against us, but Pardew seems to think otherwise. Just read all the nonsense he said prior to the Benfica game for proof.

Â Seems to me we played really well in the first half and it was really only, a few scratches of paint, a stupid 5 minutes and an injury cost us the game. I don't think Benfica players showed any great desire to prove Pardew wrong or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toonotl 2916 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I think it's always worth trying to back the Portuguese into a corner hoping they'll make sail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 13760 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Thought Pardew continued his streak of getting the European set-up pretty much right IMO.

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Who is in the Pardew Out camp now? Â I'm still in two minds, leaning towards out as things stand but aware of what we did last season and the troubles we've had this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Now that some results have gone against us. Â Right, because I was perfectly content before today's round of fixtures. Maybe I was just wasn't vocal enough beforehand. Mock me all you want but we're in the midst of a relegation battle and I don't understand why you're belittling me for not being happy with how things are?

Tooj 17 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I'm very worried tomorrow as Martin Jol has tactically outclassed Pardew a couple of times recently. Last season when he changed a couple of things to exploit our vulnerable high life away at Craven Cottage and down there this season too when he basically told the Fulham players to take a rest whenever Simpson had the ball. Â Even though he's just signed a new contract I'd take Martin Jol over Pardew within a heartbeat and I think he'd come here too. The club should be drawing up other plans if they are undecided at the moment whether to dispense with Pardew or not at the end of the season.

Tooj 17 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Also in our current predicament you need positivity from your manager and to tell the players to go out there and get in the faces of the opposition. No doubt tomorrow as per usual will be all about keeping things as tight as possible at our end, make sure you keep your defensive shape, it's all about the percentages etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
