Monroe Transfer 0 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 From the Chronny, just so you know its not just me. A mute point however compared to the more important one that is if we can have a spell of dominating games by using both flanks, creating space for Cabaye and getting the strikers anticipating crosses and making runs.....all will be well. Surely you agree? Yet we played our best football last season w/ 433. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4725 Posted November 14, 2012 Author Share Posted November 14, 2012 Yet we played our best football last season w/ 433. Not sure what your point is? Pardew is reluctant to play 433. Im equally happy for 433 or 442 as long as we attack down both flanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene_Clark 12 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 As I couldn't make the match on Sunday and I haven't seen anything of it yet, what did Ferguson play like? Fucking shit; like the bastard offspring of Pat Heard & Archie Gourlay on ketamine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTF 7295 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Did you not watch the game? Can you not comprehend he was sent out with a more defensive wide role, the role that Pardew has reinvented for Jonas. It was pretty clear to me and those around me. Did you not watch the game? I was watching with an assembly of FIFA approved coaches and referees and it was pretty clear to me, to them and to their unborn children that he had a poor game because the many crosses that he did put in (all from wide positions) were rubbish.

David Kelly 1245 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 If rumours are true of Jonas being out for two months then Pardew could find that despite himself, a new winning formation may emerge. We should all be in agreement that there are several teams we need to set ourself up defensively against but the majority we should be going out to attack and win. We have the quality to do it. Its time to seize the moment Alan. I would be happy with any of these over the next few weeks. (Injuries / suspensions allowing). Krul Santon Taylor Coloccini Ferguson Obertan Tiote Cabaye Marveaux HBA Ba Krul Santon Taylor Coloccini Ferguson HBA Tiote Cabaye Marveaux Cisse Ba Krul Santon Taylor Coloccini Ferguson Tiote Cabaye Marveaux HBA Cisse Ba Youd be happy starting Obertan? He's possibly the worst player we've had in the last ten years! And Marveaux has shown no signs he should be starting either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Marveaux has shown no signs he should be starting either. Yet Obertan was a constant in the team that had us on 25 points and in 3rd this time last year. For Marveaux draw comparisons to Ben Arfa this time last year. Bottom line is that if Jonas is out, Obertan, Marveaux or Sammy needs a run.

Every one of your solutions involves Krul Santon Taylor Coloccini Ferguson HBA Tiote Cabaye Ba But the spine of that team have only been able to play together for 24 minutes or something. I think it's a bit harsh you've dismissed Ferguson as a left wing option after 1 poor game mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I may be on my own here but I think it's pretty evident what Pardew has done so far hasn't worked. My solution would be to go with one or two of those, be less cautious and try and get the team playing again. What would you do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a bit harsh you've dismissed Ferguson as a left wing option after 1 poor game mind. Ain't dismissed him at all and think he was one of the better performers on the day. Think he can be equally dangerous from left back which would allow another attacking option ahead of him. Maybe Obertan and they could try and recreate the excellent game he had against Bordeaux. Probably out best left wing display all season) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 71 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 (edited) He's saying what a lot of us have been saying about Hatem. He's wasted to an extent in that right wing role and you can see in games he drifts all over the place to try and get the ball. He should be playing centrally behind the striker and we should have 3 in midfield like 90% of the PL where midfield battles are key. The other headache Bird mentions and we've all noticed this season is the dramatic decline of Guti who's gone from winger to defensive winger, to defensive cover for the left back and now defensive (few runs forward) kinda nowhere midfielder - firefighting nearly all game. I t might be an act of god we're spared him for a few weeks. But will Anita play well there? The jury is still out. Cisse can't be trusted not to miss chances atm so Ba ideally should take the one striker slot and Cisse given the last 15-20min when it is clear Ba is shot in games. Fitness and spark is really lacking this season and with that the pressing has gone out the window. We've started to look a bit like a Hodgson side in that respect - sitting deep and waiting for teams to come onto us. There is so much wrong I could write 5 pages. The mystery being: What has changed? Edited November 14, 2012 by Park Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just not what Pardew went with. I'd like to see HBA behind Ba or Cisse in a 442, probably give Marveaux a run on the left and give Anita a go on the right. They're all going to struggle without a bulldog in the middle who is comfortable on the ball. The fact that poor Perchinho was the next best option on that front, after Tiote, speaks volumes about our lack of depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say we won those games in spite of Obertan rather than due to his input. With regards to Marveaux, what you say about needing someone to play there if Jonas is out is fine but surely, Ferguson or Sammy have shown more than Marveaux so far? And the comparison to Ben Arfa is a nonsense tbf. Ben Arfa showed moments of real quality but looked like he was struggling to adapt to the team. Marveaux has shown nothing at all so far.

Park Life 71 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 I think deep down he is a good man, a man who it is clear has worked hard, a man who understands football, a man who has come up through the ranks. A man who was a glazier (window cleaner and mender) and took the risk of a tricky contract at Palace to have a chance to play football. He took a gamble and it paid off. He is in many ways a man who against all the odds made good. He, it is clear to me has learnt new skills and new methods of enahancing team formats and performance. He through choice has taken on one of the hardest jobs in football and to double that work with two of the trickiest characters to come into the game. He has worked within that budget...Not only the fianancial one, but the one that equates to self-worth. He was one of the lads when at Palace and was reknowned to be one of the ring leaders, perhaps even a future manager, it was a tough gig cause Kenny Sansom used to play left back for Palace and he was one of the best in the country at the time. I don't know. Sometimes you look up and you can go the extra mile. This is it Pards. This is Newcastle United. Give it all you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
