Our backroom staff - or lack of them?

All fair points, but how many clubs actually have "dedicated" coaches for specific areas?....does Steve Bould only do the defence at Arsenal?...doesn't reflect that well on him if he does tbh. What in effect you're saying here is Pardew isn't good enough in certain aspects of his work, and that's fair comment too. But then we'll go out and get good results at the likes of Anzhi and Metalist largely because of his tactics. He is overall ok, about as good as we'll get for the money. Complaints on a postcard to Mr. M Ashley of Hertfordshire.

I'd have thought it was fairly common place? It makes sense to have specialists?

You know what, why aren't YOU in the backroom staff?

 

Why don't you email Llambias with your CV?

 

Worked in Advertising which is why he's full of shit.

 

Is a taxi driver which is why he's full of shit.

Well theres probably delegation, and obviously goalkeepers get specialist training and always have done. Wenger certainly used to take all sessions at Arsenal, don't know if that's the case now.The likes of Mourinho, Rogers and AVB are "tracksuit" coaches as well, its how they got ahead in the game in the first place having not amounted to much as players. Theyre unlikely to delegate much, in fact Wenger has been criticised for it and that's why I mentioned Bould. Ferguson has delegated for a long time, but I doubt RVP could learn much from Mike Phelan tbh. Don't know about Laudrup,I Martinez strikes me as in the "tracksuit" mould, I know Les Ferdinand works with the strikers at Spurs, is that the sort of thing you'd be looking for?

Yup, this kind of thing. I just think that it's an area of Pardew's game that is lacking that can be easily rectified

Clark had Andy Cole working at Huddersfield.

 

People are giving Pardew stick for the corners - despite a few creative efforts this season - we didn't score but they were original. For me it should be down to the players & possibly a striking coach to see how we approach them. We also have to face that we don't have great headers of the ball.

 

We know Taylor can get one every now and then but he doesn't finish them brilliantly. Cisse is best scoring headers from open play as he doesn't challenge brilliantly at corners.

We certainly need a good fitness coach. Half the team look knackered, half way through the second half.

That certainly seems something that needs looking at, likewise medical wise too as the amount of muscle injuries we have picked up this season have been as disastrous as when Souness was manager.

Surely it's got a lot to do with a tiny squad playing in four competitions?

Four competitions is a bit much when you consider our performances in domestic cup competitions.

Yeah it's a difficult one - we've had bad luck with it and their certainly needs to be an inquest but sometimes bad luck is bad luck and you've got to take it on the chin - or back your manager.
