aimaad22 4222 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 (edited) Pardew's tactics have been horrendous. Whether we stay up or not, he should go at the end of the season and this is not a knee-jerk reaction. I've always backed him Ive been too, the last few games have had me scratching my head though. Some of the tactics have been well and truly horrendous. Not to mention the complete lack of balls. Still, just for the sake of stability and lack of realistic other options, I'd give him another year. Unless of course we could somehow get someone better in. Cant see Ashley really looking for that though. Edited April 20, 2013 by aimaad22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobH 0 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Our subs today man... Unfit Ben Arfa, Shola and Gosling. Striking fear into the hearts of the opposition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyff 0 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 What an absolutely gutless second half performance. What on earth does Pardew say to them at half time!? Ben Arfa came on far too late as well - by that time we were pretty much back to our usual hoof ball and not at all playing to his strengths. Honestly, I can't wait for this season to be over now..

jonasjuice 0 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Decent point, always dissapointing after your the team to go ahead but I'm reasonably satisfied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndianMag 0 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 So it is a knee-jerk Heh! I meant I backed him till very recently. His tactics/comments in the last month or so have got me thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acrossthepond 878 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Utterly dire. If we took our chances first half, we'd have killed this game off before the inevitable fightback. We were beaten all ends up in the second half - I don't think Ben Arfa touched the ball more than once and neither did Shola, and we did not threaten at all. We haven't played 2 good halves of football all season. Maybe once against Benfica, depending on how you define "good." This game has been emblematic of our season - we have the players to do well, but we lack the fight and the commitment to keep going when the going gets tough, and part of that has got to come down to the manager.

JonTheMag 4 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 If we're still in the bottom 8 at Christmas I'd sack him. But give him until then, last season earned him that chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asprilla 96 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 West Ham doing us a favour. Decent-ish point...all adds to the total and I think we'll scrape survival this year. BUT WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK HAS HAPPENED TO US!!!?!?!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 22150 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 At least three points still needed from four games. Probably going to be three draws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loonyTOON 10 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Ameobi, Williamson, Jonas, and Gosling all need punting in the summer. I want to see a massive overhaul of personnel and start to really build a team around the players who matter ie. Cabaye, Sissoko, Ben Arfa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QPR is the only game I think we have any chance of winning - I know HF keeps saying Liverpool are shit away but history makes me think they'll hammer us.

I find this criticism of Pardews team talks the most bone headed criticism that can be leveled at him. He doesn't tell them to sit back. He doesn't say "Right lads go out and be nervy"...it's the players that do that. Pardew's not made a defensive change in weeks either. He brings on Shola or Ben Arfa or Campbell and that, but still gets this abuse for apparently going defensive. ...his choices are shit off the bench.

Christmas Tree 4827 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 No it means the home team are going to come out with a rant in their ear and redouble thir efforts.....like we did against the Mackems on Sunday...the good goal we pulled back was wrongfully ruled out though. The lady does protest too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noelie 103 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 First half it looked like we could bag the 3 points, Cisse should have made it 2 - 0. Second half it looked like we would come away with no points, I'm happy with the one point. I'm back to criticising Pardieu's substitutions. He should have replaced Gouffran with BenArfa not Amoeba. 13 minutes is not enough time for BenArfa to make his presence known. Pathetic 2nd half and I felt sure we were going to lose it. Cisse was a bit of a liability. Sissoko is good but he keeps hoofing the ball to nobody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have preferred Campbell? Williamson? Pardew's inability as a conjurer is why he should be sacked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
