  1. Hats off to Pardew for working on the possession and passing. Its been clear recently that they have been working hard on that in training. It is still baffling as to why we were so bad at keeping the ball for the majority of this season but happy to see us looking like a team again.
  2. Why would you prefer an out of form player who doesn't even look close to being dangerous to one that has looked dangerous the last few times he has come on?
  3. I'm wondering if Pards is considering risking bring back Ben Arfa for this one. We need some quality in midfield. Well, we need some quality full stop.....
  4. So why is he 'knackered' then if he isn't yet 30 versus anyone else in the team? Based on Obertan's last few performances, I think he deserves a chance over Jonas. I actually like Jonas but he isn't our strongest player in that position anymore. I know the jury is still out on Obertan and I still need convincing, but I need more convincing on Jonas right now.
  5. Probably about time we started Obertan ahead of Jonas now. He creates more chances and would also score a few more then Jonas. He also doesn't fall on his arse every time he gets challenged.
  6. I just want to see hm settle down down a bit. He is definitely fired up and pissed off. Maybe his big summer supposed move riled him. We know what he can do and he need to get him back to that. Last night, his passing and movement were absolute gash. Its not the normal Tiote and I hope Pardew can fix this within his game. So as in my changed opinion about Pardew, give the lad a chance to rediscover his form. We need Cabaye back next to him too.
  7. Great reply mate. You make some good points.
  8. Fair point. This is why I'm worried about losing our best players anyway. We know Colo is committed to us, I don't know about Cabaye, Ben Arfa and Ba....
  9. We almost avoided calling each other names and being abusive. Had to happen eventually. Can't we ever have a debate without that crap? it doesn't matter who is right or wrong. Some will listen and learn something and I'm hoping I'll change my opinion on Pardew as its frustrating. I want stability but the consistent lack of tactics concern the hell out of me.
  10. Ok, we seem to be avoiding the question about Pardew. I know about all of the above and 100% agree on that but it's not the question. I'm not asking again so we agree to disagree. It's been fun...
  11. I think LBT pretty much answered that. So, yes please!
  12. But we are hearing fuck all from you as to why he is the man for the job! It goes both ways dude. If he is the best out there for us at this moment in time then great! We are truly lucky to have him.
  13. Ok, I must be missing something that I am sure will be explained better. From what I read into that, it's not so ridiculous to suggest sacking him and I didn't see any argument as to why he is the right man for the job.
  14. It wasn't exactly an outrageous statement. If you think he is the man for the job then tell me why...(not being confrontational asking that, genuinely interested in your opinion)
  15. One cracking goal, he has hardly set the world alight. I fucking hope he proves me wrong. I'd love nothing more.
  16. Agreed the board are also to blame but what happens on the pitch and the tactics implemented are Pardew's fault. I believe the excuses are lame. On the other note, the Europa obviously doesn't give us an extra 10m granted but we wasted a huge chunk on one pretty inept player with a girls name. I haven't got the answers which is why I don't work in football but keen to read others opinions.
  17. So how many more times do we need to hear/read Pardew saying 'The Europa league is tiring the players' and 'we have huge injury problems'? On the first one, the likes of Man U, Chelsea and Arsenal have been doing it for years in a tougher more demanding tournament in the Champions League and yet they consistently perform in the league. Why? Because they build on the team to compensate and strengthen their positions in both which brings me onto the second point. How can Pardew complain about injuries when we didn't build on the squad in the summer? Some will say that wasn't Pardew's fault but I believe he is partiality to blame. When will Pardew finally blame himself and stop making pathetic excuses? We will sack Pardew when we are fighting to stay in the league with 6 games to go and bring Shearer in to save the day... Ok, the last sentence is delusional chemo talk but seriously, am I alone in wanting a better more experienced manager in who can sort out this mess?
  18. We may have been a little better tonight but if you hadn't seen us play the last few games, then you would say it was a crap performance. Still very cumbersome and barely creative. We will lose our best players at this rate as they will want out. Who can blame them? Injuries or no injuries, 4 losses in a row plus the performances is unacceptable and Pardew as the manager has to be held responsible. His time is up in my book. We need to improve now and he has not got the ability.
  19. Unless Pardew is confusing the Champions League with the Championship, then we are truly on course for that
