Tom 13895 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 ''A better manager would do better than Pardew'*' is rearing it's ugly head again. Just as somebody attempts a high brow football thread *Which is baffling just after the fat man has appointed Kinnear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Pardew is dreadful though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Fluked his way to 5th but was not unlucky last year? How can a team come 5th with a dreadful manager when Ryan Taylor, Gabriel Obertan, James Perch and Mike Williamson are starting on a regular basis. He's had one good season with us and one bad. To judge him as dreadful is therefore, in my opinion, a bit stupid. Sorry if that offends but 'dreadful' is not an objective appraisal of his time here.

Dr Gloom 19994 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 you could argue he's had one good season with us and the majority of his career has been dreadful mind. he did alright with reading and west ham for a bit. i'm with chez on this. he's not the greatest manager, not the worst. but probably the best we can hope to attract with ashley at the helm. the alternative looks like being kinnear ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 13895 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 He got to the final with West Ham & came with in a whisker of winning it. It's been a long time since we've been close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19994 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Sadly that's true but it still doesn't mean Pardew's any good though. he's average. it's frustrating because he's conservative and his team's don't play attacking, attractive football. but calling for his head is an exercise in futility - fuck knows who we'd end up with at the helm if we was to get the chop.

With this logic we should keep the current players as well as there isn't any guarantee that we are likely to sign better players under Ashley and Kinnear.

The Fish 9103 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Now that he's playing more centrally, we're seeing more from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 27347 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I think his passing has been a bit suspect lately but when it needed a cool head to pick out the right player at the right time he was right on the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think he'll ever be that good of a passer overall, but his running with the ball late on in games when the opposition are tired and there's more space is a huge asset to have.

acrossthepond 707 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 A really good performance from him. I still worry when he shapes up to shoot but in terms of keeping the midfield tick over he did it very well today so credit where credit's due.
