Just reading Pardew is willing to listen to the fans. Got to say if he can't see where we are going wrong he shouldn't be In charge of a Sunday team never mind NUFC.

Sick of people going on about these new signings! We are 16th in the leauge wake the **** up! Debuchy hasn't looked the player he was in the euros, sissoko has had one good game, yanga mbwia has been okay, gouffran has been okay, haidara has been the only excellent player

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Your talking utter rubbish. The new signings have done well. If it hadn't been for these new signings we were heading for relegation. It takes time for new players to settle in especially I to the PL.

Agree0 Disagree0

You're right but its not just because they're out of form, its pardews poor managerial skills, playing players out of position not giving players the right jobs I. e he's not playing tiote as an anchor man which he was immense at last season, cabaye as a DM, sissoko as a CAM its just not right.
We need to play 433 against Liverpool with sissoko, cabaye and tiote as the 3 central midfielders.

Agree0 Disagree0

Sick of people talking sh*te about the signings. Had we had them for the whole season, and less injuries, we wouldn't be in the state we are now. Having said that there are some other big problems, but don't scapegoat the new lads. Massive cop out.

Agree0 Disagree0

Debuchy was easily man of the match against West Brom.

Did you not notice that our results dropped off when Simpson was playing while Debuchy was out?

Mbiwa has been titanic, he is now the best centreback at the club.

Agree0 Disagree0

Stop running down the newbies, Haidara has been a breath of fresh air, Sissoko is being played out of position and Debbie is doing fine, Goofy looks class as well. Mbiwa was in the Mirrors team of the weekend so must of gotten something right.

L Reading
W villa
W Chelsea
L Tottenham
W southampton
L Swansea
W stoke
L wigan
L Man city
W Fulham
L Sunderland
D west brom
17pts out of possible 45 win percentage: 33%

4-3-3 is the best formation for us. not just because of those stats but because we just look more solid with it. tiote did a fantastic job as an anchor man and we were devastating on the wings as we tore liverpool apart and we probably would of won that game. We were unlucky in all those games in a 433, I read that in those games we hardly played hoofball at all and look what happened. marveaux was excellent against wigan and man u in that little free role in the central midfield he had some dazzling play.

I just think pardew just needs to have a little look at these stats and not worry too much about what the opposition are going to do and work out what we're going to do. And I think we should play the 4-3-3 method as we do look like a top 6 team when we play it, but with 4231 we look a bit mediocre. I think the 433 will suit sissoko better as he is a box to box midfielder and especially tiote as the anchor man.

There are a lot of dynamics to consider though.

Who was injured in those games.

Which games were home or away.

Which games had the new signings.

Come thursday Pardew will be buttering us up for a defeat

Believable0 Unbelievable0

We will beat Liverpool because we have quality all over the pitch, and a team full of internationals, and we will win away next week. Mark M.

Agree0 Disagree0

We had a team full of Internationals at west brom, against Scumderland, Wigan and Readin to name but a few but we still got beat ( exception west brom). If you have a team full of international players you should have a international manager (international class) and pardew is not. For sure ha

ATTENTION OF MIKE ASHLEY


Laurent Robert Blanc (French pronunciation: ​[loʁɑ̃ blɑ̃]; born 19 November 1965) is a French football manager and former player. He is the former head coach of the French national team, having replaced Raymond Domenech in the wake of the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. [1] He was also previously the manager of Bordeaux.

Blanc played professional football for numerous clubs, including Montpellier, Napoli, Barcelona, Marseille, Internazionale and Manchester United, often operating in the sweeper position. He is also a former French international, playing in several international tournaments, which include the 1998 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2000, both of which France won. On 28 June 1998, Blanc scored the first golden goal in World Cup history against Paraguay. Blanc has the nickname Le Pr�sident, which was given to him following his stint at Marseille in tribute to his leadership skills.


The last bit does it for me "Blanc has the nickname Le Pr�sident, which was given to him following his stint at Marseille in tribute to his leadership skills. "

LAURENT BLANC COME TO NEWCASTLE UNITED AND BECOME ONE OF OUR GREATEST EVER MANAGERS.

Blanc is my main choice in the summer, because he can make a connection with the club with our french revolution. We can actually be excited about a managerial appointment. We could finally see attractive, exciting, flowing football to get us off our seats. Laurent Blanc can become a legend here. God what I would give for blanc to replace pardew. to lead bordeaux to the title is amazing. He's only 47, 48 so he's got a lot of years left in him. please ashley just sack pardew in the summer and get in blanc it would be a dream come true.

Agree0 Disagree0

Unfortunately Pardew is here until his contract expires or Ashley sells up, Pardew left Charlton in a relegation battle in the championship then was sacked by Southampton in league one and then suddenly gets a job in the premiership managing Newcastle United and to top it all off an eight year contract, I highly doubt Pardew got the job based on his managerial cv so why did he get it?

What the hell is Pardew going on about!!! Saying that we needed to put a performance in after the sunderland game then saying that we definately did that. PARDEW! We lost our biggest game of the year at home 3-0 and you think a 1-1 draw with WEST BROM makes everything tickety boo! Dream on man! I used to be a fan of Pardew but I've seen a side to him I don't like in the last 3 weeks and now I just can't stand him. Its everyone elses fault but his own and gutierrez's lol. Pardew, your a manager, if some1 isn't pulling their weight i. e. tiote and guti, DROP THEM!

we need to get at least 4 - 5 players in for next season.

Firstly, we need to play our players in their positions ie Sissoko is a defensive MF player - he should be playing there not attacking MF role.

Cabaye should be playing next to him and HBA on the right wing and an actual left winger - jonas dare I say it should be on the left. We could have a Cisse up front with another striker, I would not mind Ricky Lambert, but he is probably too old for us, but someone who can drop into MF and help out if needed.

We could also try pushing Santon onto the right wing and have HBA on the left, I personally think this would be a excellent move for the lad as he has shown great promise there albeit in the part of the match we lost, but he played on the wing.

Another centre half would be good too

As you can see I have not really suggested anyone apart from Lambert but here is a list of current premier league players I think we could realistically sign

Lambert
Llana
Remy
Ramírez (gaston)
Micha Richards
Olsson (wba – maybe too old?)
Samba
Scott Sinclair

Oh, and I rekon we will get Carroll back.


TA
Lambert
Llana
Remey

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I know the perfect player that would play up with cisse and could drop into midfield when needed. Kevin Nolan! Gets about 10 goals a season if he played with our players. Has passion, commitment and most of all. Plays for the badge

Agree0 Disagree0

I'd like to see us play 4 -1 -3-2

Krull
Debuchy Taylor Mbiwa Haidara

Santon

Sissoko Cabaye HBA

Gouffran Cisse

I'd like to see us sign Jermaine Lens to put pressure on HBA and Remy to put pressure on Cisse and Gouffran. I'd also keep Obertan but use him as a striker.

Agree0 Disagree0

We actually could manage with no players being signed. The only action needed is to get rid of Pardew and appoint a good manager. With the squad we have we should be in position 6th to 8th. It is pointless to sign more good players as Pardew has shown he does not know what to do them.

I personally think we should bite the bullet this summer no matter what happens in the last 4 games (Unless we win 3 of them and lose 1 or we get relegated) and we should immediately lineup blanc as a replacement for pardew before he becomes unavailable.
People who are saying tiote is rubbish, cisse's rubbish are talking Sh*t. Cisse is a quality players as is tiote who had rooney in his back pocket last season, but the amount of players that aren't performing to their standards this season is horrific (I. e cisse, tiote, cabaye, m'biwa even, santon, sissoko in the last few games) Do you know why? its because most of them are being played out of position, aren't being managed properly. Pardew cannot get the best out of average players or even the frenchies, because they're all used to a short passing, flowing style of football, and pardew just gets us to play hoofball hence why we are 1st in the hoofball table. If I was offered Laurent Blanc to replace pardew I would bite your arm off (suarez). Laurent Blanc got boardeaux who were an average team to win the ligue 1 title. Blanc can also motivate a dressing room, get the best out of every player, can provide stylish attacking football and show no fear. One main reason why I would like him is because he's french, he will be able to connect with the club because of our french revolution. And it will also be the first time in a while where we were actually excited about the new manager.

Pardew is an average manager. He plays hoofball, got all the teams he's managed relegated so far, cannot motivate a dressing room, and he shows fear as he always sets up our team to defend a 1-0 lead.

Blanc come to newcastle, complete the french revolution and be the final piece to our jigsaw.

That's a tad unfair mate. Most Pool fans are a level headed lot and to their credit are condeming Suarez for the shame he brings on himself and the club.
Not a red by the way. HWTL

i honestly think pardew doing his best but fact is this club is to big a challenge for him. you need a manager to motivate the players and he obviously can't do it. mike ashley I feel will get i'd of the time wasters in the squad and replace with quality. I didn't like him at first but I think he's waking up to his mistakes and guna make up for it. I dnt know what's happened to sissiko the last few games very dissapointing hope he picks up. i'm a big fan of cisse he always put himself around he's isolated at the minute up front and u can tell with his huffs and lack of finishing we need a clinical striker next season if we had took half the chances we have had this season in front of goal we wudnt be any where near danger. ho would everyone like to see come in??

Believable0 Unbelievable0

It's not sissoko! It's pardews bad management that's making sissoko be out of form, he's not a CAM. Cabaye is too deep. Tiote gets too forward. There is a ton of players that are underperforming because of pardews bad management.

22 Apr 2013 11:17:07
Whether we like it or not, we need to stick behind pardew, although I have been criticising him about his no plan B, hoofball tactics, and wanted blanc to come in in the summer but we need to still get behind the team. As long as pardew makes the right decisions and pick the players in their right positions we can play good football. Cabaye is not a DM, him and sissoko need to swap around.
This needs to be the lineup against liverpool and its a must win game.
