Alan Pardew

Okay, i can see people are getting a little agitated by how things are going.

So i propose that.

You're in his shoes, what would you do?

We have an injury crisis at the moment, morale is low, our play is sloppy and we're currently on a 3 game losing streak.

How would you solve these problems? We have Stoke on Wednesday and it's away. (We all know how tough this is going to be).

Bearing also in mind, you probably have the backing of Mike Ashley in terms of job safety. (Due to the huge contract).


*forgot to mention, we have one final group stage game in the Europa League.
Do we risk players and go for all out win, or do we stay put.

Maybe play Ranger, Xisco or something.

 

I would resign and leave the job open to somebody who knows what he's doing.

 

I would invest in loads of magic sponges and cure our injury problems.

 

that has actually made me laugh and cheered me up for about 10 seconds.

 

I would have resigned when Ashley didnt back me for finishing 5th and spent less than any other club in the league

 

We only have two players id even consider playing injured.

 

3 for me, Colo, Cabs, HBA.

 

I'd play 4-2-3-1 against Stoke and demand that Krul throws/rolls the ball out as much as possible.

I'd start Colo with Taylor, Santon and Simmo would be my full backs. My two holding players would be Perch and Tiote. I'd then have Ba, Anita & Sammy playing off Cisse.

 

Shrewd thinking

Maybe get Paul McKenna or Derren Browne in too and get them to remember we're a half decent side

 

Don't forget players who have been rushed back from injury too. We've got a lot of unfit players out there who haven't had the luxury of the HBA treatment (last season).

We need to sign players in January no question so that our tired ones can be given time to properly recover.

 

Some of these answers aren't quite what i was looking for.

But nonetheless they've improved my mood.

 

Lets have a sing song

"Always look on the bright side of life........................."

 

Doodoo, doodoodoodoodeedoo.

 

Sounds wise, Colo is back which is excellent news.

Other than that your plan is technically sound.

 

**** you Alan and your 10 year contract! That was a masterclass from us today, incredible! I'm glad you left! What did you ever do for us? I mean apart from signing Rickie Lambert. And winning us our first silverware in over 30 years etc etc

 

So positives all the way.

If proof was needed that our current squad is too thin, then surely Ashley has the proof before his eyes.
Let's see what he sanctions come January, that for me, will tell me all l need to know about the future of NUFC.

 

Perch is injured...

I'd do the same, but Bigi in his place

 

I couldn't fault AP for his time at Saints. I'm sure his sacking was something to do wwith his personal conduct rather than football matters. This season for you was never going to be as good as last year, which to be fair was an over-acheivement.

 

Perch was on the bench today and came on for Saylor near the end.

Unless he's injured himself since then
