Pardew

Impressed me again, even with ten men he still had the bravery to go for the win. I have to say this but would chris have done that? I don't think he would have but impressed with pardew again but as someone posted earlier about Best I think he needs to teach him the offside rule

 

His tactics impressed me post-Taylor's-red. Handled it very well and it very very almost paid off.

 

he is offside all the time haha

but today we should of been atleast 3-0/4-0 before they even scored, credit to pardew to go 3-5-1.

but in the past 7 games the other 4 teams should not of got any points in them mackems,spurs,blackburn and now bolton as we should of put our chances away before the other team even scored.

 

Very good tactics, impressed me again today. Respect to him

 

^ This. Showing he's very tactically adept today. Three at the back made us more solid and harder to break down and two forwards got there defense active. Positive attitude and thinking by Pardew.. I like that.

 

Since a certain striker left i think we have been playing some really good football, instead of just hoofing it up and hoping for a kind knock-down. He seems to have gotten Enrique attacking more often down the left flank and he seems a better player for it, he's certainly been the best LB in the prems these past 4/5 games, he just needs to cut out those moments which he thinks he has everything under control, relaxes and then makes a mistake.

And with Benny, Ireland and Gosling coming back soon then we'll have some strength and depth back again.
