Got his tactics and game plan spot on. I think our players suit 4-3-3 but Pardew is unable to coach it effectively.
However when we play 4-4-2 every player to a man knows his job and credit to Pardew for that. We sat off Chelsea first half to see what they had in the locker, whatever it was wasn't enough. We then took the game to them second half and deserved that win. It's gone a long way to paying back the derby defeat, even more so after our midweek efforts.
I thought Debuchy was phenomenol today. Not one of hazard, oscar, mata or willian had the beating off him. Also thought Sissoko and Gouffran ran themselves in to the ground for the cause.
Great ball by Cabaye for the goal and felt Anita made us more offensive when he came on as he releases the ball a lot quicker than Tiote (who also had a good game).
Didn't see this result coming at all! We'll done the lads and the manager.

He does make too many mistakes. As good as it will get under this lot though
