James Perch Starts – Papiss Cisse On Bench

2:05 pm, Sunday, October 28th, 2012 by Ed Harrison · 275 Comments

As expected James Perch comes in for Cheick Tiote in the defensive midfield position and Shola Ameobi is again preferred to Papiss Cisse up front.

Otherwise, the team is as expected and it’s a strong one to take on a good West Brom side this afternoon.

And as expected Shane Ferguson, Gabby Obertan and Sammy Ameobi, who all had good games on Thursday night against Club Brugge, get places on the bench.

James Perch for Cheick Tiote is the only change from the starting eleven at the Stadium of Light last week, where some of our players showed top form, like our captain, Fabricio Coloccini, as the prime example.

And surprisingly Shane Long, the Irish International striker, who was the main man in this fixture last season when West Brom won 3-2, starts on the bench for Albion, with Odemwingie starting up front today.

Teams:

Newcastle United (4-4-2): Tim Krul; Danny Simpson, Mike Williamson, Fabricio Coloccini (c), Davide Santon; Hatem Ben Arfa, James Perch, Yohan Cabaye, Jonas Gutierrez; Shola Ameobi, Demba Ba
Substitutes: Steve Harper, Shane Ferguson, Steven Taylor, Vurnon Anita, Gabriel Obertan, Sammy Ameobi, Papiss Cisse

West Brom (4-5-1): Foster; Tamas, McAuley, Olsson, Ridgewell; Mulumbu, Morrison, Odemwingie, Gera, Dorrans; Lukaku.
Subs: L Daniels; Long, Fortune, El Ghanassy, Rosenberg, Jara Reyes, Popov.

    Former Newcastle left-back Jose Enrique shaved himself bald.

    So Gutierrez gets the nod again even though Fergusson has more than double the assists Jonas has. We need to create chances Pardew FFS

    Why are Everton fans ‘oleing’ each pass at 2-2?

  • 4 check the toastie // Oct 28, 2012 at 2:12 PM

    Team is unadventurous, overly defensive, way to negative, shouts lets play long ball football, and most dissapointingly predictable,

    Bet you cabaye and Benny are looking forward to watching the ball fly over their head. All in all, well p1ssed off.

    15 minutes until we change formation, its like Groundhog Game.

    Only good point is if we do play hoofball at least now we have a lerch up front in Shola.

  • 5 karasu // Oct 28, 2012 at 2:13 PM

    I dunno. To cheer their team on? I liked Suarez’s celebration. Way to get back at the biased critics who gang up on him after a few isolated incidents.

  • 6 toonLYF // Oct 28, 2012 at 2:13 PM

    Line-up as expected, and for what it’s worth I’d of done the same thing. Just hope Cisse gets some minutes, feel for him.

  • 7 t00ntime // Oct 28, 2012 at 2:14 PM

    Not happy with the formation+selection

    Im a 4-4-2 imo jonas isnt good enuff to be a LM. In a 4-4-2 wingers need to attack and defend, jonas only defends. Not good enuff

    We normally skip cabaye and hit it straight up to our front 2 (hence shola starting) so can see today being a fustrating day.
    Lets hope i’m proven wrong and we pass it around (cant see it)

  • 8 fergies left foot // Oct 28, 2012 at 2:14 PM

    im moving to London in january, and since I’ve “only” been to two games id love to get tickets for the away games against tottenham, west ham and qpr. so my question is, do you have to be a club member to get tickets for the away end, and which is the easiest way to get them?

  • 9 Ruddy Marveaux-lous // Oct 28, 2012 at 2:15 PM

    Karasu

    Hmmm, I’m not sure you’re familiar with the connotations of ‘oleing’, neither are the Everton fans it seems.

  • 10 catchy in norway // Oct 28, 2012 at 2:16 PM

    this is so shit,, same ol same ol

    he is driving me up the wall with his negative tactics ,

    why carnt he see that shola is as much use as cisse if he dont get service, and hmmmmm service isnt coming from the left side today, surprise , NOT

    F*** *FF pardew grow some balls

  • 11 check the toastie // Oct 28, 2012 at 2:16 PM

    Dont even think Allardyce would play long ball football if he had this squad at his disposal, even Howard wilkinson might think about trying to play the ball on the deck with this talented group of players.

    Even Dave Bassett would insist on rolling the ball to full back, not Pardewasaurus though, 40% possession time. Cabaye is going to be running around chasing the ball again. He must love linking up with the french team to realise that a ball can be cherished and not just given up with percentage balls.

    Rant, Rantm Rant, Rant, Rant, Rant………

  • 12 MagpiesFlyHigh // Oct 28, 2012 at 2:18 PM

    TLYF
    Cisse needed to strengthen the Cup 11, get some goals and back to top action…. Supersub in this game.

    No reason to play hoofball… if Perchinho has good link play with Cabs and Benny. If the players are good enough they should be able to adapt formations during the game. Just cos we start 4-4-2 doesn’t mean we are going to play two wingers and two STs. It is a tactical lineup to keep the real game plan underwraps till they guys go for it….he says hopefully :)

  • 13 toonLYF // Oct 28, 2012 at 2:19 PM

    Karasu – I agree, Suarez is definitely unfairly targeted. As apposed to Ashley Young, who dives continuously but not a word is said cause he’s Fergie’s property. I hate 90% of football pundits, over-influenced clueless yes men. Ray Hudson should get more work he’s amazing.

  • 14 toon1707 // Oct 28, 2012 at 2:21 PM

    Williamson ahead of taylor what the hell I am trying to not be a moaner but williamson ahead of taylor is a joke taylor is 99.9% a better defender and if pardew can’t see that then he is blind I am always on tenderhooks when williamson plays as I just don’t think he is a premier league defender he is decent at best rant over

    Amen to that Toonlyf, Hudson is a genius. He described Messi’s shot as ‘prejudiced’ the other day, as an adjective implying it was amazing.

  • 19 Big Pappa Cissé // Oct 28, 2012 at 2:25 PM

    Also wasn’t Williamson at fault for West Broms goal in the away game last season ? . A dodgy backpass or something. I am actually glad they have started Lukaku as it was the pace of Long and Odemwingie that crippled us in the 3-2

  • 21 mindshaft // Oct 28, 2012 at 2:25 PM

    funny some people are defending Suarez, he is well known as a diver , Ashley Young gets as much stick but I don’t think hes actually started a game this season
    And Phil Neville just got a yellow for a blatent dive as did some guy yesterday – good to see refs camping down on it, footballers may think of it as professional play but it needs to be stamped out and sending people off even retrospectively is the only way forward

    Lol willo is on par with taylor this season, in fact after watching the unbelievably chubby stevie t huff and puff around like a dump truck vs brugge i would of picked willo to taylor need to get out of greggs and get back to the training ground!

  • 25 tequilamag // Oct 28, 2012 at 2:28 PM

    There has always been divers in the game, fingers get pointed at foreign players as if they invented it but Rodney Marsh was notorious for it. If you get caught doing it though I think you should be sent off.

  • 26 Jail for Ashley // Oct 28, 2012 at 2:29 PM

    Unless I’m missing something with the clocks going back I don’t think the game has kicked off yet but apparently were playing a long ball already.

  • 27 beefman13 // Oct 28, 2012 at 2:29 PM

    Defensive minded he picks the team of course but we shouldn’t be in that frame of mind at home, perch in midfield at home when we have a dutch
    international as a sub.looks like a line up afraid to loose rather than a one to win.

  • 28 tequilamag // Oct 28, 2012 at 2:30 PM

    JFA literally lol at that one.

  • 29 gonufc (up and Hatem) // Oct 28, 2012 at 2:30 PM

    What’s even more worrying than the (dissappointing) line up is that Pardew is making excuses BEFORE the game

    Pardew:
    “If the fans are thinking we look a little disjointed or don’t know what we’re doing then they’re right- because we haven’t done enough work”

    WTF???

  • 30 NUFC STEVE // Oct 28, 2012 at 2:31 PM

    shit team once again.
    WRONG Formation!!
    WILLIAMSON,GUTI,SHOLA shouldn’t be anywhere near the team!!!
    Absolute shite!!!!
    Don’t no wat Obertan has to do to get in and saylor is in a different league to willo.
    Regret to say it but we will be found out today!!!

  • 31 check the toastie // Oct 28, 2012 at 2:31 PM

    Players with mainly Defensive duties from Pardew –

    Krul, Simpson Willo Collo Santon Jonas Perch Cabaye and Ben Arfa maybe Shola and Ba.

    Players told to go out and express themselves ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

    Just dont see were he is taking this squad, game after game of the same tired selections, he only ever tries anything adventurous at places like goodison, its almost as if he does it to say, hey i told you 4231 doesnt work, mans a tit at times.

    come on man,, you can see it is the same as every week,, im not saying we wont win, i just know its gona be a long hard 90 mins,, i mean to watch

    i wish i could just watch football through our position on the table and think it was ok,, but i like to watch the thing and see how we play,,,

    im fine with perch covering for tiote, that could have been him or bigi

    but why have williamson on when taylor is fit, ??? taylor is the better defender and can score goals,, now every corner or free kick will be aimed at williamson,, give taylor at least an hour

    jonas, WHY WHY WHY,, even you must see he is not the player he was,,

    i like anita, but the other night, bigi was the better player,, why does anita get the bench,

    pardew grrrr arrrrr

  • 33 barny // Oct 28, 2012 at 2:31 PM

    very disappointed to see we are playing 442 yet again, considering what we did to them playing 433 last season. i like shola but why start him when he can only last 20mins, imo guti should not be on the left wing he offers us nothing from there, he is a cm. if pardew insists on playing 442 at least he should play ferguson there, someone that can actually cross

  • 34 LGFUAD21 // Oct 28, 2012 at 2:33 PM

    People on here make about as much sense as pundits.

    Saylor was amazing last season before his injury but this season Williamson (for al his critic and limited ability) has been the more solid defender, growing with each game. Add to that the fact Saylor played a full 90 mins the other night and is injury prone Pards is right to pick Willo, world beater or not.

    And why cant people see we look better atm with Shola than Cisse and Ba. Ba gets onto his knock downs better. Provides a more reliable passing option.

    Shola isnt a striker and is never played as one. He is played up front but seldom to score.

  • 35 tequilamag // Oct 28, 2012 at 2:33 PM

    Beef, I think Anita will be a good signing for us but he is a def mid/ FB as well, same as Perch.

    Even though they’ll be ignored by the lemons on here jsut like Simmo’s stats last season

  • 38 jesperfuglsang // Oct 28, 2012 at 2:35 PM

    Tequila…just want to apologies to you again for my answer – had a read through and it was a bit uncalled for :-)

    …I actually wanted to say something different to you, but words got in the way.

    Just wnated to say that before the match (and becasue I respect your opinions very much so)

    Now that I have finished arse kissing, just want to say that was the predictability in our lineup I was talking about :-)

  • 39 LGFUAD21 // Oct 28, 2012 at 2:36 PM

    tequilamag

    Thats where you are wrong pal. People on here seem to think Anita is another CDM he is not. He is a deep lying playmaker with defensive capabilities.

    He will come through when he learns the game. He needs these cameos to help him calibrate to the physicaility and time allowed on the ball. As well as learning where his team mates prefer to take the ball.

  • 40 check the toastie // Oct 28, 2012 at 2:38 PM

    wish people wud stop going on about Simmo’s and Willo’s stats, just watch how they perform and make your mind up, stats truly are irrelevent regarding Willo, we all know how good he is, or not as the case may be.

    JFA – the team selection shouts hoofball, no intention to actually pass and move, hope Santon has a good game and maybe Ben10 will save Pardew again with a bit of outrageous skill. He is so lucky to have good players, personally still to be convinced with the slimy one.

  • 41 tequilamag // Oct 28, 2012 at 2:39 PM

    Catchy, I prefer Taylor to Willo as well, the point I was making isdon`t assume we are going to play poorly before we even kick a ball. I know Simmo is poison to you but imo with him and Collo back we can expect us to play the ball out better than we have been. If we play crap, slaughter me tomorrow.

  • 42 niafron // Oct 28, 2012 at 2:39 PM

    stats can be read anyway you want to put them,,

    you dont need stats to tell you that both simmo and willamson are our 2 biggest culprets for the long ball,,

    i dont need to read stats to say who is more likely to get on the end of a corner or free kick to score goals,,

    at the start of the season,, pardew said he wanted a 8 goal ayear CB,, i think saylor would be that defender,,

    i also think saylor is a better defender full stop

    Williamson has played a bit better of late, but still…Saylor at 80% is better than willo at 100.

    I’m actually excited to see a Ba/Ameobi partnership. Their play seems complimentary. .Tiote ruined things last week.

    Cisse seems a bit of a flair player….his not going to be a plus when it comes to possession. He is best used when it is clear that Newcastle will be dictating possession…which has not been the case recently.

  • 50 bills-son // Oct 28, 2012 at 2:44 PM

    Bloody hell, apart from Perch for Tiote this is the team that was steamrolling the Mackems in the first half hour, yet catchy and others are saying its a hoof ball negative line up?? Catchy, you say Pards should grow some balls? He’s showing that by leaving Cisse and STaylor out. Just because you disagree with the formation doesn’t mean he hasn’t got balls. What a dick you are at times.

  • 51 theonlytino11 // Oct 28, 2012 at 2:46 PM

    Seriously, do any of you actually watch the games?, Granted we don’t have tiote but this was the team that for 20 minutes took Sunderland to pieces at their place and totally outplayed them. Why is it when one person has a negative opinion you all jump on the bandwagon and agree – get your own opinions!

    Good point Niafron – its like he played Marveuax at Everton away and then the lad hasnt been sighted since, same with Vuckic at Liverpool away last year, some times it is so puzzling what Pardewasaurus is up to.

    Fergy good enough to play against Man Utd but not trusted against WBA, baffling stuff. Jonas hasnt completed a game wide left all season but then starts there again today, what is he thinking.

    Keep it tight for 45 minutes then try and win the game, so negative it is beyond reasoning by the mentally sound.

    If we are going to do this we should have Arfa and Santon on the left and Jonas and Simpson could work on the right as the main problem Jonas has is no left foot but if he was on the right he could just whip it in if he was going to lose it surely Pardew can see this????

    Bill-son – at last someone who makes sense!, Must have written nearly exactly as you did word for word whilst moaning about people not having their own opinions LOL!!! One thing I do seem to agree with is that we do look better as a 4-3-3 but I think Pardew has looked at West Brom as a well organised team and thinks we can’t afford to be overrun in the middle.

    Bills – steamrollering the Mackems, dont talk shite, we were 1-0 up and already defending our box as per normal, if that is steamrolling then you are easily pleased. Plus the Mackems are really shit.

    You dont have to be Jose Mourinho to know how the game is going to go, i tell you now if Jonas finishes the game in the position he started then i will quit the blog. Its probably long overdue anyway, fed up with people with there head up there arse.

    Spoken like two idiots.

    Stats are there to give an objective look at thinks. To measure. Fair enough you cant go completely off stats but they allow you to make an opinion with logic unlike you 2 with your high emotions and the optimism of eyeore from winnie the pooh

    The Simmo report I read compared him with all other “Top” RBs looking into a whole series of important (and measurable) factors.

    But i suppose it doesnt matter how many successful tackles you complete, blocks you make, clearances made. ground covered. the list goes on. So long as some keyboard warrior doesnt like you, data is irrelevant.

    You cant cook these stats like your company accounts.

  • 68 theonlytino11 // Oct 28, 2012 at 2:55 PM

  • 71 check the toastie // Oct 28, 2012 at 3:01 PM

    LG – if you think stats prove Simmo is a top RB then you are indeed the idiot, as he is not, also the club does not think he is as they are not offering him a contract he thinks he warrants.

    A RB is top of our shopping list, i wonder why??

    Statistically it is proven that Simmo is nervous in possession, never does anything with it and is one of the main reasons why Mr T and Cabs have to constantly try and win the ball back.

    calling people idiots is statistically proof that you are indeed the keyboard warrior, tough guy.

  • 89 Ruddy Marveaux-lous // Oct 28, 2012 at 3:20 PM

    That’s the problem with having the immobile Shola on the RW, how many times is he going to have acres of space to cross, not like he can nick a yard from a standing start.

  • 90 Szarka // Oct 28, 2012 at 3:20 PM

    Fair enough mate, i still feel jonas offers enough on the ball to have his starting spot. Fergy pushing him for his spot will do a world of good for both of them…hopefully haha

  • 96 niafron // Oct 28, 2012 at 3:31 PM

    Quiet game, quiet stadium and a very quiet Newcastle side…

  • 97 JDdubai // Oct 28, 2012 at 3:32 PM

    Main trouble we have today is down the right we have Willo right Cb, simmo, Shola and Perch right DM…..theres not a lot going foward from that side, gonna be hoping Santon and HBA have a good day.

    Santon and HBA need to be on different sides so we have a threat down either side IMO.

    Plus Ba seems very isolated, Shola needs to get closer to Ba, especially when the ball is on our left. The formation works with him tucking in if the RB will overlap and offer the width.

  • 98 niafron // Oct 28, 2012 at 3:32 PM

    Did he really do that?

  • 99 gstadt // Oct 28, 2012 at 3:32 PM

    Love it when HBA does that: “stuff you lot, you’re crap, I’ll make something happen.” :)

  • 102 north_country_boy // Oct 28, 2012 at 3:34 PM

    Plain and simple – we haven’t got enough offensive players on the pitch…especially for a home game. Perch and Jonas are pretty much doing the same job, Ameobi is not a right winger, Cabaye only has Ba running in front of him which is gonna lead to Ben Arfa trying to do it all himself. Why not give Sammy or Fergie a go on the left and move Ben Arfa back over to right. They’ve only got one up front so no need for two defensive midfielders as well…its time we took the game to the opposition especially in home games – i like Pardew but its time he let other teams worry about us rather than the other way round.

    HBA is great again, but shola and Jonas – aldo they work hard – are not enough for this team, both of them too slow , think too much, or doesnt think at all.

    Krul save again :cool:

  • 121 WWYCD // Oct 28, 2012 at 3:42 PM

    toonarmydownsouth
    But Willo is still on the pitch ffs! And Shola plus we are playing some odd 442 with 1 up front!!!

    How can a fan cope with this?!

  • 122 niafron // Oct 28, 2012 at 3:42 PM

    Needless to say, having Krull as MOTM isn’t exactly a good news.

  • 123 niafron // Oct 28, 2012 at 3:45 PM

    Would sub Shola and Jonas by Obi and Fergie. Both of them on the wings and Beny in the CAM role.

  • 124 niafron // Oct 28, 2012 at 3:47 PM

    Wasn’t glorious. At least this time, we aren’t trailed. If we don’t score again, will be tough to keep them at bay.

  • 125 achtoon // Oct 28, 2012 at 3:51 PM

    so having a great keeper is a negative thing now. Maure won the league many times due to a great keeper.

  • 126 Rowan Milsted // Oct 28, 2012 at 3:51 PM

    Fairly good half, HBA has been amazing, 2 great saves from |Krul though. We have to watch Lukaku on those runs when he’s up against Colo, has too much pace for him.

    Shola’s aerial flick-ons are fantastic but he’s not done too well aside from that, lost the ball a few times. He’s done a good job with another assist but not sure he should play the full 90 mins. Would love to see Cisse score today.

    Want to see more of Cabaye. Santon’s played very well so far. Silly yellow for Perch, maybe Anita will come on at some stage. Simmo got let off the hook too.

  • 127 Spuggy // Oct 28, 2012 at 3:51 PM

    We dominated most of it getting caught on the break a few times but Krul saves the day.

    Good performance so far if not spectacular. Shola has been on the deck but does add presence for long balls.

    Would love to see Cisse on 2nd half, we need a 2nd striker in
    form and he’ll get chances in this game. Fergy and Sammy to get late cameo’s too.

  • 128 catchy in norway // Oct 28, 2012 at 3:53 PM

    the good news is we are 1-0 up,,

    come on guys, this is poor to watch,

    26 mins the stats read 60% west brom,, at our home,,

    shola good assist, good cross, but not mobile enough

    still trying to figure out what jonas gives us this season,, if its running, there are thousands of fans that could do that job,,

    west brom are getting the ball down and playing football, and we would be fools to think this is easy,, they have had better chances than we have so far

  • 130 breno95 // Oct 28, 2012 at 3:55 PM

    Hook Shola. Winning a header don’t make him great FFS.
    Play Ba on his own.
    We need more pace so going to have to get Obertan ready and play him RM. Jonas and perch in centre and allow Cabaye to play further up field.

  • 131 catchy in norway // Oct 28, 2012 at 3:55 PM

    Spuggy

    we havnt dominated, the stats will show WBA have had more of the ball, and created better chances

  • 132 check the toastie // Oct 28, 2012 at 3:56 PM

    Timmy is superb, had forgot how many times he saved us last year until this game.

    Shola Right wing, that is a new one, we have Sammy, Fergy, Marveuax, Obertan all who would play in that spot, even Cisse, and yes i know we have scored a goal, but lets face it if Willo had defended like their CB did on that flick on he would have had pelters.

    Pardew has even started putting square pegs in round holes. At least Jonas didnt start wide left, i suppose i should be at least happy we are in the lead in this game, but it is progress i want, maybe i am just impatient.

  • 133 lukes26 // Oct 28, 2012 at 3:57 PM

    Shola’s wrecking havoc on West Brom’s defense. I don’t understand people on here who are clamoring for Cisse.

  • 134 JP...from The Rock // Oct 28, 2012 at 3:58 PM

    We are looking so ordinary. We should really LEARN HOW TO PASS along the ground. Gutierrez has to be our worst passer of the ball in the whole team including reserves. He is indispensable in breaking play and winning free-kicks but the amount of times he loses our attacking momentum with terrible inaccurate passes is so bloody annoying! It ruins all the good work he puts in. For a team with such talent we should really be passing the ball better, sharper and freely than what we are doing constantly. Up to now we have been badly lacking quality in the EPL. In Europa we’re alright but in the league we’re riding our luck way too many times for my liking. Apart from the derby and the Spurs game we have yet to get really stuck in. It’s not lack of effort but lack of concentration it seems. Our passing and crossing being the main problems as we keep giving the ball away cheaply time after time.

    So far a very frustrating match, even though we’re winning it was really against the run of play and quite fortunate. Good assist by Ameobi though.

    I hate to sound so negative but I am being a realist after watching closely our play these first few games this season. We need to wake up and pass the ball well and move into space. We do that and we’ll win easily.

    I would take Gutierrez off for either Sammy Ameobi or Obertan early in the second half.

    Although we’re winning for now we can do so much better.

    COME ON!!

    HWTL

  • 135 El Sleeve // Oct 28, 2012 at 3:58 PM

    not sure how happy i am about playing hoofball, even tho it gets us a goal or two, hardly the most thrilling stuff is it?

    i accept Ba has to play CF, but it seems we never go 4-3-3 because of him.

    2nd half, i’d like to see obertan or sammy come on for shola, move cabaye forward, jonas and perch holding

  • 136 niafron // Oct 28, 2012 at 4:00 PM

    @Achtoon

    You perfectly know what i mean by this sentence. If the keeper is the lad who shine on the pitch, yes, it’s a bad news for the team.

  • 149 JP...from The Rock // Oct 28, 2012 at 4:12 PM

    jimiley- We’re playing at home and being harassed by WBA! We have to wake up and Gutierrez may be vice-captain but the amount of times he loses the ball when it’s harder to miss the player and costs us the advantage of a good counter-attack time after time is ridiculous and extremely frustrating, he should go and evaluate why he has been replaced so he improves for the next game. Obertan deserves a run out after his impressive game the other night.

    No doubt we’ll hear some guff like “we looked comfortable until they scored.” because Paardew is an idiot and can’t see that is preoccupation with ‘controlling games’, induces complacency and leads to players switching off.

    Particularly at home, just go hell for leather, the crowd will react and we’ll romp to wins against inferior teams.

    We’re the makers of our own problems.

    Its been about a year since we last scored from a corner against wolves. Got to be one of the worst records ever?

  • 209 toonarmydownsouth // Oct 28, 2012 at 4:39 PM

    JP
    Hey? Ober n colo our having shockers

  • 210 jimiley // Oct 28, 2012 at 4:39 PM

    WE have not played well but we are at least drawing. Remember that this is an 8 year plan. We have to be patient. It will come right in the end.

  • 211 Rowan Milsted // Oct 28, 2012 at 4:41 PM

    Not seen any of the movement from Obers that I saw mid week.

  • 213 daztoon // Oct 28, 2012 at 4:42 PM

    Pardew gets an eight year deal for this crap

  • 214 jimiley // Oct 28, 2012 at 4:42 PM

    It might be that the players are tired after the midweek game?

  • 215 p // Oct 28, 2012 at 4:43 PM

    Don’t they practice passing?

  • 216 toonarmydownsouth // Oct 28, 2012 at 4:43 PM

    Catchy
    He does but there profesional footballers not robots i doubt his instructions were right lads forget how to take a neat first touch and also misplace as many 10 yard passes as possible, like i said pards will shoulder the blame but the lads should hang there heads after this second half

  • 217 toonarmydownsouth // Oct 28, 2012 at 4:44 PM

    Ffs cisse 2 yards out open goal

  • 218 Klam3r // Oct 28, 2012 at 4:44 PM

    Outplayed again… poor poor tactics! Jonas hasn’t showed me why he should be a starter for a long time now!

  • 219 Ruddy Marveaux-lous // Oct 28, 2012 at 4:44 PM

    Irony is now, we’re a team with oodles of spirit, but no clue or distinguishable, cohesive approach whatsoever.

  • 220 spudzzz // Oct 28, 2012 at 4:44 PM

    not a single threat on west brom goal all 2nd half….

    evry 30 secondes ….i am giggling in despair at us

  • 221 Rowan Milsted // Oct 28, 2012 at 4:45 PM

    That flick from Cisse the highlight of 2nd half. Please, please give him another chance

  • 222 davis_toons // Oct 28, 2012 at 4:46 PM

    Did WBA play well? Or?

  • 223 toonarmydownsouth // Oct 28, 2012 at 4:46 PM

  • 224 JP...from The Rock // Oct 28, 2012 at 4:47 PM

    This is one of the worst matches we’ve played in a long time.

  • 225 toonbrother // Oct 28, 2012 at 4:47 PM

    even hba is having a stinker

  • 226 Jamiemac // Oct 28, 2012 at 4:47 PM

  • 227 niafron // Oct 28, 2012 at 4:48 PM

  • 228 toonarmydownsouth // Oct 28, 2012 at 4:48 PM

    Rowan
    Thats not a highlight that was desperation mixed with stupidity any cf in the world would take it round the keeper when thete team needs the win

  • 229 breno95 // Oct 28, 2012 at 4:48 PM

    Terrible, terrible and oh yes terrible sums this rubbish up.
    That’s for all those who will some how come up with some positives.

  • 230 toonbrother // Oct 28, 2012 at 4:49 PM

    awful. just awful

  • 231 Gosforth Phill // Oct 28, 2012 at 4:49 PM

    Sure someone was getting grief somewhere in this thread after saying we would be playing hoof it long football.
    Afraid he was spot on.
    If BSA was manager now we’d be calling for his head.
    Painful 2nd half.

  • 232 geordie1892 // Oct 28, 2012 at 4:50 PM

    Wtf did pardew say at half time? Why can we only turn up for one half? It’s getting bloody ridiculous how sh!te we are at times.

  • 237 davis_toons // Oct 28, 2012 at 4:51 PM

    Newcastle 1st goal:

    Consist of GK+ST+ST

    GK-FreeKick + ST (Shola, Headed On) + ST (BA, Turn and Score)

    In the league we’ve been shocking…..I am afraid if things dont change quickly we are in for mid table mediocrity again

  • 245 MUTINYbyLEMONS // Oct 28, 2012 at 4:51 PM

  • 246 Szarka // Oct 28, 2012 at 4:51 PM

    What a luck men :D
    We didnt deserved it, but lets count it as a revenge for Sunderland draw.

  • 247 Ruddy Marveaux-lous // Oct 28, 2012 at 4:52 PM

    toonarmydownsouth

    The brain is a complex organ, I’m sure all this messing about with formations, asking players to perform tasks not suited to them and putting more emphasis on structure and restraint, instead of technique, movement and imagination, is definitely to the detriment of the flow of the team and yes, even basic skills, as they all seem jittery, hesitant, not playing naturally, which leads to all this indecision and misplacement of passes etc, at least that’s my take.

    :D :D GOAL!

    Is Pardew a case of “rather have a lucky manager, than a good one?” ;)

  • 248 nufc786 // Oct 28, 2012 at 4:52 PM

    thank god for tht………

  • 252 MUTINYbyLEMONS // Oct 28, 2012 at 4:52 PM

  • 253 cadete // Oct 28, 2012 at 4:52 PM

  • 254 gonufc (up and Hatem) // Oct 28, 2012 at 4:52 PM

  • 256 Gosforth Phill // Oct 28, 2012 at 4:53 PM

    Even if the announcer gave it to Sammi

  • 257 niafron // Oct 28, 2012 at 4:53 PM

    What is the biggest church in Newcastle? Meet you there?

  • 258 MUTINYbyLEMONS // Oct 28, 2012 at 4:53 PM

  • 259 toonarmydownsouth // Oct 28, 2012 at 4:54 PM

  • 260 daztoon // Oct 28, 2012 at 4:54 PM

  • 269 CisseSomething // Oct 28, 2012 at 5:00 PM

    HE SCORES WHEN HE WANTS!!

  • 270 JP...from The Rock // Oct 28, 2012 at 5:02 PM

    That was one of the most frustrating matches I have ever witnessed but I am left with a good taste in my mouth after that FLUKE of a goal. I’ll take it thank you very much, better next time lads ey.

  • 271 jimiley // Oct 28, 2012 at 5:04 PM

    We played rubbish and still won. Thats becoz we are a very good team. When Jonas and Tiote and a few others start playing again we are a top 4 team.

  • 272 catchy in norway // Oct 28, 2012 at 5:05 PM

    a win is a win,, but how much luck do we carry

    we have to be the worst footballing side in the league right now,

    im sure pardew has got coaches badges,, but im not sure how,
    his tactics are awful , his use of subs , well that begers belief , first, obertan,, ( who was poor) puts him on the left, hmmm why not fergy,, then switchs him to the right side, then puts sammy on the left,, hmm why not fergy,,,

    you pardew fans can say what ever you like , but you all know your deluding yourselfs if you think he is a good coach, a good man manager, a good tactitian , he is no where near good at any of those things,,

    WBA played us of the pitch today,, some of there passing was fantastic, and should have got at least a point, glad they did not but all luck

    pardews gona say ,, there a good side,, as good as any we have played here, its no fluke there up there this season,, they have good players,,, jonas was a rock today, he worked his socks off,, if im honest, i fancy him, i wish he would cut his hair, if he didnt have that tash id swear he was a girl,, lmao

    this was shit

  • 273 Rowan Milsted // Oct 28, 2012 at 5:06 PM

    Phew! Crap performance, great result. Could have been worse. A lot worse. Let’s not play like that again in a hurry! Awful 2nd half.

  • 274 davis_toons // Oct 28, 2012 at 5:08 PM

    JOnas save us a GOAL down when he was in the ball and CLEAR the ball after COLO cant deal with it.

  • 275 stuart no9 // Oct 28, 2012 at 5:17 PM

    jimiley @ 270 think that wins gone to your head, we are rubbish.
