Sometimes we rate our players as the players we think they could be...based on glimpses.....not what they're out tbere provinv to be
I would agree with you chief, we've seen some absolute brilliance from te likes of cisse, ben arfa, cabaye etc. But none of them have been consistent enough.
Pardewed.
Exactly. The reason these players are underperforming is down to Pardew.
Clueless tactics, strange subs, odd formations, players out of position, no apparent plan, shocking man management, blame culture on players when it goes wrong, and taking of credit by the manager when it goes right.
I couldn't be more sure that a decent manager with the same set of players could easily have been knocking on the top 6 door last season. Benitez for example.
Pardew will have us flirting with relegation again next season.
Whatever happens, we will have an underperforming team and squad, with player values dropping as a result, and likely more dissent.
On the plus side, if we get Remy, Pards will have a rape pal. They can discuss tactics and approach.
Also, if we get Samba, Ashley and Llambias will have a fellow 100% money obsessed mercenary.
Things are looking up!
