10 Shocking Statistics That Prove Alan Pardew Should Be Sacked
8. Most PL Goals Conceded In 2014 - 49
Despite Pardews claims that he spends four days a week on defensive training, his team has conceded 49 goals this year. The past two full seasons have seen an enormous 127 goals leaked, with 14 from seven games so far. Newcastle also have the joint fewest clean sheets this year with five. If you watch these goals back, most of them are preventable and a result of awful defensive organisation. Mike Williamson doesnt belong in the Premier League and Fabricio Coloccini is a rapidly declining force. The clubs best defender, Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa, has been banished and sent to Roma despite barely being given a chance on Tyneside. Predictably, Yanga has had a fine start at the Champions League club. Pardews Newcastle on the other hand cant score and cant defend a deeply worrying trend.
