You mean he screwed us certainly? By not taking anything from our first two home games against relegation candidates no 1 and 3. Just because he wanted to start a vanity project and underestimated the English game.
And to add insult to injury: now , surprise surprise, no other club is in for him; he might consider the Dutch national team. He can sod off with his useless, aimless, boring, overly controlling, non creating possession s***!

I know where he came from, I had a season ticket at Ajax when he started playing there......
But to argue that we knew what to expect is utter nonsense. His whole career , minus a few games at Inter, he has played in and with a 4 men defense, usually with either 3 midfielders and wingers far forward with a striker or at a later stage with a "false" forward winger when the traditional Ajax winger was starting to be unavailable.
His whole attitude and persistence in the 5 men defense was his responsibility and his alone, or do we really think Parish insisted at 5 at the back when hiring him. It may well be worth noticing that the better display at Burnley came after 4 at the back. And behind closed doors I would not be surprised that only happened because of external pressure on the Boer who by then already had managed to loose the dressing room. I am not sure but it does seem likely.

A vanity project and arrogant underestimation of English football.

In terms of "Not being cut adrift", the gap between ourselves and safety has narrowed and we are in a more healthy situation than we were a few weeks ago.

That said, a loss today and others around us winning and we will once again be in a more parlous position.I might be going out on Saturday night riddled with negativity.

A draw would be a decent result for us.
Cannot see us winning.
As I have mentioned before, at Pardew's last 5 clubs he hasn't lost his opening match as manager.
