Alan Pardew Press Conference - Southampton 03/03

lundi 2 mars 2015

- on having beaten southampton already - maybe a possible psychological edge - two teams go into game with different scenario - we are motivated after great result at west ham

- all teams get to a point where it becomes difficult to break teams down - everybody have more respect for them - opposition teams are more diligent now

- top half not a realistic target - not prepared or good enough to do that yet - still evolving and plan is to stay in the division

- as manager i have to find a way to motivate my players - genuinely believe they are better than they believe

- on Jedinak elbow - have seen it - I have seen worse where nothing has happened - will be surprised if something happens with this - the media have highlighted it though

- trial by media can be dangerous and FA have to be careful - we have an incident on Dawson from earlier in the season - the FA have a tough job - look at Matic and Ireland - where do you draw the line? Retrospective on sending offs and diving are in the agenda and there need to be clear guidelines

- Gayle can lead the line - have been fortunate that all our strikers have scored - they have all done brilliantly - whatever formation we go with I am confident of goals in the team

- Sanogo and Chamakh are training but we have to be careful with them - w no chance for southampton - Sanogo ok for QPR

- on Mutch - will have a scan today - he has been very good in last couple of games

- on Jason Puncheon - has qualities to play for England but may be too much competition - am pleased he is playing so well from me - had three assists and could have had five..

- more on jedinak elbow - media not making it difficult but some incidents get more coverage than others - the Figueroa tackle is more serious than Jedinak elbow - needs clear indication of that the guidelines are

- we are waiting to hear from the FA

- on away form- had a little bit of luck here and there and resilience - my initial thoughts on the team were to hurt the opposition - we have put clubs on the back foot away from home and got our rewards for that - teams are alot warier of us

- the team is a great set play team - we have great delivery and players who attack the ball - I have not changed anything in that respect - I cant take credit for that - the group can take that credit

- Southampton are strong at the moment - not always about personnel - could be about form or momentum - is hard to sustain 38 games without having tough periods - even for the best teams

- enjoy going back to old clubs - always good to say old friends - look at Jose Fonte - has done so well there - will give him a cuddle
