Gallowgate End

Nice high line Pep

I sadly can't see us going down now but we will finish around 15-17 max

We play a revitalised Everton next, then Leicester, Wolves, Chelsea, Everton again before we ply Norwich and then Arsenal.

We could very much have a John Carver like 2nd half of the season. Can anyone see Brice being able to turn it around after those fixtures?

If he plays his 5-3-2 for the next 7

Robbie Savage will be impressed

Didn’t he tell us to thank Bruce for the attacking football we’re getting under his pal Brucie.

A cool 27% attacking possession today.

Robbie Savage will be impressed

Favourite part of the Bruce post match interview.

“We conceded more tonight than we’ve conceded for the last 3 months”

That’s not exactly true is it Brucie

Leicester have been disappointing again

Embarrassed on amazon prime, he’s getting embarrassed on amazon prime

“Team shape is what Bruce prides himself on”

The bloke wouldn’t know how to setup his dinner table without copying his wife.

Joelinton asking for Rashford’s shirt at half time now we know what he came to Newcastle for

Savage says we should have praise for how attacking we are.  Says Rafa would have that kind of praise...

 

Thundering idiots in that studio.

Thanks for the attacking football Bruce.

Same system as last season but more attacking according to Alan

Definitely reads The Chronicle.

Lovely counter. 2-0 Redmond

Great team goal.

Zaha vs Zabaleta should be illegal

Arsenal concede by over playing at the back.

Arteta = Emery 2.0

Robbie Savage on the amazon prime show.

“Brucie just used to tell us get the ball to Dugarry”

Basic Brucie

Pascal Groß has got great delivery.

Underrated player.

Pardew literally talking out his arse there trying to analyse some clips of brighton and was saying the opposite of what was happening on the screen.

Made me think of what Bruce would be like at doing analysis

I bet Man Utd wouldn’t even pay 50p for him now

  “I just want to say a big thank you to the supporters and Chronicle readers at Christmas,” he said.

 

“Most of the supporters – well all of them that I’ve bumped into in the street – wish me well and at this time of year I’d like to wish them well over the festive period. I wish them when, I hope they have a great Christmas and I look forward to catching up with all of them soon.

 

“We’ve got a quite unique support and that brings expectation with it. That’s what I’m trying to achieve anyway. When you have games and moments like Saturday, it can only try to bring the supporters back.

 

“Our supporters will always back the team. If there is a repair job to be done, hopefully we’re putting it back on the right track again.”

 

"Repair job"

 

I thought he’d be managing in America.

How does he make them say this every time? 

Love how it’s got literally the same sentence as BZG put almost as if they’re reading from a script

I'm just shocked you're not posting that we're 8th for goals conceded.

Aye it was Bruce who made us good defensively....

 

I’m getting a public hanging on Twitter for this tweet about local hero Brucie

 

I replied to someone on Twitter talking about Bruce. I mentioned xG and xPoints to highlight the fact that we're in a bit of a false position and was met by several replies along the lines of "Actual goals and points matter, give Bruce a break!!!", "That is the most ridiculous stat anyone could come up with - a pointless statistic", "Stop looking at stats and start looking at results". Twitter is full of fucking morons. I won't be commenting on anything again as I can't be arsed explaining how xG is actually a really good indicator and predictor of a side's true performance to some fucking imbecile.

Some of the replies are fantastically simple minded

If I saw someone come in and play a new formation and saw lots of things that he’s done coaching wise that has improved us then I’d say fair enough but Bruce hasn’t done that.

If Graham Potter was Newcastle manager and had us playing like Brighton I’d have to praise him because you can see his coaching deserves praise.

With Bruce there’s hardly anything I can see that deserves praise everything that’s good about us he inherited he hasn’t coached anything good into us that I can praise.

How many managers have gone in and played the exact same system as the previous manager a formation that he’d never played in his life before.

Bruce is just a fraud that’s living off the good things he inherited.
