nigel pearson come in and save us.

thing is, the fat cunt doesnt realise you can use the 3 centre back system as an attacking formation. its the players you play around them and the positions you play them in.

whenever i hear that phrase, i always think of blackburn away and, years later, Partizan home.

Keown: Former Arsenal and England defender Martin Keown has issued a brutal response to Steve Bruce's recent comments about his Newcastle United players. Bruce has come under pressure after Newcastle's recent slide in form culminated in a damaging defeat to rock-bottom Sheffield United on Tuesday evening. In an extraordinary press conference, Bruce said he side were 'absolutely s****' against Sheffield United and the Magpies' head coach warned his players that the 'gloves are off' as he looks to do things 'his way' from now on. Newcastle travel to Arsenal on Monday looking to reverse a run of eight matches without a win, scoring just one goal from open play in that time. And Premier League winner Keown believes Bruce can't 'detach himself' from his side's woeful form, suggesting Newcastle are now a club 'going to war'. "Being cynical, he has been there 18 months so whose way was he doing it before?" Keown told BBC One's Football Focus. "He has been the manager and he can't detach himself from that. "But he is calling out the players, that is the style of management he wants to bring in and he is under real pressure now. That is not going to change. "It will be interesting to see what the performances are like from here on in, but they are going to war there."

I don't have an account. What thre sentence/paragraph that refers to the optional training ? “Given Bruce’s stern post-match rhetoric, some players were taken by surprise when the next day’s warm-down session remained “optional”. I think we all know who wants more days off and easy training too! “There are the usual training-ground gripes at Newcastle. Players out of the team are never happy. Some players want more days off, some want less, some want training to be focused, to train with a purpose, others prefer a lighter touch.l wouldnt have heard a squeak out of any of them under Rafa.

looks desperate to be paid up and sacked. cunt is loaded. why drag it out longer. his missus must be desperate to get the fuck out of newcastle and move back manchester or wherever they felt safe.

Good because he’s been better than almost everyone in that shower on Tuesday night you'd prefer him in over gayle, matty, murphy and miggy. he should be the last guy brought back into the team.

Bruce was also asked if Ashley had been in touch following the alarming run of form. Bruce said: "No but I speak to the CEO (Lee Charnley) every day."

the worm/cunt is turning Robbie Savage admits Newcastle United are in a relegation fight after poor run of results Steve Bruce is facing pressure after Newcastle United slipped to defeat at the Premier League's bottom side Sheffield United Newcastle United are in a relegation fight according to pundit Robbie Savage. Savage, who has been one of Steve Bruce's fiercest supporters, believes the Magpies will avoid the drop but will have a fight on their hands to do so. The former Premier League midfielder also revealed that he doesn't actually think Bruce is a 'great manager' despite the constant defence of his former gaffer. Speaking to Emma Jones for William Hill, Savage said: "I like defending all managers. "I've never been a manager, I don't know how difficult it is to be a manager. "I don't know what the hierarchy have said to him. I've read quotes from Steve Bruce, he said his remit is to keep Newcastle in the Premier League - he'll do that I think. "I'm not saying Steve Bruce is a great manager, I'm not. I'm saying Steve Bruce, I believe will keep Newcastle in the Premier League. "Newcastle United fans will want more than that, I understand. They want to watch a better style of football, more attacking football, but sometimes it is very hard to do that. Listen to the Everything is Black and White Podcast with special guest Warren Barton "You look at Brighton now playing a much better style of football and yet are in massive relegation trouble. "Bournemouth, look at the way they played, now they're in the Championship. "Steve Bruce will keep them in the Premier League but I know Newcastle United fans want more than that." When asked by Jones if Bruce had taken United forward with the club lying in 15th, Savage added: "It's a very fair debate. "Their average finishing position when they've been the Premier League since 1992 is 10th place, I think they're about seven points of 10th, so if Steve Bruce finishes in that 10th position, it's an average Premier League season for Newcastle United. "They are in a relegation battle, I think though. "

small point but didnt Reidy get the mackems to 7th? just the fact that he listed those clubs and said he'd got them best ever finishes.

he'll be back in against arsenal.

They do if they’re principled like Keegan. Gullit.

Sebastian Haller on his debut for ajax

eh? second to who? wilder?

that should def be his new title.

last night officially made Bruce the worst. even Clueless Carver wouldnt have played 9 defensively minded players against the bottom club without a win to its name.

who gave out contract extensions to past-it players? who signed krafth and hendrick? who let lejeune go out on loan? shite squad??

really needs to be asked wtf he means by a false 10. unfuckingbelievable.

well voiced, warren.

just getting in Willems would be a fucking relief tbh.

omg!!!!!!!! he now claims to not only have invented the "false number 10" but he apparently played two of them last night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Steve Bruce explains tactics at Sheff United and 'two false no 10s' plan that backfired Newcastle United suffered the ignominy of being the first team to lose to Sheff United this season Steve Bruce has explained his thinking on tactics during the dire 1-0 defeat at Sheffield United. The Magpies were beaten by the bottom side in the Premier League and barely laid a glove on the Blades on an awful night for the club at Bramall Lane. Bruce named five at the back but the word before the game was that a front three was supposed to probe the struggling Yorkshire club. When asked about tactics, Bruce said: "Too defensive in the approach? "Well we have played the same sort of way and I have changed the personnel at the top end of the pitch to try to give us something a little bit different because we haven't scored enough or created enough. "That was my thinking, playing Ryan Fraser and Sean Longstaff as two false number 10s instead of Miguel Almiron and Big Joe. "Of course, because of the games we've had I tried to pick a team with a certain freshness. "I wanted to see if something different would work. "In hindsight what I needed was to get in at half-time to change things around but unfortunately the red card put pay to that."

5 wins and a couple of draws??? nee chance.

massive turning point for the club. just felt empty for days.

that fucking bbc interview on the podcast, man - admits he thinks he rightly went pragmatic first, even after the interviewer reminded him sheff utd had only gained 2 points so far this season. clueless. cant believe he admits he set out his team not to lose first against the bottom club. still cant believe it. that is an absolutely horrendous admission.

what the fuck would matty and miggy have been thinking looking at that line up when it was announced??? i bet even wilson was furious. up front on his own with only fraser for company. idiotic. even saivet is better than sean and kendrick.
