btw 4-4-2 ain't gonna work with this group of players, not enough pace in the defence and all of the CM options have proven they're not that effective in a two so he'll have to go 4-5-1/4-1-4-1 to get any kind of meaningful change out of them but he'll face the same set of issues he has now surely EDIT: lazaro-----schar----lascelles-------rose -------------hayden-------------- ASM---bentaleb----longstaff---almiron ----------40m man---------------- that's the best i think you could get out of them changing the system, maybe swap longstaff/hayden around or whatever but give the DM that sole role to protect and ensure the other two are always moving looking for the ball he's still playing almiron on the right though so i'm not hopeful

distilled down this is the issue as it was for rafa when he first started playing it he solved it by having schar/lejeune dictating play and the two midfielders in front of them offering options for a short pass into space to get things moving, this of course allowed the wing backs to move up and midfield get closer to the strikers bruce clearly doesn't understand that these are the fundamental things you need to make the system work because he's not playing the best ball playing CBs we've got therefore the midfield two stand static in front protecting the defence for all the long balls coming back at them i'm a know nothing nobody but even i fucking understand that, how can he now?

I'm currently torn between every journalist being a willing shill of the rich or the rich have worked out how to play them like a fiddle. It's probably both tbh but it's at every level of the craft.

He doesn't have a fucking clue.

Caulkin has kept mostly quiet for good reason. When he did finally comment, he agreed the bid was genuine, but quite rightly concluded that the sale depended on what the fat b****** wants to do. If we haven't been sold during the last decade, it's because Ashley will always keep changing the price depending on who the buyer is. If someone meets the price, then he'll bung in some unreasonable conditions. Knowing his form, I would never be too optimistic of him selling up. I'm actually amazed any potential buyers are still interested. Supposedly. Can only assume buyers are assuming the PL bubble ain't gonna burst anytime soon, perhaps the Amazon thing will be a game changer in the rights selling stakes. Obvs that doesn't apply if it is the Saudi state wanting a bit sportswash but I'm not 100% convinced that's the case myself.

Some Korean account on Twitter on about family stuff, wants to go back closer to his wife's work or something like that. Probs sign for Celtic tomorrow.

I mean it's encouraging that he's a human being on some level I guess. Funny how footballers are slated for not being robots and doing/saying exactly what's expected of them.

Aye they changed it a while back. It was either that pointless mod, give an edit function that literally everyone wants, or get rid of the Nazis. Tough one tbf.

He won't get back to it under Bruce. That much is already obvious.

There's no indication yet that any deal has fallen through. We know it's a real bid, so if it goes tits up I'm sure we'll find out. Ashley called Staveley a timewaster last time, you know he'd just love to stick the boot in and blame her for it again. I'd imagine Staveley would give Caulkin another interview if it falls through too. She can give all the paper interviews she wants. She could go and outline how he's fucked the deals both times but Ashley is the Tories and everyone else is Labour. Truth doesn't matter, nothing matters. He's rich and can get most of the media and Sky Sports saying whatever the fuck he wants whenever he wants.

Agree with this Bruce doesn't know how to play a system or Ki so it's pointless. Might as well fuck off.

I envy the delusion in these people. What the fuck made him think "yeah getting on camera is the way I'm gonna go, with these looks, this body language and that voice I'll 100% going places"

Past it at the level Spurs have been playing at is not likely to be past it for us #justsayin

Literally just copy link to tweet and paste

Jesus the Reuben brothers worth 18bn

Totally agree No place for it. Fuck off to RtG with it pls.

Spoiler alert: they won't

Not a chance in hell unless the fee is pennies

Definitely agree with this. 100% Yup Pls. They add nothing of value, ever.

Can't see why not. Good age, eye for a goal. Could turn into hot shit around better players.

Why is Rose so desperate to get out of Spurs again, is it to move North?

Statement just wasn't needed imo. He doesn't give a fuck in any meaningful sense that he'd read it and think ok then lets sell up for the good of the people and city. However he's certainly petty enough to decide to throw in more shit to put them off and fuck up the deal imo. Just not required.

They could go and buy Sheff Wed, large fan base, ripe for a new stadium and facilities. He wont pay for stadiums and facilities though plus sunderland already have those .he wont even need to pay for new seats. Mackems are the perfect club for him. At least we moan a little bit sometimes, they'd fall over themselves to lick his boots

wouldn't surprise me one bit if this has broken because the buyers are pushing to have something signed in order to bring in a player or two to ensure we don't get relegated to answer question i'd also imagine ashley is doing everything he can to fuck it up

Your first mistake was listening to brexit radio Totalsport is on BBC Newcastle, although... Haha Talksport. Fuck.
