Is that quote actually real? ? Horrendous take if true.

I can understand it. I’m not sure why it had to be done so publicly. It needed to be done though.

Saw him getting pelters for this but I think he comes across well. I don’t think he’s said anything too out of turn or too unexpected. He’s towing the party line a little but he’s going to be like that. Shelvey is one of Bruce’s favourites so he’s going to support him. I don’t think he’s too out of turn saying he’s the best man manager he’s worked under either. The choice of words was interesting. You can tell he gets on well with the players, he’s just tactically fucking useless. I can remember Steven Gerrard talking about Rafa and how some players struggled as he was so stand offish and treated them like cogs in the machine. Shelvey maybe the same.

I wonder why we struggled so much playing Hendrick and Shelvey in that holding role ?

Great news!

I’m already worried we won’t keep a clean sheet and there’s something that can be pinned on Dubravka. Darlow will be straight back in and Bruce will be praised by his media mates.

It’s been a while since he’s been spraying good passes too. I don’t know whether I’m being too harsh here. I know he scored the other week but I can’t remember him really stretching the pitch like he was able to or imposing himself on a game. His set pieces must be the worst in the league. I used to really like him as well. He’s lucky there isn’t an alternative. I know there’s calls for the Longstaffs but Sean has been really poor and wasted his chance. Matty doesn’t look ready for his cameos. Then there’s Hendrick. He doesn’t have any competition.

Every more crazy to think Bruce has favoured other players or loaned out these three. How did this happen ffs!

Giving McClaren and Bruce money and not Rafa is one of the most bizarre decisions in the Ashley era.

I was thinking this yesterday. Probably clutching. They’ve had a really really good run and they’re still 3 points behind. If we win a couple of games in the next few, they lose and the points gap looks big again it’ll be a huge mental hurdle for them to overcome. We need to do our bit and get some wins though.

Look at the difference in the football man. Even the amount of players we’re getting in the box playing apparent defensive football under Rafa. We’re absolutely worlds away from this now.

Haha get in Palace! Hope they screw over Fulham next week as well.

I think it’s a bit harsh criticising him for the penalty. How often do players go straight down the middle after they’ve recently missed one or missed on v the same keeper? He made a decision and stuck to it. It’s time to get Dubravka back in though.

Feigning injury man ? I understand people dislike players but making shit up is a borderline vendetta.

Nah, we deserved to lose.

Aye, it’s a pen for me. If that was the other way I’d be annoyed if we didn’t get it.

I think I’m past believing Bruce will get sacked now. I think Mike is gambling he’ll he ok and that he might be rid of us within months. It’s a must win game for me. I’m going to optimistically say we’ll do it as well. Wolves aren’t unbeatable for us like Chelsea and Man U and their passing style might play into our new higher press. Hopefully Joelinton is fit as Gayle is shite in that system and it didn’t seem to work as planned with Fraser or Murphy there. Didn’t think I’d ever be hoping that!

I don’t believe it would have changed the game for a second but I’m not sure how VAR didn’t spot this. Every viewing it looks worse. If you’re giving pens for the Willock challenge then surely that’s got to be given too?

He’s poor but I’m not sure how we kept letting Rashford get 1v1s with him? I’m assuming that’s either Hayden or Shelvey’s job.

Thought he did ok? The deflection caught him for the goal so I’m not sure why people were blaming him.

I think if you’re a Fulham fan watching that you’re pretty confident. Man U didn’t really put much effort in and scored 3 goals. We had a few good spells in the first half and the very start of the second but at 2-1 we totally gave in and that’s not a good sign. I know this isn’t the type of game that will decide if we stay up or not but it shows we’ll be lucky to stay up. Wolves next week is a must win.

Taking the piss putting an actual child on now

Hayden has been rubbish today. Followed a poor performance against Chelsea to being miles off again here.

Couldn’t have made this any easier for them

Looks like the belief has drained out of us
