ahahaaha thank god this rank strat hasnt worked

He's going to 0-0 his way to safety isn't he and claim how brilliant he is isn't he...

If anyone thinks Ashley has some kind of master plan think again. We've been here so many times before, he isn't doing 4th dimensional chess, he is cheap, when he does invest he does it bady and is stubbon so won't make changes when necessary. It's pathetic cos I hate how quickly managers get sacked normally these days but part of that his hiring ones with at least some level of competance in the first place. Letting Rafa go was a terminally stupid thing. Buying Joelinton was a terminally stupid thing. Hiring Steve Bruce was a terminally stupid thing. Keeping Steve Bruce is a terminally stupid thing. this is how Mike Ashley operates, desperate gamble to save every penny.

Hmm he was a bit more progressive and all but it felt like he had absolutely no dressing room charisma, the squad was suddenly quite different and it didn't work at all. Maybe he'd do ok in a director of football roll but don't think he can motivate a squad of players and while he was more astute than Bruce not so astute as to make a huge difference. McClaren has achieved things in his career but feel he had got rather outdated and been out of premier league too long. These are the managers Ashley likes, devalued due to being out the game for a bit and poor results so are cheap and won't complain. I don't feel McClaren was at all malevolent, Bruce is just squatting for pocketing half big andy carrol's appearance bonuses.

In fairness he only gets half as per his agreement with Brucey

Holy shit willing to bet the 75% pass accurace is 3 passes and 1 failed one :lol:

To be honest we could have Mbappe and Bruce would have 'coached' him into utter uselessness

Absolute disgrace to the club.

Bruce is so fucking lucky there are no fans this season.

gets paid for every game he appears in. Brucey probably gets a cut.

Remember a few games ago when he said from now on we were doing things his way? :lol: What has changed? :lol:

He's still only 24? Somehow thought he was older already. Yeah sad it didn't work out, feel he got hyped a bit early so got sent out on loan quite early and then difficult to keep him since he wanted and was used to first team football elsewhere.

Albeit if it was championship Gayle would have scored by now

Hes up against some very stiff competition but hendrick may be the worst player i've seen for us in the ashley era

fyp

ban football the whole sport is invalidated by how dreadful this game is

Is he even actually on the field?

Mole has been found!

At least vampires might use trickery to get in though, its more like that scene from monty python where they forget to hide in the trojan rabbit

theres no urgency getting ball back just basicallya ttack, lose ball wait for them to have a shot and wait till get goal kick.

50/50 possession, we deserve each other

Never seen a player be so afraid of getting involved. Actively making himself unavailable to receive a pass. Imagine being so scared of doing your job, especially when its broadcasted to millions of viewers He literally is only there to field the contractual number of players in the team. He doesnt even get involved enough to concede bad fouls like colback used to

Lets play 'spot the hendrick' the most difficult game of all

Shelvey actaully tracking back in attempt to save his mate/bosses job

two players avaialble to score passes behind them
