Hatem Ben Arfa (now retired?)


Recommended Posts

Bruce is massively underrated as a manager. I'm interested to see how Mark Hughes progresses at Stoke, given I still think he has done more good jobs (blackburn, Wales, Fulham) than bad.

 

Nah, he is no better then Pardew.

 

We are now that low Steve Bruce has become massively underrated.  :facepalm:

 

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

he is considerably better than pardew tbh

 

Nah, not for me.  Another shitter kicker who packs a midfeild out and plays a defensive game.  His teams always start off well then thunder down the league aftert Christmas.  You can see it with every team he has been at in the prem.  He barely ever makes the top 10 with his teams and his football is fucking shit.

i'm not saying he's top class, but he's much better than pardew at all of the basics of football management

Pardew went to hull last season, headbutted a player and got sent off. Still guided his side past a well set up bruce side.  I also seem to rememmber playing allsorts of players out of pisition during his sunderland days.  he was fcking sacked by sunderland for being utter shit.  we are at an all time low.  we really are.

I wasn't a fan but think he's doing good stuff with Hull so fair play to him.

 

Same really, I never rated him but he's growing (:boomboom:) into the role all the time IMO. Quite tactically flexible as well, doesn't seem to be wedded to any particular style or formation.

He is the fat-headed embodiment of bog standard British management. And he drags his shit son around with him. Hull is about right for him.

 

He's one of the best managers in the Premier League tbh. It's a shame Hull didn't progress in Europe this year because part of me can still see Bruce here one day, and it would be good if he had European experience by that point. As a manager he's done well wherever he has been, apart from the Mackems, which was obviously an horrendous appointment.

 

They didn't progress in Europe because he completely forfeited the competition. An attitude I'm sure would not be welcomed here.

Yeah I'm not getting this Bruce love. He's better than pardew, which is no endorsement at all. He's still s***.

 

:thup:

Precisely. It's like having to choose between finding a lump in your ballsack or seeing blood in your sh*t. Talk about lowered expectations.

Considering I'd be happy to take a manager that's worse than Pardew, just to oust the prick, I'd happily take one that's the same, if not better (which imo he is)

they've been managing almost the exact same amount of time now btw, since 1998/99

 

there's always the possibility bruce is getting better as he gets older, we know this is categorically not the case for pardew

 

i reiterate, bruce isn't a great manager or anything but he's far better at the basics of the game than pardew and we're in a situation where the basics of the game elude us week after week

They tried to do what we did and played a weakened team but failed while we just barely scraped through thanks to a referee.

 

Let's not forget (ignore) that they went 2-0 up in the FA Cup final last season.

Tried and failed miserably against Belgian giants Lokeren.

 

There's no doubt he's doing a good job at Hull like and I don't mind him as a person, but he didn't succeed when he reached the heady heights of Sunderland and not once in his 10+ years of management (pre-Ben Arfa) has anyone looked forward to seeing a Steve Bruce team play.

Ignore everything I said then.
