ToonArmy1892 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 If he doesn't get a win next week or against Watford, it's already game over imo, they won't be out of the bottom 3 all season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 The way he rolls over and let's the press tickle his belly. Hate him, Pardew was an out and out cunt and knew it. Bruce pretends to be a good guy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 It was the sheer panic 60 minutes into the first game when all the players had no idea what they were supposed to be doing and we were frantically piling on wingers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 As a clueless fan I often thought Richie would make quite a good CM, but obviously there’s a reason that a professional manager has never tried it. He charges around like a dog chasing a balloon, he'd be a two yellow carder waiting to happen. Aye, he’d be a Jack Colback in there. Worse i reckon, and that would take so doing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything’s easier when you have a line to run up and down. Very true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Thought we were all over at the back at times there. The goal obviously being an example of that. Managed to take Rafas defensive solidity away almost immediately. Subs were shocking as well, neither he or the players knew where they were meant to be.

Kanj Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 To be fair, the minute Rafa left our defensive unit from last season was gone. Evidenced by how often it fell apart in second half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 To be fair, the minute Rafa left our defensive unit from last season was gone. Evidenced by how often it fell apart in second half. Our midfield is really easy to play through, Rondon and Perez winning the ball high up was absolutely key. I didn’t see the game today but we desperately need a manager who makes the team more than the sum of its parts, and that’s by getting them hyper-organised and hard to play against. Otherwise they’re in real danger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 We played 3 in central midfield, once Shelvey went not one sat in there. Not that Shelvey should do it but one of the three has to sit in the centre circle and stay there, a defensive midfielder who does just that job.

It all fell to pieces in the second half when Bruce gutted the system after Jonjo came off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Joelinton would score goals if he was supported by Perez and Almiron, teams will find it easy to defend against our current formation, snuff out Almiron and tie our wingbacks up with their own wingers and its game over.

Guest chopey Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Rafa had us playing like a professional football team and actually making Ashley money in the transfer market.

Nah, think they have to do far less than that. Can see Newcastle finish anywhere from 17th and downwards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 We are the worst team I've seen this weekend, it looks like we need to play in a 4 3 3 with our current crop to score goals, but that would mean carrying the front 3 and give them no defensive duties at all ..................however its 2019 and those days are gone.

I hear you. I’ll rank the three promoted sides as Norwich, Villa and Sheff Utd. The first two did well despite the results. However I think Norwich and Sheff Utd will go down with Newcastle.

RS Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Still can’t get my head around what I’ve witnessed today. The difference between Rafa and Bruce man! I can only liken it to sitting in a helicopter ready to take you to pick up your lottery cheque and Maverick hops out the pilots seat to be replaced by Barry Chuckle.
