Minhosa Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 “We've got five points (from six games). We're one below par - that's the way I see it at the moment. It's been like that for the past couple of years, so we know what's expected and we'll try and get better.' 38 points is the lofty aim then. The hapless old dear seems to have forgotten his early season statement that he wasn't coming here to aim for 17th. Or that it's the best squad he's worked with or that he's looking to play expansive football. Jackanory, using Edwards and those tools at the local rag, to sell his stories. He's another Carver tbh.

TRon Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Errrrr Most of the replies in that feed seem to be able to pinpoint why it wasn't working much better than Bruce. You can't have a high press when there is a 40yd gap between the midfield and the forwards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I hope he reads this forum, the useless cunt. Doesn't sound like he could operate a device to read it on. https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2011/nov/30/steve-bruce-sunderland-sacked In many ways Bruce's decision to make the hot-headed, yellow card-prone Lee Cattermole his captain proved emblematic of a rather gung-ho reign during which players such as David Meyler were rushed back from serious injuries only to suffer further complications, the idea of hiring a sports psychologist was dismissed and the manager boasted about his inability to send an email. While Bruce – who did finally learn how to log on last summer when the club issued him with an iPad – may well argue this lack of computer literacy was hardly relevant, many of his peers spend countless hours checking out the latest sports science innovations, researching transfer targets and analysing Prozone statistics on their increasingly indispensable laptops.

Tsunami Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I’d like to know what position he had Willems playing in the first half; were we playing 4 at the back or 3? Dummett was pulling inside as though it was a 3 with wing backs. If that was the case I’ve no idea what Willems was playing at as Brighton had as much time and space as they wanted out wide and if we were a 4 with Willems pushed forward I’ve still no idea what he was doing. It took Bruce almost 40 minutes to try and get some messages onto the pitch when he should have been screaming instructions after 10 minutes as this particular debacle was right in front of him with Montoya running down the line unchallenged time after time with Willems no where near.

Gallowgate End Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Already hearing among parents at my son’s footy training/matches and among the lads at my footy tonight as well how at least Bruce has got ‘us’ attacking teams more than we did under Rafa and that the football is better... urgh, please tell me that’s not true man? People are idiots..nowt new. We’ve not scored more than 1 goal in a game yet in his first 7 games. Scored 2+ goals in 6 of our last 7 home games under Rafa Benitez. Bruce is making an attacking impression on us though Front page of The Chronicle today. “Bruce is ready to ditch his front-foot approach” -We’ve scored the least amount of goals in the Premier League. -And we’ve had the lowest xG(Expected goal chances created). -And we’ve had the lowest amount of possession. But we’ve been playing on the front foot under Bruce apparently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughesy Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I haven't really posted much here as I find the whole thing too depressing. Like many, Rafa was the only thing that was keeping me hanging on. However, over the summer, when it seemed Rafa was going, I almost convinced myself that I could carry on if we'd appointed a manager you could get behind and believe in. Although I've come to hate the word, I could have made my peace with a "progressive" manager. To be honest, appointing a management team like the Cowley brothers would have been enough to believe in a project and stay interested. But appointing Steve Bruce was just too much. I don't even hate the bloke and I don't even think he was that bad a manager in the early 2000s. But football's changed now and it's left the likes of Bruce behind. For the first time ever, I just don't care anymore. I'm from the South East so don't go to as many home matches as I used to, but usually try and make 3-4 home matches and all matches in the south east. I haven't been to a game yet this season and my dad asked me if I wanted to go to the Chelsea match. I can't quite bring myself to tell him I don't really care anymore and don't want to go. I fucking hate Mike Ashley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
