Guest neesy111 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Weird how it's only shit English cunts who use the term 'front-foot'. Isn't steve a loyal patriot? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Have we had more possession or shots than the opposition in any game this season? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 They average 33% possession and they've scored less than a goal a game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_69 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Front foot football. Ah, is that what it was?! Shame really, i was just starting to enjoy it. Limited English managers always resort to direct football that relies on long balls and set pieces. It's been written in the stars since we signed Bruce that we'd become a hoofing team, and the signing of Carroll confirmed it. Creating and scoring goals consistently (on the deck) takes good coaching, intelligence and innovation. Bruce, like Pulis, Allardyce, Hughes, Warnock and a raft of others don't have the brains or coaching skill to get the most out of a group of players from a footballing sense so we'll go 'back to basics', which in shit manager speak means pack the defence, stick a big man up top and try to focus on scoring from set pieces. At the very most it might mean sticking a winger on each side and telling them to get as many crosses in as possible. That is the limit. Unfortunately it has been proven to work from time to time and in Carroll we have one of the best target men in Europe (when he's fit). Ditching the 'front foot football' might actually see Bruce turn this around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBG Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Carroll isn't fit enough to start games though. Bruce will have to rely on us still being in the game with 10mins left to play if the plan is for Carroll to "nick" a win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collage Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Anyone with a braincell can see that. Unfortunately as has been said before, because he's a Geordie and he's "brought big Andy home" most fans will lap it up with the "he's one of us" shit. Yep. Ashley and Charnley have targeted another Pardew/McClaren type stooge, with the added bonus that he’s a Geordie and will be accepted by a significant part of our fan base (not on here obviously). Bruce is their ideal manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce will have to rely on us still being in the game with 10mins left to play if the plan is for Carroll to "nick" a win. Joelinton is big enough for us to start booting the ball up to in the meantime. He might even opt for an old school big man/little man partnership when Gayle is fit.

Consortium of one Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Front foot? When have we been on the front foot? Bruce is an absolute embarrassment. He is so far over his head it's ludicrous. An article in the Mag today destroys him and whatever offensive prowess he might possess. what is acceptable possession 10%, 5%? "We played hard today and performed admirably but we didn't take our chances. Twice we we lumped it up to Joe in the box but we couldn't get a shot away. On this day 0-0 was a good result!"

Ditching the 'front foot football' might actually see Bruce turn this around. He's already playing that tactic though as far as I can see. We don't average 33% stats without reason. If there's been any front foot attacking football, the rest of us must have missed it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 If Bruce abandons his attacking, expansive, front foot strategy 6 games into the season he'll leave me with no other choice than to cancel my already cancelled season ticket.

Shelveys Hair Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Iv missed the last few matches because of this cunt being in charge and I think I will jack it all together if the cabbage looking prick avoids relegation.
