Mike Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 It's kind of like when Trump got elected. From time to time I'd just stop short like "Holy shit that guy is President." Fucking Steve Bruce is our manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 He's talking about lack of goals and pinning it on playing with a back 5 under Rafa. The insinuation being that he wants to transition to a back 4 with a more attacking style leading to more goals. Why can't he just do it now? He's moaning about having 6 centre backs in the squad, but you don't have to play all of them. He wants time, but his problem is that Graham Potter and other managers have managed to transition to a different style very effectively when they take over. He had everything going for him with all the players loving his jokes and craic. Unfortunately seems like he can talk for England, but has no real idea how to turn that into results.

toon25 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. Prediction anyways (an obvious one) Kevin Nolan will be appointed once he does get the sack. Chris Houghton Hughton would do a vastly better job of getting a tune out of this squad.

Tiresias Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 George Caulkin was talking about Rafa not really enjoying how we played either but felt he had no choice with the resources at hand. Bruce is absolutely entitled to try a more attacking set up, but actually do it if you can rather than blame the previous guy, maybe it's possible. It's pretty clear he isn't up to it tbh. That display against Brighton, where he tries to turn the last 5 minutes basically as a positive... The mad pressure at the end of games where a homeside is desperately trying to score and both sides are too tired to defend properly is not a tactical blueprint for a full 90mins...

"I've got a great job until a Saturday or Sunday..." that's like working in retain and saying I love my job, i just cannot work with customers, being a doctor is great, just don't ask me to see none of those pesky patients and it's the best job in the world.

TBG Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Hold on. I thought Bruce wasn't a puppet and had final say on signings? So what's he doing complaining about having 6 centre backs when he had the final say on it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what's he doing complaining about having 6 centre backs when he had the final say on it? He's just a fat former player getting a job on the back of winning the title with Man Utd. The bookies have him as one of the favourites to get relegated. Would be nice to see that actually analysed by the professional journalists and tv pundits. Unfortunately quite a few of those don't have much better qualifications. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I particularly like this quote from him: “I agree with the policy. I agree with it because it’s everybody’s policy. There’s not many that want to spend big, big money on a 29-year-old,” So £16 million is big, big money now is it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Aye because the only point of contention regarding the entire transfer policy is the fact we don't spend big on 29+s. All very Pardew, this. Hire a bloke who is unbelievably grateful for the job and get him to lower expectations with his small-minded shite and dreadful football.

I sort of agree tbh, I would be delighted if we got £10m for Gayle, and that's purely down to his age. The real problem is we should have spent that £16m on hiring a proper manager.
