Danh1 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Who would have thought a man who openly said that he doesn’t believe in tactics would be so inept? What a useless, fat fucking idiot he is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Does he have any idea why we didn't "take care of the ball"? Are the players just careless and give it away because they don't rate it so much? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Wait, so is he saying the second half was difficult, so they just packed it in and thought sod it we'll just sit back? Did he instruct them to do this then? What is going on at this club man? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Brewcie’s boys look every inch the team to be relegated and not come back up. Packing out the defence and absolutely no fucking clue how to move the ball forward. Thick as pig shit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Now he's cribbing our defence and our shape from Rafa what has Bruce actually offered to the team? If he's just about improving and working with players which players have actually improved? Matty Longstaff may be only thing he can claim and even that is dubious...

Tiresias Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 At least McClaren was trying to impose a style on us, it didn't work at all but at least there was something, not sure we'd be any different if we just didn't have a manager and told our players to remember what Rafa told the team to do Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Bruce makes any input it's usually bizarre like the one man midfield we ended up finishing the game with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Rafa never blamed the players because he knew it was his responsibility to prepare them. This guy is just passing the buck to excuse his ineptitude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 So fucking depressing that, in an era where we actually won the Championship, we expect Bruce - a man who left one of the biggest clubs in that division in 16th place - to take us forward in the Premier League. Just how, on God's green Earth, can any fan take us seriously? How can you support this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 It's becoming clear that he's not so much a manager as a walking void where a manager should be. He does not improve players, he offers no tactical plans of his own, his inputs in game are indecisive and basically random. Of course he won't take responsibility for our performances, he has not done anything. He's such an absence of presence he can't even lose the dressing room, they probably don't even notice he's there, just some faint smell of boiled cabbage and white noise.

hakka Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Pressure is on. Rafa went in to his 3 wins on the spin at this point last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakka Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Look how fucking steep things get from match game 22 onward under Rafa. He really beasts the latter end of the season. Bruce will probably stumble up to that point not far behind, but then get totally left behind for the rest of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GideonShandy Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 It'll be sort of a relief when the Bruce/Ashley fanboys can no longer roll out the fatuous line that "We're doing better than at this stage last season under Rafa." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE27 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 It'll be sort of a relief when the Bruce/Ashley fanboys can no longer roll out the fatuous line that "We're doing better than at this stage last season under Rafa." You better believe them excuses will mutate into some other inane reason to big Bruce up/put Rafa down. Why can't people not just look at what's actually happening right now without resorting to comparison's? Like, is this version of Newcastle really something they're happy with and are they really worthy of support? Seems harsh on the players but something's got to give! We can't just keep burying our heads and accepting such mediocrity because you know, Leeds and Portsmouth blah blah Steve's a good lad from Wallsend. It's fucking rotten to its core and I'm sick of having to shelve my support because of one man and his fuckwittery. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Well he copies the Rafa formation but that’s as far as the likeness goes. We’ll get turned over away from home a fair bit. At home we seem defensively sound, was surprised when I heard the stat that we’ve got the best defensive home record in the division but unless he changes the way the front 3 play, he’s not going to get the goals to stay up. There’s going to be a lot of 0-0s, 1-1s and 1-0s to either side at home if he doesn’t. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
