toon25 Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 His favourites becoming clear now: Dummett and Shelvey Wuh Pawl should be nowhere near the side if Schaar/Lejeune are fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nattfare Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Is it Bruce who sounds like an angry alcoholic during matches? I think it is him at least. Quite the contrast to how he sounds in interviews. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 We were relying on Joselu, Muto, Kenedy, Atsu a lot more, Ritchie higher up the pitch, Rondon returning to fitness and Ayoze playing shite first 10-12 games of last season. We’ve added £75m to the front three since then, two of who are rapid and look better on the eye...plus Willems on the left rather than Dummett. Give Rafa the same resources and I’m sure we’d look even better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Linton Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 He's doing a decent enough job overall so far, some good stuff, some rubbish. Certainly not the disastrous start everyone (including me) was anticipating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Very Pardewesque, unsustainable results when you're relying on your defenders for goals, higher up in the league than your goals for and GD dictates.

nemtizz Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 So he’s finding the football easier on eye when compared with Rafa’s worst spell at the club. Quite the hot take. Bit weird when the front 3 have scored 1 goal between them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Bailey Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Very Pardewesque, unsustainable results when you're relying on your defenders for goals, higher up in the league than your goals for and GD dictates. Reminds me very much of the 5th season when so many teams just didn't perform and we fluked our way to Europe. Very good call. Looking like a flukey finish this season for the new Messiah and SD Utd. Accidentally caught 5 mins of this today on BT sports, but had to turn off as I felt dirty and soiled viewing it. Glad to see those SportsDirect Utd fans enjoying this brief spell of joy though. Good on 'em. True sooper fans every man Jack of them. Sure they will enjoy the next few seasons of up and down, and up and down with their wonderful owner raking in the cash,pissing himself laughing at them., whilst they sit there in their replica shirts getting away from those awful wives and girlfriends. truly 'The loyalest football supporters, the world has ever seen.'

It’s not remotely the same. We had far better players in most of the positions with Ba and Cisse on absolute fire with Ben Arfa and Cabaye doing their stuff; there’s no argument that we fluked some results that season. Pardew was an absolute clown benefitting from moments of absolute genius getting us points. By and large we’ve deserved the points we’ve got so far this season. As much as I don’t rate Bruce, Pardew was a complete different level of a fraud. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce would have taken us down because he’s shit, McClaren would have us pottering about lower mid-table since the defensive stability was all set for him.

Guest Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 They’ve had similar level careers, McClaren probably better (winning a cup, getting to a European Final, winning a European top division, international manager...)

Reminds me very much of the 5th season when so many teams just didn't perform and we fluked our way to Europe. Sorry but thats horseshit. There was no fluke in 2012. The football was good and to try and claim otherwise now is revisionist crap. What came after was bad, but we played good football that year and the 433 was about more than individual players. I remember us beating Villa on Cisse's debut with Obertan Guthrie Perch Jonas as the midfield and still carrying a threat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It becomes a fluke when followed up by an inability to repeat even close to the same feat again, going on to consistently ‘achieve’ the complete opposite in fact. If that doesn’t demonstrate a fluke, then you can always take a look at Pardew’s full CV. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember us beating Villa on Cisse's debut with Obertan Guthrie Perch Jonas as the midfield and still carrying a threat. We were difficult to beat and with Ba 1st half of the seaon and Cisse 2nd half every chance seemed to result in a goal. The 4-3-3 only lasted for 10 matches or so until....Wigan? We got spanked at least, and Pardew went straight back to basics 4-4-2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those clowns basking in Geordie team mania may still Get bitten On the Arse yet Definitely being overlooked. If we had won one more match we'd be in 7th, but if we had lost one more match this season we'd be in 17th with a terrible GD. It's not as pretty as it all looks.

What reasons would you give for Bruce being better? McClaren W8, D8, L18, Bruce W4, D4, L6. McClaren was struggling at Derby, had already turned us down, had bombed his previous 2 or 3 jobs yet we still appointed him. We were a shambles under him, some of the performances were mind blowing. It will turn for Bruce but for now he’s actually exceeding expected results. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
