Yorkie Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 The figures and the general rotation policy is pretty similar. So the disparity in injuries is either purely about luck or the players are generally less fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Yeah, imagine it’s a few things. Worse coaches, analysts etc. Players less motivated to play on. Bringing people back early out of desperation. Maybe a bit of bad luck as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Less rotation of attacking players. Last season Rondon was the 6th most used player in Rafas squad with 270 minutes played. This season under Bruce Joelinton (344 mins) was 4th most used player and Almiron (333 mins) 5th. If ASM hadn't already been injured, he would have been in the christmas period now.

Conjo Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Bruce out. He has no business being a PL manager and certainly not here. Says it all when he is the best that Ashelys NUFC can get. Let him stay and give the match going fans what they want and what Ashley deserves. Even better, keep the "promotion specialist" on in the championship and see how Ashley reacts when instant promotion fails for the first time.

Nah, continue to question why he's acting the cunt. He's quick with the whole "Well, well, I thought Bruce was shit" line whenever we scrape a win. People need to challenge these arseholes on their flawed rhetroric. Greg is making a good fist of it on Twitter atm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribesman Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 For the majority of the time getting injuries to your players is down to luck, but for some of these injuries its down to poor squad management from Bruce. Schar, Saint Maximim, Manquillo, Willems and Lejeune they were asked to play 90 mins or multiple games in succession without any rotation or rest. I mean what was the point of buying Kraft if he can't even fill in during the Christmas period. Bruce could have switched to a back 4 and moved Hayden into defence for one match, played the Longstaff brothers more and even introduced a couple academy players to the bench. He is an experienced Premier League manager, Bruce should know rotation is required even if the quality is not there. He said himself last summer he thought Newcastle had an excellent transfer window then when the team started badly, he changed his mind that he doesn't have the quality to play his type of football. After the Crystal Palace match, he said he was happy with his squad again, but when results turned and injuries increased he says he doesn't have the strength in depth to cope with injuries. That in itself has been the problem with Bruce and what Newcastle have lost in Benitez. He is not proactive enough, doesn't think long term for anything and never plans ahead just as long as things look comfortable for him points wise he is happy to let things carry on as they are.

TRon Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 The irony in using "context is irrelevant" in a sarcastic manner to defend Bruce He's stuck with defending him now, which is unfortunate for him, because any sort of reputation he had as a football journalist has gone down the toilet. Only an imbecile or a bent sycophant would have tried to pass Bruce off as a decent manager. I'm actually impressed by how stunningly bad he is. You can't really appreciate it until you see it up close. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
