LV Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 He's fucking brilliant at telling us what things aren't, but can never say what they are. It's similar to his regular routine of saying "I'm not making excuses but..." and then making a metric fucktonne of excuses. So why are we shit? Are the players not good enough? Say it! As for being patient, you've been in charge for over a year you fucking seeping vat of beef tallow. Fucking do something. :lol: Seeping vat of beef tallow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Absolute cretin Again this is bollocks. The man's a liar. With him as manager, the performance is almost always s***. Can only think of a handful of exceptions where the football has been somewhat watchable. Occasional decent results have been masking dreadful performances for his entire tenure. Totally right, we're getting undeserved results and that's been consistent during his tenure. It gives the impression we're doing better than we are (the stats nerds: xPts we were on 31 or something last year, competing with only Norwich for bottom place according to that) and feeds into the narrative that Bruce is doing a fantastic job. After all, on face value we've drawn against Tottenham, we beat Chelsea, Man United, drawn to Man City. All these results, doing great yeah? We've been outperformed consistently by teams we should be competing with, Brighton in particular, and the few instances we do perform we can't keep it consistent. Other fans don't have to watch us every week, so their impression is often misinformed based on what they see, they see results. They don't see performances. And while it lasts, I'm all for lady luck giving us undeserved points. But when the luck runs out, we'll be facing a lot more than just an agenda-driven media People remember the performances against top clubs [because they actually watch those] more than the Tuesday nights in Stoke.

Scotty66 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Forget the spat with Keane, listening to Klopp is like being on another planet to Bruce. I know he's one of the top managers in the World but fuck me, Bruce will never ever ever begin to comprehend these kind of tactics. Bruce just shrugs his shoulders, licks his lips and gives it the old "we go again next week, the boys are ready" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Yeah, saw that after the game yesterday. Was pretty depressing tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordie john Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Let me think.......Do I prefer the wisdom of Klopp - probably the best manager in the world right now, or a has been ex pro with a shocking managerial record (Both Keane and Bwucie) Durrr, it's a tough call.

Guest Cheesy Beans Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I can't think of a single game where we played well but still lost The Leicester game last season in the cup, maybe? But that’s being generous with the term ‘played well’. Plus it was also a draw, technically. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Two people that should never have been anywhere near management, but because they were captains got carried away by their own hype. It's all well and good leading by example on the pitch, being the general prepared to die for the cause, in the heat of battle. But that becomes tiresome in the day to day.

huss9 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 so despite over 12 months in the job, £100m net spend, over half of rafa's team replaced (joelinton, lewis, fraser, hendrick, ASM, Carrol, Wilson)... the cunt is still inferring that its rafa's fault.

huss9 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 makes me happy that he at least reads the social media criticism though. he'd be even more insufferable if he avoided it all and thought he was doing a great job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hhtoon Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 ‘Not haf as sloppy ass zat time you vanked off zat hund, eh Roy meine freunde, eh?’ Sorry, but meine is the feminine or plural version.

Paully Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 But Bruce is not concerned, and believes the problems in terms of creativity had set in long before he arrived.

huss9 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 again, the media (especially locally) need to call him him out on this shit. remind him of our stats during the last games of rafa's reign. the amount of money (NET) he has spent and the fact he's been here 12 months and gotten half a new team in. it cant just be left to all us "keyboard warriors".

Shearergol Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I'm actually hoping he bins every player Rafa brought in and then still uses that excuse. Unfortunately he decided that a few of them were good enough for longer contracts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
