Ben Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Bruce is deluded if he thinks he can save our season, he needs saving from himself, Ashley has been here twice before, surely he sees the signs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manxst Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Anyone think Southgate would be a good six month appointment? Looking unlikely that the Euros will be on, would look good on his CV for after England etc etc? Would he do it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Defensively. 200 saves made combined between Elliot, Darlow & Dubravka in 76 games before Bruce. 207 saves made combined between Darlow & Dubravka in 55 games under Bruce. 95 goals conceded in 76 games pre-Bruce (7th best in the league) 84 goals conceded in 55 games under Bruce (worst of the 17 teams who’ve been in the league the same time). 295 shots on target faced in 76 games before Bruce. 291 shots on target faced in 55 games under Bruce. Attacking. 997 shots in total in 76 games before Bruce (13.1 per game). 549 shots in total in 55 games under Bruce (less than 10 shots per game). And some people were claiming Rafa was negative and Bruce likes to play attacking, front-foot football when all those facts points to the opposite. Even our passing stats (which was second lowest in the league under Benitez only ahead of Burnley) has got even worse. Benitez : 27,518 (362.1 per game) Bruce: 18,962 (344.7 per game) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I bet all those clowns who used to constantly compare Bruce to Rafa, trying to say there was no difference between the two, are feeling rather foolish these days. I would mock them but they all seem to have disappeared. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 IMO Sheffield United will definitely go down, their keeper is a joke and the strikers are horrendous with the rest of the team championship plodders and they have just walked all over Bruce's Newcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NG32 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Ashley will gamble with Bruce until the end of the season, he'll gamble that we are slightly less shitter than some other teams over a 38 game season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

huss9 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 omg!!!!!!!! he now claims to not only have invented the "false number 10" but he apparently played two of them last night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Steve Bruce explains tactics at Sheff United and 'two false no 10s' plan that backfired Newcastle United suffered the ignominy of being the first team to lose to Sheff United this season Steve Bruce has explained his thinking on tactics during the dire 1-0 defeat at Sheffield United. The Magpies were beaten by the bottom side in the Premier League and barely laid a glove on the Blades on an awful night for the club at Bramall Lane. Bruce named five at the back but the word before the game was that a front three was supposed to probe the struggling Yorkshire club. When asked about tactics, Bruce said: "Too defensive in the approach? "Well we have played the same sort of way and I have changed the personnel at the top end of the pitch to try to give us something a little bit different because we haven't scored enough or created enough. "That was my thinking, playing Ryan Fraser and Sean Longstaff as two false number 10s instead of Miguel Almiron and Big Joe. "Of course, because of the games we've had I tried to pick a team with a certain freshness. "I wanted to see if something different would work. "In hindsight what I needed was to get in at half-time to change things around but unfortunately the red card put pay to that." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
