Collage Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Longstaff spent the majority of the first half sat 6 yards in front of the defenders. Is that where false 10's play? SB doesn’t have a clue what a false 10 is. Here’s a guy who’s gone out and said he doesn’t really do tactics and now he’s talking about false 10s? And using two of them as well? This is beyond a joke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamjk007 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I've never hated a Newcastle manager in my time but this guy drains the life out of me! His body language says it all, just f*Ck off Steve! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon No9 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Longstaff spent the majority of the first half sat 6 yards in front of the defenders. Is that where false 10's play? I don't know what his position was last night. For me it looked like a position that could be named "swinger", somwhere between an old fashioned sweeper and a winger. That's it, SOMEWHERE BETWEEN, right in the middle of nowhere! Bruce Out! Ashley out! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Longstaff was sat on top of our centre-halves - same as Hayden and the woeful Hendrick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His body language says it all, just f*Ck off Steve! I used to get the urge to put my foot through the screen whenever Pardew was interviewed, mostly towards the end of his reign here, but with Bruce it's on a different level of hate altogether. I hated him before he even arrived, I was devastated when he was appointed, and I hate him even more now. Just so frustrating that 99% of us knew exactly how it would all pan out yet the idiot who owns the club thought it would be a good idea to pay Sheff Wed £3m to get him here.

Holmesy Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I still can't get my head around this prick setting up defensively against the team with the joint lowest goals for tally in the league. The man is an idiot. He can try and convince us he was playing with two false 10s all he wants, but he blatantly set up to not concede against a team that can't hit a barn door. I don't even know what the words are to describe that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottishMagpie Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Been thinking about this quote. Obvious thing that jumps out is that the sending off was a death blow that no team can recover from, which of course is absolute bullshit. But it's more the first sentence..... I recall seeing another quote where he said the first half "wasn't good enough" or something to that effect.... my train of thought is a) why on nearly every game he says we needed to change things at half time, suggests to any sane person that he's getting it wrong from the start, repeatedly! but main point is: b) why does he think he needs to wait until half time to change things? Does he think this is a law written in the rule book? After 10 mins it was obvious it (whatever IT was) wasn't working.... change formation, make a sub, fuck, even just haul your captain over to the side lines and give him an earful of instructions to convey to the others. This shit stain on our club really boils my piss. Steve, for the sake of the club you supposedly support, please.... just please...... FUCK OFF!!!

marki Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I know bruce has to go, its only a matter of time.But looking at the table i think it will play out until the season ends unfortunately, unless of course there is a rapid change of club ownership.The next few games look daunting & but that buffer looks like saving his bacon for the time being.A point or 2 looks acheivable over the next 10 games or so,that might be enough oddly enough,then he can be released in the summer without the indignity of being publicly sacked .However if those teams in the bottom 3 can put a few results together the axe will fall no doubt about it.Its just so annoying we have to suffer his incompetence on a weekly basis,he would at least gain a little respect if he just quit,if he,s just hanging on for the pay off while repeatedly being patronisingly unbearable then he deserves all he gets.

St1pe Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 If he doesn’t resign and hangs on as long as he could for compensation it puts him in Pardew territory for me. He knows he’s done, he knows he’s lost the dressing room but he’s going to stick it out like that odious prick did. If he then hangs on long enough to get us relegated he’ll be the worst manager in our history. I’m genuinely worried the club haven’t acted this morning as there’s an obvious threat to our safety but an even more obvious threat to any potential takeover or the current deal that’s been offered.

JeffJ Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 False 10 ;D ;D It’s not even a thing so let’s have two of them. Longstaff playing 5 yards in front of a back 5? That’s a false 10. Fraser playing 5 yards in front of a full back? You better believe that’s a false 10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
