samptime29 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 It's annoying how much Bruce gets sucked off by the media compared to Rafa like. If the articles were reasonable - "he's doing okay, it's not terrible" then fair enough. But it's "he much better than Rafa" "more attacking football than Rafa" FFS So stupid.

Joey Linton Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Shearer was at it last night like with the whole ‘better off than this time last year’ crap. It's not crap though. At this point we are better off than last year. Whether it lasts is up for debate / probably unlikely, but at the minute it's a fact. That doesn't mean Bruce is a better manager, just that we are doing better at present. This not been bumped yet? Again it may not last but there can't be any argument he's doing well at the minute.

La Parka Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Strangle the side of jobbers with no creativity and smash them on the break/long ball. Worked great. Especially the second half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 "Well, wuh got wuh backsides kicked in the first half, that's for sure. Wuh managed to roll up wuh sleeves and batten down the hatches cos wuh come under some pressure. But, wuh stood up to all they had to throw at wuh and took wuh chances."

Mr Logic Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 I can't be arsed to go and look through 500 pages of an old Pardew thread but I'm pretty sure it must have looked like this one in places. I can't even work out who's on the wind up and who is serious anymore. I'm going to assume most realise we are sticking to Rafa's system, we're just not doing it quite so well nor can we can adjust during games the way Rafa would/might have.

I don't think anybody is elated by having Steve Bruce as manager - some are just not opposed to giving him credit when his team does a good job. Not sure why everything has to be at the extreme ends of the spectrum at all times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
