Disco Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 No, not too mention two years watching a system and still getting beat comprehensively by it, at home. Bit embarrassing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanSkÃrare Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Had a look in WyScout, one of the most well-renowned and used statistical tools among clubs. Our "expected points" is 16.9, we're 19th in that table with only Aston Villa behind us on 16.4. It's the impression put into numbers: We've picked up results without playing well, had Dubravka save us again and again, and it speaks volumes. Bruce has very little to do with us doing well, and we aren't doing very well at all, we're just picking up results that we generally don't deserve.

Bruce has very little to do with us doing well, and we aren't doing very well at all, we're just picking up results that we generally don't deserve. Which is exactly what happened with Pardew in the 5th season. Some of us were saying then that it's unsustainable, that the football was shite and we couldn't keep riding our luck. It'll come back and bite us in the arse, you can't have a team relying on their fucking defenders to score the goals and expect to be able to hold that up over the long term.

Bruce has very little to do with us doing well, and we aren't doing very well at all, we're just picking up results that we generally don't deserve. Yep, we've been lucky as fuck. We've faced teams severely depleted (Man Utd), other teams that just didn't bother turning up (Spurs, West Ham) and fluked a couple of 1-0s that should have gone the other way (and even the 2-0 at Sheffield United according to some, I haven't even seen highlights so can't say for myself). We've not been fucked by refereeing decisions either for the first season in god knows how long. If the perfect storm keeps up, this form can continue. Otherwise there could be a huge drop off, especially if injuries/tiredness hits at the same time as our luck turns. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easily could have been 5-0 after 60 mins. Spurs was a really good performance, we've shown strong character to come from behind and pick up 8 points against Watford, Bournemouth, City, and Southampton. If we were just "lucky" no chance we'd be on 25 points after 18 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sheffield result and performance if Rafa was in charge would have been hailed as a masterclass, you didn’t watch it .Yep he’s had all the luck eh?

Gallowgate End Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I doubt Bruce be still be god on Twitter after the next 8 games. Man Utd Everton Leicester Wolves Chelsea Everton Norwich Arsenal 4/5 losses in the next 8 at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 We're basically a smash and grab team under Bruce. We were under Rafa as well tbf, but there was always the impression that he was trying to refine us and gradually get us playing more fluid football. With Bruce you get the feeling there's nothing else, he's just going to ride the wave of Rafa's defensive organisation for as long as he can. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
