toontownman Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Pulled the wool over Longstaff's eyes. “It was great,” said Longstaff. “They said to us ‘you’ve got a free role, just go and do what you want’. I really enjoyed it. I was able to drift a bit and do what I wanted. What he didn't notice is Bruce said the exact same to every other fucker in a black and white shirt. https://www.shieldsgazette.com/sport/football/newcastle-united/sean-longstaff-reveals-what-he-was-told-about-tactical-change-newcastle-united-1555780 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Richie de Laet “It is a massive club but I never got going at Villa,” he says. “The injury was a terrible time, then I couldn’t get into the side. Steve Bruce wasn’t my cup of tea. The football was similar to Tony Pulis but at least Tony had a plan. I remember Steve would throw the ball into the middle in training and say, ‘Let’s play’, like we were under-nines. It was crazy.” The man gets paid millions man It's really quite disgusting. It's so obvious from watching us play too. We have no idea what we're doing. All just a bunch of criminals. Shocking stuff. A seriously depressing quote. Really bad Just imagine how little the guy cares man. He played at a top club in Man Utd, and under a phenomenal manager. Imagine all the potential contacts he has throughout the world of football. He's in a fortunate position in that he has managed to establish himself as a manager in the game, and so all he really needs to do is just have young coaches under him that are really into the technical part of the game that he can lean on to really get his teams playing. There'd be so many willing to with the contacts he could tap into. Ferguson as good as he was always had really good coaches from the continent working with him such as Meulensteen and Quieroz. Bruce has no regard or respect for the club. Just happy to have the profile and collect the cheque that comes with being a premier league manager, while sucking up to the media so that they don't criticise him. Saw a tweet earlier today that we have the worst possession in all of Europe ... I mean, can you even imagine. I think you're mistaken that he doesn't care, he seems over sensitive to criticism if anything. I just don't think he has any real idea what to do, and that quote more or less sums it up. Of all the 'managers' we've had here, he reminds me most of John Carver. A local coach who thinks he has won the lottery by landing such a huge job. I was thinking of mentioning Glenn Roeder, but he did come across as quite intelligent so don't think that comparison fits as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 I thought Roeder did alright considering he had to salvage Souness' destruction in his first year then was given nowhere near enough players in the second. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjohnson Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Roeder was always out of his depth. All he did was take the players Souness had and put them in the right places. The second he became permanent and had to think for himself it was obvious he couldn't handle it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Roeder played nice football for me, but he had a weak personality and the players walked all over him once they figured he was a soft touch. Don't think it will be that much different with Bruce in his second season, the main difference being the football is infitely worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mofo Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 But seriously that quote is fucked. 3m quid for that you could get a man off the street for 100k a year to do the same thing. I’ve always had this theory that the pardew Bruce type manager could essentially be replaced by an intelligent management software. They basically just pick the team. You could program something to do that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBG Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 But BANTER This. You can put a price on Premier League standard training ground facilities. What you can't put a price on usually two to three weeks out with a muscle injury is the players happiness following a Bruce training session. That's priceless.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 I watched Cramlington under 9s play the mackem under 8s tonight, and the football those kids played was light years ahead of the shit Bruce’s team plays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paully Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I see some of the local journos are bemoaning this clown's bad luck with only having Joelinton available up top for the sixth match in a row It must be great being PFM and having the journos loving your "bantz"!

Paully Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 “Front-foot, expansive attacking football” https://theathletic.com/1599277/2020/02/14/newcastle-why-no-penalties-premier-league/?source=shared-article Not only have Newcastle made the fewest passes in the top flight this season, they have also made the fewest in the opposition half (4,332) and delivered the fewest balls into the box with just 540. According to WhoScored.com, Newcastle also average the least “action” in the final third, with just 22 per cent of their possession coming at the opposite end of the pitch. Most sides average between 26 and 31 per cent. Considering Newcastle also have the lowest average possession in general, at just 34.3 per cent, and little more than a fifth of that is enjoyed in the final third, it highlights just how infrequently they are in offensive positions.
