Steve Brute

There's an article on The 'Bruceicle' website by Gabby Agbonlahor, stating how good a job he thinks Bruce has done at NUFC.

 

And yet the likes of Douglas suggest theres no pro-Bruce agenda from former Thomson House.

 

“Steve Bruce has done unbelievable this season at Newcastle," Agbonlahor told ChronicleLive on behalf of Bet O'Clock.

 

"When you go to a club who doesn’t have the best quality of players, are you going to play expansive football like Norwich City and effectively be down by Christmas?

 

"He has gone into Newcastle thinking that he needs to make them hard to beat, putting the three centre-backs in the team, and win games by beating sides on the counter-attack and it has worked for him so far.

 

"He has done really well with the team that he has got. If you look at his front three, he will be thinking how well he has done considering their lack of quality.

 

"Miguel Almiron, he can’t hit a barn door, Saint-Maximin acts like he is playing in a school playground, doing tricks in the wrong places and Joelinton has been dreadful. Steve Bruce has done a magnificent job.”

[emoji38] This feels slightly Orwellian.

Wait, Bruce has done a good job because 2 of the players he openly stated he was happy with are shit?

 

Is there another manager in the league who gets defended like this?

 

 

It's just incredible isn't it? How does he get away with it? When will journos start telling it as it is??

 

When hell freezes over.

I do think people underestimate how much of the coverage is down to Bruce being affable to journos for years and they all quite like him as a person. It's not easy to stick the knife in to a friend, it is unfortunately their job. What really bothers me is all the rewriting history to excuse Bruce, how continually it's mentioned how bad Rafa was when not so long ago they were all praising (rightly) Rafa's work to high heaven. As soon as it is inconvenient that Rafa got the team playing really well second half of last season that is forgotten and Brucie is trying to rebuild from a terrible manager, all because they want to share a pint with Bruce and hear stories of old from him now and then.

The press will only turn on Bruce, if we ever sit in the relegation zone. And then it's a big 'if'.

 

Will they fuck, they’ll blame Ashley before they blame Bruce. It will be the players’ fault, Rafa’s fault, fans’ fault, KK’s fault for making the deluded Jawdies have such high expectations of their wee club. Anyone but Bruce, who’s a good man, it’s his club, he’s on a hiding to nothing and can’t win.

What can you expect him to do when the players simply arent good enough.

 

Looking forward to that rhetoric being shoved down our faces. We have some decent players just pathetic coaching staff that tell everyone they arent good enough. Funny thing about constantly telling someone they arent good enough. They will start to believe it.

Newcastle one of the lowest in the league for goals scored - Bruce says team don't need striker.

 

All strikers injured. out of form or just not good enough - Bruce says team don't need striker.

 

He admits Joelinton is not a natural goal scorer - Does he still think the club couldn't find better than what he had at his disposal.

 

But remember he is not a puppet.

Something? Anything?

There aren’t any fans left to do that though. There’s just an audience there now, the fans sacked it all off when it was clear that Ashley is strangling the club and milking its assets.
