Armchair Pundit Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I hate the pundits blowing smoke up Bruce's arse - he inherited a well drilled team from Rafa, continued with his tactics as much as he could and was able to add a couple of signings with money that Fat Boy refused to give up for the previous manager. Okay, I'll give him the credit that he's been able to sustain the motivation for a large part of the squad, how much he's been able to rely on teams around him being worse or the work done before him paying dividends I have to wonder. Of course... I'm just Rafa biased though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordie john Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Disgusting clueless beast. As I posted in the match thread he fucked the first half, but second half did everything right imo.

For doing exactly what? for the tactical change at the start of the second half that got us back in the game, saw us winning the ball higher up the pitch, got ASM on the ball more who created a gilt edged chance for gayle who fucked it should have been 1-1 then who knows it's kind of sad that +30 games into the season i felt compelled to write what i did because it's honestly the first time i can remember bruce making a clear tactical change that improved things for us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paully Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Gayle's chance would have been over-ruled by VAR for a foul anyway! Still no stick for this numpty's tactics I see! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Gayle's chance would have been over-ruled by VAR for a foul anyway! Still no stick for this numpty's tactics I see! Rafa would've been publically hung, drawn and quartered by the 'expert' ex-pro's in the media if he's served up that first half yesterday. Good Ole Stevie though cannot be expected to 'have a go' and he's done as well as can be expected with what he's got. Poor fella. Deserves his chance. Nice man.

mrmojorisin75 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 it's directly related to bruce but i'm taken aback at the shite level of analysis at HT from all of them on BBC like, amounted to: Q: what can newcastle do?
