STM Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Managers like Potter set the the tone on their first day. He will have a set of training drills he does that are specifically to do with retaining possession. He will have also have layed out exactly how he wants his side to set up, in terms of formation and in terms of where to press the ball etc. That's what Bruce doesnt get, he thinks it's a switch you push from defence to attack, he thinks the most crucial part is team selection and motivation. He's an analogue manager living in a digital age, refusing to believe that football is any different to when he used to play, 442, get down the wings, real men, proper players. Ask Steve Bruce what identity his sides have? He just doesnt understand the question. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 absolutely right. playing the same formation every game rather changing/adapting to each team we face. we are not liverpool. and what is the obsession with "two up top". its like he wants a medal for it or something. its fine if one of the 2 is miggy or the like but not AC7.

huss9 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 What an absolute knackered man. Wonder how long he'll keep blaming Rafa for? at least the replies on that feed are calling him out on his bullshit, even if the journalists aren't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearergol Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Literally a whole season and he cant change the team? with new platers? and a whole season?

It's bad enough having Shelvey who is half a midfielder playing but most sides have 3. That makes it 1 and half vs 3 central midfield players. At worst you must bring Miggy/Joelinton in behind Wilson to drop back and help out the midfield. You cannot, in any circumstances play a straight 442 in this league. You will get overwhelmed by worse sides with smarter tactics. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Literally a whole season and he cant change the team? with new platers? and a whole season? He's gonna be blaming rafa ten years from now. We’re talking about a guy who had Grealish & Abraham at his disposal in The Championship two years ago and left them mid-table. Dean Smith didn’t seem to have any trouble sorting them out and getting them up and out of that league sorting out Bruce’s mess, he’s hardly Klopp either. (would be interesting to see Brummie’s views actually, I’m just looking at league table when he left and where they now, maybe Bruce was just unlucky but I doubt it) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Peak Pardew. COVID's fault. Bruce’s men have lost only one of the six games they have played so far this season ahead of Saturday’s home clash with Burnley, although his attempt to introduce a more attacking style has been met with only limited success. He said: “We all need time. It took a great manager like Jurgen a few years to get what you need. Every manager needs time, of course, because nowadays, you can’t just change it overnight. “With transfer windows and especially now with what’s gone on in the world, it’s very, very difficult. “Look, it’s still a work in progress – I know that sounds easy for me to say, but that’s what it is – and we are in the middle of change because I’m trying to change us from a team that plays with a back five and sitting deep into a more forward-thinking back four and playing from there.” Newcastle have managed only three shots on target in the league in as many games and, although all three have resulted in goals, that is a statistic upon which Bruce, who hopes to have Allan Saint-Maximin back from an ankle injury to face the Clarets, knows they must improve. He said: “I understand when you don’t play well or you don’t win, then of course there’s going to be criticism. “But sometimes you ask for it to be a bit more balanced than it is. You accept that you’re going to be criticised, of course, that’s the nature of the job, especially these days. Whether you’re the Newcastle manager or the Rochdale manager, that’s the way it is.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

huss9 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 again, it's just a positive that he knows he's getting stick. it would be more worrying if ignored social media and was completely oblivious.

Guest Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 He's an absolute Moron. Cracking under such mild criticism just encourages people to keep it up. Imagine what he’d have been like had he had the fanbase from around 2004-6 in the stands. Actually imagine what he’d be like just with people in the stands at the minute? He’s had the easiest ride of any manager we’ve had. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
