We should all buy dusters and get them sent to the training ground.

 

Shame there's no fans in the ground, we could wave yellow dusters like how Spanish fans wave white handkerchiefs to show they're pissed off.

Would surely get media attention, and be able to highlight the clichéd bullshit merchant Bruce is.

 

Bound to put Bruce at an awkward disposition in interviews, as he'd have to break a habit of a lifetime and try not to say 'dust off' as well as being on edge about the rest of his tired nonsense he's been saying for last 20 years.

"Rather than sitting deep and playing off a ‘low block’, it’s to try and get us higher up the pitch. Of course, that’s the difficult part and to win a game you’ve got to score goals. It gave us chances (at Arsenal) and we haven’t been able to take them. That’s the positive (to take from the 2-0 cup defeat) for me. We’re trying something different and it nearly paid dividends.”

He just hasn't got a clue. He's trying to complicate things coming out with rubbish like that to try to justify his (lack of any) tactics.

 

To get higher up the pitch you need to have possession of the football. If you rarely have the ball you are going to be defending and stuck in your own half more than anything else. It's hardly rocket science.

Yep, talking out of his arse. Common trait of absolutely shite managers: over-explaining some kind of alleged tactical choice. Competent ones tend to just let the actions speak for themselves.

 

We pressed higher in the last two games, cool, what an effort. I liked the bit where they passed it beyond our players rather than just around and in front of them. Worked a treat.

If he really is committed to playing in this revolutionary new way another massive hammering might not be too far off. Then back in our shells we go.

 

Exactly what I thought. Every time he thinks he's got us playing further up the pitch, we get a hammering and off he goes crying about Rafa again :lol:.

 

I think this is exactly what those of who want him out need tbh. Him thinking he knows how to change the way we play.

The high press is very difficult to execute and sustain, especially physically.  You need exceptional midfielders and be very well organised. We have none of these things so if we try to play with a high line, at some point we'll be ripped to pieces

I’m not defending SB or anything :lol: but is he not just talking about the higher pressing, thus winning the ball higher up the pitch?

I think he means instead of it going back to our keeper from the oppositions 18yard box someone will have a speculative punt in the forward direction

If you constantly give the opposition 65% possession of the ball you can guarantee that you will lose more games than you win.  We ALWAYS give the opposition at least that amount of possession.  What do you not understand Steve?

"Response" or "Reaction"

 

Same broken record with this bastard. 

 

Would love to do a count on how many times he's used one of those words in post match pressers since he became manager.

 

Surely if you're looking for a reaction from your players every other week (and that's being generous) then does that not start some sort of alarm bells ringing as to why that is?  Some small bit of self reflection and all that?

Was crying about being held responsible for the Brentford defeat after the game going off the Chronicle piece this morning.

 

"You're going to hold it against me, I know you are."

 

It's quite amusing how, ever since he said "you have to except the criticism, which is fully justified," all he's done is not accept the criticism. Almost as if he's a disingenuous arsehole.

I only ever read the quotes as I can’t bear his accent but it’s all so consistently woe is me, uninspiring and downbeat all of the time. Our style of play, if you can call it that, mirrors him perfectly.

As if Lejeune’s Newcastle future could be in the hands of Shola f***ing Ameobi.

 

f***ing hell the kid, he’s about 28 or something isn’t he ?

 

Not to mention if his comeback had been managed by Benitez and his coaching staff, he’d more than likely be a mainstay of the current defence.

 

Lose tomorrow and he’s on the brink in my opinion.

Bingo!

 

It doesn't show "how good the premier league is" is shows how fucking useless our manager is that a completely despondent, rock bottom team who've struggled to buy a win all season seem like some massively insurmountable challenge to Dusty Bin.
