Mole_Toonfan Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 This just reminds me of the Rondon abuse last summer. I know you guys want to see the team do badly, but the fact is some really talented attacking players have been added to a a sturdy defence and midfield that both really came on last season. Yeah but you're using logic, which isn't something which applies when Steve Bruce is the manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AY Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 To anyone spouting shite saying we’ve sold/lost our best attackers, well Rondon wasn’t ours, he didn’t want to sign on because Rafa left so that’s the end of that. Good luck to him. Ayoze is a more peculiar one, a quick read through his threads highlights that a majority on here thought he was dogshit for the majority of his time here, besides a little purple patch last season. And the truth of the matter is that he was. Nobody knows what version would have shown up in pre season. He obviously fancied a change. This lad Saint-Maximin could be brilliant, or a load of shit but let’s not write him off just yet. If certain people are just going to shit all over everything to do with nufc this year, can you lot just fuck off and do it quietly? Bunch of contrary wenches. Nobody is happy with Bruce being here but we’ve had worse and still supported the team. Ask yourself, were you that negative when Souness was manager? That said, while Souness was a terrible manager, he did have some standards. He wouldn't sign up to rubber stamp players he'd never heard of. Luque?

Shadow Puppets Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I’m all for protests (although my personal opinion is still that we should focus on Sports Direct and disrupting their day to day) and I’m fully behind the Ashley Out campaign. However, i’ll never understand the desire for new players to do badly or for the team to do badly. Just because you don’t like the owner / manager. It doesn’t make sense to me at all.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Never got behind Souness’ appointment, he was a disaster, but never wanted the Toon to lose, supported him while he was the manager and his only fault was he was shit. He had standards though, we were a top 6 club in ever sense even if we didn’t finish in such positions. That club is a million light years ahead of what exists today and Souness wipes the floor with Bruce as a manager. If he achieves the level of shitness Souness did here, he’d be winning the lottery as our manager Mind, I don’t hate Bruce either and thus far his only crime is he’s a shit manager too. He’s got 9 months to turn into a figure of hate and wishing death on like Pardew, that’s the standard not Souness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Looks like the type of player we’ll destroy in no time at all. Under Rafa we were tight and kept the ball reasonably well, we’re going to be surrendering possession all over the place if we play this lad, Joelinton and Miggy in the same team. Back to the days of conceding 4 goals on a fairly regular basis; our shape will be all over the place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon No9 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Trying to figure out how he and Miggy play in the same 11 3-4-3. In a front three with Joelinton. 3-4-3 worked last season and most of our players know that system. Also don't see the reason to have 3 central midfielders when we play 3 central defenders. I think you get more balance between defence and attack in a 3-4-3 than in a 3-5-2. 3-4-3 is the best way to play football at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Hayden at RWB is the only way I see it Hayden & Ritchie as inverted wing backs, like Guardiola did at Bayern. They come inside rather than overlap, with proper wingers ASM and Atsu (?). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toptoon Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Assuming we sign N’Soki and Maximin and Bruce sticks to his favoured 352 we could line up something like: Dubravka Shah. Lascelles Dummett Almiron Hayden Shelvey Longstaff N’Soki Maximin Joelinton Darlow # Clark # Lejuene * Fernandez # Yedlin * Sterry Manquillo # Ritchie * M longstaff # Ki Atsu * Murphy Aaron’s # Muto # Gayle * * Injured # on bench Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Rafa Benitez is the last we’ll see of 3-4-2-1 unfortunately Most likely to play his 3-5-2 he’ll rotate Saint-Maximin & Almiron to partner Joelinton. He might go 4-3-3 at some points in the season though(Played it at Villa) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate End Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I reckon we might see some fans anger under Bruce if he keeps leaving one of Joelinton, Saint Maximin, Almiron out for his 3-5-2. Our Twitter fans seem to think we’ll just be playing Rafa’s 3-4-2-1 next season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
