Infinitely Content Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Let’s not forget last season we won 1 game out of 12 against the top 6. There’s not a lot to suggest the superior tactics of Rafa would have got us the win there. I’m willing to be patient with the new lads, Joelinton & Almiron will need time to work together, and something has to be worked out between Shelvey & Longstaff, as Longstaff was unrecognisable from last year, whereas Shelvey was integral. So if we’re playing 3, it will need to be organised/defined a bit better. Ah, the old 'nothing the poster said is inherently wrong and I have no points to counter anything said so I'll just insert a smiley'... classic, classic.

KaKa Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Kaka’s usual pretend chirpy post match Wumming doesn’t work anymore when nobody gives a fuck on how the game panned out. You need a new tactic fella. Not everyone is as miserable about life as you are. I won't apologise for that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty__mag Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 We need to just fucking write off this Ritchie as a fullback shit, its painful. It seems to be the only reason we opt for a back 5 so he gets selected. Just go with the liverpool and man city model of 433. I'd love to see a front three of Gucci Joelinton and Miggy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if there's nothing to suggest he would have 'got the win', there's plenty to suggest we wouldn't have went down the route Brucey took and basically wipe out any chance we had of getting something Steve Bruce's first sub in the PL as NUFC manager literally ruined anything we had going in the first half. A lovely sign of things to come. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

huss9 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Never mind the actual team, the fat cunt couldn't even sort out a basic subs bench. Admitted he left a fully fit Ki out of the squad to name an extra centre half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Isn't it more that Rafa's setup would have at least given us a chance to gain points? With Bruce, it's absolutely comically predictable. How can something be predictable when it's not preceded by anything though? After 18 games if the same mistakes that cost us today are happening, then yes, predictable, but after the first game? I'm not sure that makes much sense. Fwiw there was some promising signs in the first half today in our play and a few players in particular caught the eye. I'll choose to not plummet into abject misery just yet.

Yorkie Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I know I compared Joelinton to Rondon earlier, but when you're looking at today's game in isolation, any comparisons to previous people means nowt.

The shape after 55 minutes was terrible, we lacked any organisation as soon as Shelvey went off. Wasn't great. First half we had some spells where we were the better team however.

Wullie Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Benitez has always been an exceptional cup manager and he employed almost cup-like tactics with regards which games he really focused on. His record has to be viewed in that context, he was more than happy not to expend too much energy in the games against the better sides, just don't get pasted and focus more on games that were more winnable. Wasn't a particular enjoyable strategy but in hindsight, you can't deny it was effective. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
