Never shown any affinity towards Newcastle until it helped him get a better job. Nice guy Steve is a total wanker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I don't know everyone else, but our squad's pretty bad. Even our defenders were just made to look brilliant because of Rafa's organisation, and we got rid of our 2 best attackers. No doubt the manager is shite, but the squad isn't far behind. You might be right, but I have a feeling a good manager would make a lot of these same players look a bit better. You said it yourself Rafa's organisation made a massive difference. The likes of Sheffield and Brighton don't have good players, they just have someone who is getting more out of them than Bruce will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I agree with that like, he's jumped up a division to manage the biggest club he's ever managed through pure opportunism. He might have thought his birthplace might offset the toxicity but honestly I think that's where it begins and ends re his connection to the area.

He's like a lot of players who end up at a big club, their new career tends to make them more invested in their new club if they make it. I have no doubt Bruce probably grew up a Newcastle fan, but when he became a champion for Man U, that probably became his main club. Wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't the same for Bryan Robson or Carrick either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's certainly not his 'dream job' for the reasons he or the media are spinning anyway. As you say, it's more about the sheer luck of getting the opportunity to manage in the Premier League again. It's a dream cos he was never getting back here on merit, as demonstrated at Villa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimburst Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 He just can't be a fan, he talks with no knowledge of our history and no sentiment for our fans, it's been evident from the first moments he was here. I have to assume he's played up his connection to the club because it's in his family history and the biggest job he'll ever get. Rafa seemed to get the club more than Bruce does ffs.

geordiedean Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I know I’ve been banging on, but does this not piss anyone else off? https://twitter.com/newcastlefanstv/status/1178360172311396352?s=21 Just seems one big joke and day out to them. That should have been fucking toxic, instead they’re singing and dancing. I know people should be able to have a laugh but this isn’t the time. It’s a fake defiance, ‘Look at us, we still support the lads, look how loyal we are’. Needs to stop. When the missus says she's stopping at her parents tonight. This sums up how pathetic our braindead fans are fucking laughing and dancing at us after we are being drubbed and fucking humiliated. This pisses me off so fucking much how conditioned our sheep have become contrast this to 25 years ago fans being pissed off and confronting Keegan after Andy Cole was sold Our fans are nothing short of a fucking embarrassment now and wuite frankly its fucking shameful that these clowns have paid good hard earned money and think its funny watching us get absolutely gubbed all while singing whos that team we call united Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor could i sing 'We'll support you evermore' with any conviction when i was by now doubting i would support them ever more. It'll always be my club but i'm feeling nothing but apathy for it currently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Our CM is absolute dire, it's amazing we did as well as we did the last 2 seasons considering it's championship standard. Was thinking this the other day. Also the utter insistence of playing Hayden and Shelvey, who retain the ball much worse than Longstaff and KI do. It's no wonder we concede possession so much with Shelvey hitting it long and Hayden running down blind alleys. At least when Diame played he would bulldozer players better than him. Christ we are shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Our CM is absolute dire, it's amazing we did as well as we did the last 2 seasons considering it's championship standard. Rafa certainly made Hayden and Longstaff look fantastic compared to what they are producing now. I don't know whether it's Bruce confusing them as to their roles, or Rafa was just playing a formation which made them look much better than they really are.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 As well as the actual CM, the work done by Perez was immense. And to a lesser extent Richie and the RB. All of whom have changed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Our CM is absolute dire, it's amazing we did as well as we did the last 2 seasons considering it's championship standard. That's where a good coach comes into play. Under Rafa he made them play it simple, the creative stuff came from the front 3, and even Lejeune & Schar. This season you see Hayden trying to get further forward which isn't his game...similar to Pardew trying to turn Tiote into Essien. A half decent manager not just top class managers would surely see that you just get those two to play it safe. Of course they'll still have limitations but if you set the team up to their strengths, they can still succeed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
