Infinitely Content Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 You genuinely need your head checked if you're praising Bruce for that result. Great tactical nous telling Dubs to go out there and have a worldie. Nah man I think there's more to it that to give him credit. We rightly respected them as the better side this season - and banked on the fact they wouldn't be able to break us down due to them only really having one style of play. It was a good away performance and the manager and especially the players deserve credit where it's due. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Linton Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Well, got to say maybe I was wrong about keeping the fat spanish waiter. Good to see old british patriot Bruce leading the line. Let's get brexit done! This stuff is funnier when the other lad does it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segun Oluwaniyi Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 If Rafa was in charge this would be a masterclass of a performance, HWTFL Nah, that's rubbish. Rafa never had us looking like this in the Championship and we are playing a team fresh out of the Championship today. Fork off man, this is killing most, we have been superb at a smash and grab and if this was last season we'd be fucking all over Rafa, folk just wont admit it. It's a great result, but the fact is it's been dire. We did not play this way under Rafa against this level of competition. It was really only against Man City and Liverpool for which we were criticised heavily by the same media now claiming we've defended so well. We practically have 11 men in our box against Sheffield United for goodness sake. Knock it off. Rafas teams weren't expansive till after xmas, get points on the board first get safe then shackles off.Same as this season,honestly the criticism is fucking hilarious, we are winning 2-0 away from home in the PL,not east in ANY match. Its pathetic to criticise it tonight I'm not tied to any result. I'm calling it as I see it. I would be sick paying to watch this every game. This is how we play every single game. It's awful. Rafas football was fucking shite anarl man,I loved him for the man he was not his football That's just not true man. Sorry. I mean you cannot say his football was shite and then praise this. It makes no sense because this is definitely infinitely worse. Bruce has removed the centrebacks that use the ball so well, and Longstaff is no longer what he was last year where he kept the ball on the ground and allowed us to play through the front three. Shelvey is now back in and playing long balls that continuously lose us possession. He's scoring which has been good currently, but the team does not function well at all. It's just bad. Bruce is directly mirroring Rafa's tactics, only with an inferior playing staff due to injuries at the back and typical NUFC transfer business taking away the best attackers. I don't understand why some people on here are twisting themselves ten different ways to find some way that things would be different or better under Rafa after two hard-fought results this week. This group has been moulded with a certain ingrained organization and mentality for some time now, which is why they are still in this league despite the deficiencies. Bruce's challenge will be to maintain what has been built and expand upon it going forward, working under the same nonsensical financial limitations as all previous managers under Ashley.

relámpago blanco Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Rafas team would have sat on the 1-0 and draw that game Exactly, once we took the lead we played a really expansive attacking game. We didn't sit deep and rely on luck to win at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 More I see that goal from Shelvey the more brilliant I think he took it. He is the only person on the pitch that knows it is onside but pretends he thinks he’s offside completely half arsed running on the ball as if he’s time wasting. Think that’s what got Henderson.

Bruce's challenge will be to maintain what has been built and expand upon it going forward, working under the same nonsensical financial limitations as all previous managers under Ashley. I disagree completely I'm afraid. Bringing the likes of Dummet and Shelvey back in is making things more difficult as far as using the ball. Almiron and ASM are now out and out wide men leaving any striker up there with absolutely no support centrally. It's not the same approach at all, and it's not all down to losing Perez and Rondon.

I don't think he knows it's onside. He just sticks it in the net knowing there's a chance VAR will look at it. His running always appears half-arsed.
