Manchester Utd 4-1 Newcastle Utd

[Bimpy474]

Wonder if bruce will muse in his postmatch that perhaps he stuck with Rafa's system a little too long.

 

He can't. He's using his system today.

 

Not up top he's not, gone with Gayle and Joelinton with Almiron in behind them.

 

That's his Hull formation.

 

Ah sorry misread 

 

While a good system helps, doesn't matter what you use if you're going to chuck to pathetic goals in mind.

[Guest neesy111]

We’re s**** and have lucked into about 13 points this season so far.

[Gallowgate End]

Joelinton asking for Rashford’s shirt at half time now we know what he came to Newcastle for

[nemtizz]

Mad what happens when a team actually takes their chances, huh.

[samptime29]

Had 2 great chances, scored 1.

 

2 mistakes and 2 goals really fucked it.

[David Edgar]

Look how poor the basic stats are

[Segun Oluwaniyi]

Mistakes kill the confidence of marginally talented teams like Newcastle. The performance level of every single player has dropped after the errors from Dubravka and Schar. I do not believe there is one particular tactical issue that is the root cause.

True, same reason Man Utd suddenly looked brilliant.

[Big Geordie]

Gone to pieces since they levelled. Not good enough.

 

In saying that, Mancs should be down to 10men.

I call Bruce more than anyone but no manager can compensate for shocking errors like the first two goals. Up to then Man Utd had not done anything and we were controlling the game pretty well

They were bad errors aye I was just thinking about how he's going to try and spin the overall performance.

The Schar error happened because we were forced back into our third with the ball.  That happened because we don't have a clear system for possession or outlet.  That's the system.

 

Then we are being overrun in midfield and out wide.  That's the system.

 

[The Prophet]

For what it's worth, this is nothing new, we have been riding our luck all season.

[joeyt]

Joelinton's been decent

[Gallowgate End]

“Team shape is what Bruce prides himself on”

 

The bloke wouldn’t know how to setup his dinner table without copying his wife.

[Mattoon]

Stevie Brewcies Black & White pacifists! Trying to change formation again, stamping his image on this team good and proper

[Yorkie]

We've gifted them two. They aren't even having to play well to open us up, we're absolutely all over the shop. I love Schar, but he's having an absolute nightmare.

 

He's had the occasional rick in him since he joined. But he was brought here to be half defender-half playmaker in a team which could actually construct meaningful plays from the back. Under Bruce he's just a defender whose backs are to the wall all the time. Stuff like this is why you see players regress rather than improve under shite managers who don't believe in tactics.

[Infinitely Content]

Issue is the midfield, absolutely nothing there.

 

All on Bruce.

 

Many people will have been happy to see the two Longstaff’s in the team. The fact they’ve not been good enough here is not Bruce’s fault ffs. Always convenient blaming Bruce, often not smart.

Nah, it is both that and the formation.

What can he do with mistakes like that. Let’s see second half if he can get them motivated again as after the second goal they were all over the place.

[St1pe]

Hope we come out and and look solid and try and press the issue a bit. I hope this isn’t one of those where we’re on the end of a total hammering.

[toon25]

The fat knacker in charge has no fucking clue how to get the best out of a squad with glaring weaknesses. There’s no long term plan, and no vision aside from relying on home form to get to 40 points.

[Guest neesy111]

The lack of possession after their 1st was absolutely lower league stuff.  No wonder why they tried to play out of the back when they see the ball coming back at them.

Considering neither have played well since the last time we played them of course it's his fault. System is awful, too.

That McTominay is a dirty fecker
