Collage Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Miggy is up for it like. As much as ASM is a joy to watch, Almiron is way more productive. They're opposites in a way, ASM is tricky as hell, Miggy direct as hell Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Good result, played well. Really like Wilson, style reminds me of a cross between Ba/Remy/Beckford. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 No was fine, if we must have bruce ball that wasn't terrible. there is a ceiling to what can be achieved but would be silly to moan. Wilson looks the kind of poacher we've lacked for a while (tho obvs very soon to judge) and just were total pain to play against with carrol trying to give them all head injuries and our midfield harrassing a lot.

Tsunami Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Wasn’t hoof ball either, there are times where it’s needed but it wasn’t the first option. What a joy to have someone like Wilson up front. Will be interesting how we line up at home, we could actually look exciting if Bruce goes for it.

Happinesstan Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Haven't seen any of the match but it sounds like there is plenty to the give the pundits an excuse to wax lyrical about Bruce. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Good performance. Quality second half from Hendricks. Fuck off judging him on 30 minutes by the way, that is just utter stupidity. You're spot on?? That pissed me off when I entered the thread earlier to see "Hendricks" can't even spell his name, is shit. Hendrick worked hard, and looked good, he's not really a winger imo, but did well under pressure on his debut. I think some will be pissed he kept Almiron out of the side tbf.

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Yay. We won. We played 442 and pumped it long to a big number 9 for 80 minutes, but, yay. Cant wait for more. Come on, we didn't just do that. We did go direct at times but that's just nonsense. There was an awful lot more than I'd like to be fucking seeing. Because if we rely so much on that as a tactic, we're relying on playing with Andy Carroll. We dont have another player that can fill that roll. That's what I'm most concerned about. Not really an inspiring thought going forward. Maybe it's the first game and that's what we had ready. Maybe we're working on more and there's different things to come. But if he's going with this tactic all season, it's a little worrying. We had some good performances from players and it was good to see effort and some quality from individuals. But the setup is at best average. There's so much more that could be done with those players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bimpy474 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Aye it's Bruce, players bought by our arsehole owner and not new owners, we all wish that was different and hope it does soon. But if we play well, we can tell the truth....to find fault in today's performance overall is ridiculous. We played well, we won well, the new players we all excellent, as was Shelvey and Carroll. The two centre backs were solid, Manq continues to improve. For once after the shittiest time, I'm going to enjoy it for once. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 We seem to have quite a nice balance. we can get it quickly to the front two, or we can move it about in midfield, and [once Dubs returns] we're relatively solid at the back I'm at a loss as to how Bruce can fuck it up.

KaKa Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Yay. We won. We played 442 and pumped it long to a big number 9 for 80 minutes, but, yay. Cant wait for more. It certainly boggles the mind to see so many people who've spent the last couple of months screaming that they're done with NUFC forever, get back on board after a fairly turgid away win against relegation fodder. It wasn't aimless hoof ball at all, and it wasn't a turgid performance. I get it though. You're doubling down because you're annoyed the team did well. No need though. There'll be worse days then you can have your fill then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Not easy on the eye, but we deserved the win. Of the three newcomers, Wilson looked good. Lewis looked a bit raw but showed promise. Hendrick showed a bit more confidence in the second half, but basically looked very awkward on the ball. A fit looking Andy Carroll is a big bonus. He did really well.

Amir_9 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 There are some right moody twats on here like, trying to stop others enjoyment ffs. Why even watch it if you're not a least somewhat entertained? Edgelords man. Every thread, every game "Why am I watching this? / Wish I felt something" on and on and on and on. Obviously would rather we had somebody that is far more proven than Stevie Bacon or an owner other than Ashley, but credit where credit is due when its due.

xLiaaamx Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 I still want Almiron back at number 10 but I feel we might have seen the last of him there. Let's fucking smash Blackburn on tuesday Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trying to give Bruce any kind of tactical acumen, but maybe we set up this way as we were away, and it was West Ham, we might set different against others...time will tell i guess.
