Southampton 2-0 Newcastle United - 06/11/2020 - post match from pg18

[Disco]

Brice has absolutely no idea what to do against a press.

 

Brice, Brice, Baby

[duo]

We've no midfield

[Shearergol]

We're playing 5 across the middle and can't keep the ball against a 4-4-2. Pitiful stuff

 

 

 

Two of them are Hendrick and a very out of form Longstaff though. Traffic cones.

[Guest neesy111]

Hendrick was such a waste of money.

 

Even 0?

 

His wages could buy loads of paddling pools for the training ground.

 

True.

[54]

I know he fucked up for the goal, but Almiron makes such a difference to the transion from defence and attack.

[hakka]

One consistent thing from Bruce is the ability to make the team perform worse than the sum of it's talent. We rely on individual moments of brilliance during the third of the game where we finally have the ball, while hoping the opposition fail to score for the rest.

 

[Shearergol]

I need to stop going on about Longstaff but he’s pissing me off. Ambling around like a lazier Shelvey.

[Guest neesy111]

I know he fucked up for the goal, but Almiron makes such a difference to the transion from defence and attack.

 

He does, he's our best carrier of the ball up the field.

[duo]

Midfield just offering nothing - zero protection and no outlet going forward

[Aiston]

Disgraceful that Bruce hasn't played ASM for a few games now.

[toontownman]

Not sure who the commentator on my stream is, he is fucking clueless though. "Whatever the criticism you can't say Bruce hasn't done a good job" quite right to be fair, thought we would be down by now. he has exceeded the lowest of expectations, not probably his point though. He bettered himself "We know the longer Steve Bruce is at a club the stronger the team gets" Clearly, other than every other team he has ever managed. The majority of his clubs have a slight improvement in the first year and its fucking grimly downhill from there.

 

Between Trump and the Bruce love I give up on facts and reality being important.

[STM]

Playing well now.

[xLiaaamx]

ASM limps for about 15 minutes after every challenge. He's so frail.

[Unbelievable]

Well played tbf

[Guest neesy111]

Disgraceful that Bruce hasn't played ASM for a few games now.

 

Don't you mean out wide?

[Conjo]

Playing some decent football atm. Longstaff looks sharp.

[54]

That is class from Almiron.

[Shearergol]

Playing some decent football atm. Longstaff looks sharp.

 

What?

[toontownman]

Playing well now.

We generally start playing better once the obligatory conceded goal goes in. Can't just sit back and hope for the best after that.

[xLiaaamx]

Murphy and Schar draw them in with that 1-2 every time.

[Unbelievable]

Borderline sending off that

[Shearergol]

Borderline sending off that

 

Professional foul.

[Numbers]

Yea Bruce dropped Almiron because he loses the ball and costs us a goal every week, commentators are fucking thick.

[TRon]

We're playing 5 across the middle and can't keep the ball against a 4-4-2. Pitiful stuff

 

 

 

5 across the middle in Bruce language really just means 8 across the back.

[Conjo]

Playing some decent football atm. Longstaff looks sharp.

 

What?

 

Writing on phone so don't want to elaborate too much. Not saying hes played particularly well, but he seems a little sharper or more rapid than he's been ever since coming back from his injury. He hasn't run around with the Shola stroll today.
