Arsenal could still be playing now from last night and wouldn't have scored.

 

Another 541 entrenchment, with any relative success in Bruce's podgy beady eyes defined by how many limbs and bodies Darlow and the centre backs can get in the way.

 

He's always struck me as being a petty arsehole when it comes to dropping players for making mistakes, especially defenders. So seeing as Clark and Fernandez have both ballsed up for Arsenal and Sheff to score from wouldn't suprise me if he makes changes at the back. Lascelles/Schar/Hayden sort of thing

 

There's bound to be a new and untried method of making us even shitter we haven't thought of, Joelinton holding midfield....

Wonder how playing "Bruces" way will go for him?

 

Don't expect to find out on Monday, changing tactics or formation at Newcastle is like altering the course of an oil tanker, it'll take us several months to complete the transition.

Hope he goes 4 4 fucking 2 and gets scuttled.

 

Wonder if we'll see a Gullit/Robinson or McClaren/Riviere suicide note on the teamsheet? Big Joe up front on his own.

He will 100% be going with 442. Can even see him chucking in a completely unfit ASM to try and save his bacon.

Palace showed last night you don't need a third centre back to defend against Arsenal. 

 

Might be giving Bruce a bit too much credit here, but don't think he trusts any of the midfielders off the ball (rightly so) and relies on having 5 at the back and sitting deep, so we don't get pummelled. His own limited grasp of coaching/doing tactics means his only answer to us not getting battered is 10 men in our own half all game.

 

The Hodge and Lewington at Palace are much better coaches than the Steves and can get a 442 that can defend, be functional and still work at getting players into attacking positions on the break.
