Joey Linton Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 The defence vs attack stuff is hilarious when you break it down. We're scoring about a goal a game, but shipping loads. His thoughts are that there's a balance to find, but if we score less than our current one a game to hopefully stop conceding at a rate of three a game we still aren't winning those games, because we won't have scored.

Paully Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Quotes ín full from .com - he's walked away from about six clubs - lying wanker! Steve Bruce spoke to the media via Zoom on Thursday: On the "Brucie out" chants: "Look, it's always difficult. I would be sick if I said I quite enjoyed it. It's difficult. "The frustration is, like any other Premier League club or any other Football League club, if you don't get results then ultimately the manager, head coach, whatever I am, bears the brunt. "That's what it is. so I have to accept that results haven't been good enough. "What the disappointment was we played very well at a difficult place last week - as difficult as it was going to get. We played very well and didn't get anything out of the game, which was the frustration. "It’s not all about me. I’m here to only do what I think is best for the club – and that is manage it as best I can and keep us moving along. "It’s for other people to answer that (questions about his future). I will continue to do my best. I’m never going to walk away from the challenge of it, that’s for sure. You’re asking the wrong person.” Asked whether he would consider his position if the abuse he received became detrimental to the team: "Well then you start looking at yourself, of course but knowing the way I am, it’s not in my nature to walk away from something when we’re in a fight. ‘Oh it’s too difficult so I’m going to walk away’, that doesn’t really register with me.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paully Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 However, asked about his situation as he prepared his team for Friday night's league clash with Leeds, a defiant Bruce said: 'My family think I'm a bit sick because I never really think about those things when you're up against it. Look, it's a challenge at the minute. I've said now since I walked through the door two years ago, I'm not going to be everybody's cup of tea, but I will, with my experience, hope that I can keep the club just ticking along and make sure that the club stays where it is and we maintain our Premier League status.“ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 (edited) he's the most repetitive man I think I've ever encountered. Take out your general common words (the, and, we, I etc.) and then nouns you'd expect to hear (Newcastle, football, club, players, match etc) and I reckon you could probably nail down about 50% of his key syntax across his time here. In fact, I'm pretty sure I can do it here below: Walked through the door, not everyone's cup of tea, that's for sure, dust ourselves down, roll up our sleeves, keep moving forwards, look, ticking over, get a few results, well you know, difficult, difficult, difficult, difficult, difficult, batten down the hatches, backsides kicked, difficult again, disrespect, mass hysteria, the kid's done OK, difficult again, when everyone's fit and healthy, what with COVID, supporters entitled to their opinion, not walking away, accumulation of points, difficult difficult.

Bishops Finger Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 18 minutes ago, Lazarus said: All hes doing is ruining his reputation by staying. Who's gonna employ him after this? He's probably wanting to retire anyway. Just fleece as much money as he can from his boyhood club first. Just proves how much he cares about this club. I'd bet he's never supported this club. Always been a glory supporter. Bet he'll have his Manure box paid for by us when he does decide to call it a day I mean why, when you've got 20 odd million in your bank account you don't want to enjoy it. The bloke has been steeling a living since he hung up his boots. 20 years of management and played under one of the best managers the premier league will ever see and he's fucking clueless. And we're stuck with him. I haven't got an ounce of respect for the bloke. Didn't like him before he got the job and now I despise the prick.

Mattoon Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Talking about finding a balance, bragging about goals scored and bemoaning goals conceded, didn't he say at the beginning of the season that it was Jones' responsibility for attack and his for the defence? So basically he's saying Jones is doing his job right but Bruce isn't, classic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbthree3 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 There's no correlation between pressing intensity and results but it's telling that the teams you'd expect to be more passive (PPDA defines style and not a lot more tbh) are in our cluster. In fact our pressing intensity has always been around the 18 mark since he came in, it was 13 both seasons before he arrived. Negativity breeds negativity... expect that Leeds figure to surge tomorrow from their average as they had a PPDA of 4.21 and 5.31 against us last season. Meaning we have around 4, 5 passes of the ball before they make a defensive action like a press or tackle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
