WBA 0-0 Newcastle United - 07/03/2021


Recommended Posts

Wont play an easier team again this season and still couldn't win.

Won't score a goal again until the injured players return.

 

We were lucky not to lose, never mind win.

 

Don't think it was luck, WBA obviously have no goal threat. A manager with some belief would have gone for a win.

We couldn't beat West Brom with a full week to prepare while they had only just played on Thursday. We are the absolute pits.

 

That full week consisted of two days off, one day fighting Matt Ritchie and one day fighting the press. That's how we prepare for important games, apparently.

I do think with ASM Wilson Miggy we would have smashed these. But Bruce has no excuse for putting out Hendrick and Gayle not starting as a striker.

 

Just sums up Bruce and the Steve’s talents. Without key players or talent they are totally helpless. They can’t force any playing style or approach on to a team, and have to rely on individual talent.

 

Look at the top coaches, or other sides - when their missing key players, aye their not the same side, but they don’t cave and change their whole approach.

 

He very much is a coward. He has no principles of play, or an approach that he’ll stand behind and have faith in other players coming in to play to. He’ll just change everything moment he hasn’t got ASM, Almiron to work it out for him.

 

Evidence is there, him always moaning on about missing key players. Head coach, he’s a fraud.

Tbh, I thought we were the better team, we could have won if we wanted to, but this cernt said get a draw.

 

 

Team selection proved it

 

It's West Brom, it's actually almost impossible to lose against them. Any manager with any sense of belief in his team would have gone for the win. Bruce will be euphoric with a point.

Emile Krafth is the worst full back we've ever had, bar none.

 

So, woefully inadequate. Wonder what moron scouted him.

 

Aye he's definitely up there. Just doesn't look capable of anything in any scenario. Terrible on the ball and gets outdone by the most mediocre winger.

He hasn’t got a clue has he. Way to build unity in the squad, ‘without ASM, Almiron and Wilson the rest of them are a bag of sheeet, what are you expecting me to do?’

 

How many times must have finished a match where he’s played Joe and ended up saying ‘lacked quality’, then proceeds to keep playing him.

What’s he actually said?

 

He said he's delighted. He actually said he's delighted... I think we're watching a man lose grasp on reality. It's kind of sad.

 

How does he keep getting away with this bullshit. You replaced an attacking midfielder with Hendrick. How is that not messing with the system?

We were the better team for about half an hour, then WBA were, very similar to the Wolves game.

You are right though, if we wanted it we could have won, the problem there is that neither Bruce nor the players wanted too.

As people have pointed out, if we focussed on running at them which causes them problems then we would have opened them up, instead we played into their hands by making the game scrappy.

To be fair the shape was the same, Hendrick came into the team where Shlevey was, Shelvey move to where Willock was, and Willock went to where Almiron was.

 

Shape was the same, but if you replace Almiron with Hendrick and shuffle a few positions, you've still replaced Almiron with a pile of shite, and of course it disrupts the system.

Willock played much deeper than Almiron ever has done. Fraser and Joe still in those split striker roles, but Willock was never higher up than them in a central position.

 

Totally missing that player high up starting the press and setting a tempo. We were totally aimless. Could have easily had Fraser in that role, he’s moved him there in games before - he has the energy and buzz to press like Almiron.

 

Bringing in Hendrick for Almiron totally corrupts the system. Should have been Murphy wide left, Fraser, Joe - Bruce bottled it.

 

Extra man in midfield, four in central area, but never created any use of them. Just tried bypassing them at every opportunity playing direct to Joe.

 

Too right that fat arsehole doesn’t do tactics. Clueless set up, makes no sense whatsoever
