He's very good but he isn't a real team player. He sets them back but is too good to drop. They need a less quality but more tactically astute midfielder.

Guest ttfn Posted 17 October 2021 Share Posted 17 October 2021 (edited) Is it just me who think Steve Bruce is given a totally unnecessarily hard time by Newcastle fans? His record over his 2 completed seasons is the same as under Benitez (44 points in first season, 45 in second). Even the terrible start they’ve had this season is no worse than the one they had in 2018/19 under Benitez. He’s definitely got friends in the media who talk him up to be a decent mid table manager when his record would suggest otherwise and I’m sure that’s frustrating for Newcastle fans when their team produce the sort of rubbish they have over the last 3 or 4 years. But it strikes me that he’s a top-end Championship manager managing a bottom six Premier League squad. The disparity between where Newcastle are and who the manager is is nowhere near as big as they would have you believe. By Premier League standards he’s crap and the players are crap. That they play crap football and get crap results is not all Bruce’s fault. The rare occasions that they do something other than play poorly there is absolutely no credit for Bruce. In the last 2 years whenever they’ve been on a good run of form it’s always been somebody else apparently driving it: the fans, the players, Graeme Jones, luck or just riding on Benitez’s coat tails. The narrative about Newcastle fans “demanding success” is massively overblown but they don’t help themselves sometimes.

Legend_in_blue Posted 17 October 2021 Share Posted 17 October 2021 The Newcastle shirt is terrible. From the front it looks as though everyone is playing as the number 4. I can't see past that. Terrible! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's noticeable that clubs can put the sponsor's logo onto a plain background, but not the players' names and numbers (I'm also pointing at you, West Brom).

Popular Post Pliskin Posted 17 October 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 17 October 2021 Utterly embarrassing behaviour from the Newcastle fans. I know we’ve been guilty (some fans) of doing the same sometimes when the managers are struggling. But the crowd chanting “you’re getting sacked in the morning” to their own manager, after he kept a pretty bang average group of players up despite a lack of funding. Disgraceful. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure what to make of Bruce . He put up with Fat Ashley controlling every transfer decision at the club- among others they wouldn’t pay a loan fee for Hamza but signed Joelinton for £40 million on Ashley’s say so even though he’ll never be a premiership footballer as long as he’s got a hole in his ****.
