Guest Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 @Steve Bruce Almighty I think you have a very good chance of getting a draw here. If you defend like you can we will find it very hard to break you down. My prediction is 0.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows what reaction we'll see from the players. Bruce is being asked questions like has he lost the dressing room, will he resign and if he was a fan would he pay to watch this shite. Similar can be said of you, will we see a reaction from your lot to the Palace draw. I don't know what to expect. Similar to when we player Leicester, the scoreline could genuinely be anything apart form a thumping Newcastle win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean Newcastle fans loved Benitez and Newcastle were only 1 point worse of last season than the season before. I dont think you can say one manager is great and the other is terrible when there is only one point in it. However the football has been terrible I agree. This is why I think it will he 0.0. Out of interest would you rather finish abit lower down the league but play better football? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of interest would you rather finish abit lower down the league but play better football? It's not about playing better football. It's about hope. Visible signs of progress. Of meaning. Better football is simply a side effect because this football is simply hopeless. Benitez had a bad first half of his last season. Worse position than anything under Bruce, results as bad as McClaren probably. We were in games but unable to win them. The 2nd half of the season however we were a top 7 side on results and on performances. The football was good. Rafa put us right. We ended the season away at Fulham, 7000 Newcastle fans, blistering heat, 4-0 win, could have been 10. We were ready for the top half challenge. We were buzzing. Along came Bruce, shithousing results. No vision. No pattern of play. No style. Just naff. Just nothing. All complaints his previous clubs fans have had. Riding his luck. Its a hard hard watch. It's purgatory. We want to watch something with a purpose. A direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honey Honey 3,767 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 If we don't win a game this month I don't see how Bruce will survive. The bottom clubs will catch up with us in 5 games. Every game until Bruce gets a win is massive now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaaay AFC 357 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 This has all the makings to be an absolute bore. Arteta trying to best Bruce's deep block will be terrible. Not expecting a lot from this one, hopefully we can scrape a win at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honey Honey 3,767 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 We are bound to win this. Pardew style. A few select pre match quotes from Bruce to inspire confidence "I made a career out of being bang average but worked hard and maybe that's in management too where I'm not blessed with this, that and the other." "We were absolutely frigging hopeless the other night; we were absolutely shite. Unfortunately that’s happened a little too often in my 18 months here" "The gloves are off now.

He has regularly blamed Rafa for the last 2 years and claims the players are stuck in Rafa's way. Whenever we go back 5 and lose or play crap he blames Rafa for corrupting our defenders minds. After all Rafa played a back 5 for 4 months of his 3 years and Bruce is only half way through his 2nd season. It will take a few more years for us to be able to mount an attack, replacing all of the attacking players isn't working, it must be Lascelles fault. The gloves are off now, should be a 3-2 win for us tonight as a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can't simply be done by formation alone. Bruce famously doesn't do tactics, his own admission. He does formation and team selection. That is his interpretation of management and it is why in this day and age his teams have no pattern of play, no definition, no plan. I genuinely think we could play well and win tonight. By total chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honey Honey 3,767 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 As expected gloves are off. Old fashioned 442. Carroll and Wilson upfront. Bruce putting everything on the line for the notion that he's been pegged back for 18 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully expect you to be down after 15, pick yourselves up then be back down again after 35 then the final knockout blow will come in the 49th... Basically you will spend the entire time against the ropes.... you will keep looking over at Bruce but he will refuse to throw the towel in..

Lucas 3,827 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 To be fair, Carroll actually looked really dangerous in the Cup game the other week against Arsenal. Not quite sure how he didn't actually score in that game but pairing him with Wilson is a good move I think. And you'd expect Wilson to benefit from it too. We have them in a week's time so I'll be an interested bystander. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
