The same bloke wouldn’t be happy if Bruce was managing Everton though

Same with the commentators on the live stream. It’s almost like none of them have actually watched our matches.

Am I right in saying we’re just 3 points better off than last season now?

 

 

I wonder where all the so called experts who were shouting off their gobs off about the "points at the same stage of the season" are hiding ?

the usually reliable george caulkin seems to have ruffled a few feathers on his twitter by stating that bruce isn't the problem at nufc...

 

Steve Bruce isn’t the problem at #NUFC. Each game, each result is portrayed as a referendum on his management and another week goes by, ignoring the bigger picture ... that the club is built to fail and that’s exactly what’s happening. Nobody can be surprised by that, surely?
 
i think as a stand alone statement it's fair enough, we all know ashley is the biggest cunt, however bruce is far from deserving of much defence, if you willingly play with fire george, there's a reasonable chance you'll get burned.

Bruce is utterly complicit just by dint of taking the job itself. There’s no secret to what Ashley stands for. He’s floundering after a run of astonishingly fortunate results. Bruce is disloyal and useless. He gets jobs because of his affable Geordie persona, he genuinely appears to be popular in English football circles including and importantly sections of the media. His record tells its own story though, yesterday was the 300th game he’s lost as a manager.

Bruce is the symptom rather than the cause. He isn’t doing a particularly bad job by his own standards, it’s just that those standards are ridiculously low.

Considering the shit Rafa left him and joelinton was bought before his arrival it's a miracle we have the points we've got.

So is this the point where, as it becomes increasingly clear that Bruce is not actually doing as well as Rafa, those who malign the latter start finding a new route to apportion blame away from Bruce (since the "he has more points than Rafa did" argument appears to be a bust). We're therefore left with "Rafa left him a shit bunch of players".

 

Bruce is an absolute waste of space. That's not his fault, most of humanity are in that boat with him - but let's not pretend that he's in any way comparable to Rafa Benitez.

The worst for me was away to Villa. His match talk must have been to blame because no footballer wants to defend against attack for the first 45 minutes. It was dreadful and clear as day that the Managers pre-match talk was to blame.  I had no excuses for him that game and all I have now is that he is getting the best out the Premierships best keeper.  If it was a school report then Brucie "must do better" Must do better should not involve encouraging Linton to always be working back, the young lads head is battered thinking he is Alan Hansen.

It certainly is! 

Given that nearly half the starting 11 were not here under Rafa, and given that some of the others were not playing regularly either, I wonder if the lucky results earlier in the season, which in the main came from incredibly hard work in defensive terms, something which was coached into them by Rafa, and the downturn in standards now, could be related to the coaching perhaps in the intervening period?

I wonder :scratchchin:

Newcastle United, and chickens coming home to roost
This is Newcastle United’s reality: misery as standard that is occasionally alleviated – temporarily – by a run of half-decent results or victory against a better team achieved in spite of all logic or laws of averages.

That bigger picture tragedy isn’t on Steve Bruce; he is merely one thread in a pitiful show. I don’t believe that he is good enough for this job, and his CV didn’t merit the appointment, but then he is only a symptom of Mike Ashley’s managed decline. Ashley has starved a wonderful club of all ambition and nothing will change until he leaves.

Even so, Bruce could – should – be doing more with the tools at his disposal. The last couple of months have seen his chicken coming home to roost. Newcastle’s results had always outweighed their performances, and now the results have caught up. No team has had fewer shots. No team has a worse expected goals total. No team has had fewer touches in the opposition box. No team has scored fewer goals. It’s now six points from their last ten games.

On Saturday they faced a Crystal Palace team that has had far less money spent on the squad and was in chronically bad form. Newcastle allowed them to have 16 shots and had only two on target of their own. This was Palace’s first win since Boxing Day.

It’s almost impossible to work out what Bruce’s plan is, other than hoping three clubs remain worse than his own. They don’t attack with any cohesion, rely upon defenders scoring their goals and have ruined a £40m centre forward. Joelinton excelled in Germany surrounded by other attackers. Bruce described him as having everything a striker needs to be successful, left him entirely isolated for six months and then insisted he wasn’t a natural goalscorer. It’s a how-to guide for failing to get the best out of an expensive signing.

Apathy is growing in Newcastle. The club had to give away 10,000 half-season tickets to ensure that the stadium remained full on matchdays. Supporters are sick and tired of having the piss taken out of them and are sick and tired of the constant cycle of takeover soap operas that coincide with transfer windows or season-ticket renewal dates.

It would be beyond many managers to succeed in an environment as toxic as that. But Bruce’s problem is that his predecessor managed it and he is failing to do so. The best they can hope for is limping through until May and hoping the summer brings structural change at the club. Without it, Newcastle United are slowly dying.
