Fat waste of space, tactically inept cabbage head Steve Bruce sacked by Newcastle United

[Isegrim 9906]

I am glad we hired the manager of the year contender and not this fancy Artutu

Aye, given that Dummett isn't eligible as he wasn't named in the 25 man squad then I'd say he's a really big doubt, Steve.

Steve Bruce:

“The one thing you can’t deny about this group is their ability to roll their sleeves up and have a go.

“We played two full backs as centre backs today and I was delighted with their application and attitude.

“I thought if anyone was going to win it in the second half it was us.

“When you see Andy Carroll head and shoulders above their defenders you think it’s a classic Andy goal.

He’s disappointed because it had goal written all over it but it wasn’t to be.

“Emil Krafth has a really sore ankle.

“He’s done well to carry on. He epitomised the spirit of all of them today.

“It wasn’t a classic, don’t get me wrong.

“However it was important that we put a point on the board.

“Fair play to everyone that worked tirelessly to get the games on and get the season finished.

“However it’s been a long, long year and we’ll have played ten games in 35 days which is a huge ask.

“We haven’t got the ability to rotate so all in all the players have done well.”

You literally had an Academy CB on the bench yet didn't see fit to give him a minute of game time despite it being a game that meant nothing and both sides played as such.

Aye, absolutely absurd. And then he has the cheek to wonder why Matty Longstaff is wanting to leave to get football.

Assuming we lose to Liverpool we’d have less points, less wins, will have scored less, conceded more and could potentially finish a place lower than last season 

[ewerk 31218]

Not that we need it spelling out for us but our only aim at the beginning of every season is to stay up, promote Sports Direct and not cost the owner any money. We're stuck in purgatory.

But according to pundits the fans demand too much 

 

Unbelievable.

Aye, Souness came out last night with the old, 'expectations are so high up there it's impossible for any manager' line and in the next breath said how Rafa had the full backing of the fans despite the boring football.

I think he was talking about when his lot got relegated from the PL. Or was it when they immediately got relegated from the Championship? It's hard to keep track of them.

Tbf Souness did a brilliant job at lowering expectations

Our expectations were so high after him we welcomed Roeder as his replacement with open arms.

That's our problem, always wanting a big name manager.
