That is one way of looking at it but I just hate the lack of respect he has, especially in defeat. Nobody enjoys losing but it doesn't mean you should be a complete nob every time you lose. As good as he is as a coach, he really is a detestable person. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJB-fox Posted 20 March 2021 Share Posted 20 March 2021 12 minutes ago, Facecloth said: Listening to Bruce's post match interview, I actually wonder how much he knows about football tactics. He never brings them up, never talks about a style of play or intensity of the play. He seems very good at the admin side. He knows who's available and who's not, but that's about it. I genuinely think he has rough idea of the formation he wants to play, but past that he's doesn't actually know what he wants the players to do within that. You’re not far wrong mate. Was always a very good man manager and motivator but that quality seems to have completely deserted him. Tactically he’s well off what you’d expect of a premiership manager that played at the level he did. Players normally like him but his tenure at Newcastle has been horrendous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And "you are not one of us" a reference to being Sunderland manager perhaps? You are not one of us is referring to Bruce repeatedly saying he understands Newcastle supporters he is one of them, he knows what the club means to them etc. Coward I’d imagine is in relation to their tactics - go out and try and win a game don’t just sit back and hope to nick a 1-0. Or play for a draw against Brighton. Once he does get the boot, which will be sooner rather than later this is him finished as a top flight manager - unless he takes a championship team up.

Super_horns Posted 20 March 2021 Share Posted 20 March 2021 Steve Bruce seems to get more support than most managers in the media . There tends to be excuses made for him like they have injured players or those picked don’t perform. And the Mike Ashley factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think partly that and probably also in reference to the alleged training ground row in which Matt Ritchie repeatedly called Bruce a coward after he blamed a goal on him for not passing instructions on quick enough. I feel a bit sorry for him because I think he comes across as an alright bloke and it can't be easy managing a team where all the players obviously think you're shit and all the fans hate you. Can't blame him for waiting for a payoff rather than walking and the problems there seem to run far deeper than him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenTheFox Posted 21 March 2021 Share Posted 21 March 2021 Bruce would get a job in the championship, but I'm not sure he'd be top of the list for clubs with promotion aspirations, despite having been promoted on more than one occasion. He was considered a good appointment by Villa when he first went there but I think football even in the championship has moved on since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends where he goes Bruce I dont think hes a manager that can handle big club pressure. With fans with high demands. He did well at Birmingham, Wigan and Hull due to less expectations. Them type of clubs dont care about the style of football as long as team is getting vital wins. I actually thought Bruce will go at the end of the season but after the performance tonight, Ashley I think will be forced to make a decision earlier. Cannot see where a win or even draw will come from for the geordie. Edited 21 March 2021 by Leicesterpool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle 28 points spurs h L burnley a L west ham h D liverpool a L arsenal h L leicester a L man city h L sheff utd h W fulham a L Fulham 26 points villa a L wolves h D arsenal a L chelsea a L burnley a L southampton a D man utd a L newcastle h W I've got Newcastle staying up by a point by beating Sheff Utd. I agree on the whole. For all the talk of Fulham's upturn in fortunes, they have 4pts in their last 5 games. 3 of those were against Liverpool and to be honest Newcstle or any top half championship team would have beaten Liverpool at that time. Reckon something like 33 points could end up being enough and as awful as Newcastle have been they'll probably just about do it.

We beat them by nullifying their attack and beating their high press. Pep is clearly worried about us and doesn't like being outsmarted by Brendan. On the other hand it's easy for him to compliment a team like Everton who he doesn't see as a threat and with a manager who is probably an old friend of his and not someone who he is threatened by in the same way he is by Brendan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He commonly praises teams who attack his teams - did at Bayern as well. It’s a total back hand compliment - he did the same to Southampton a couple of weeks ago.

Everton are seen as small time by Pep. He sees us as a bit of a threat and he knows we're a proper team. He's,just padding Everton on the head like the tinpot team they are, like he would to Burnley, Newcastle etc. Plus, it's easier to be nice to the opposition when you've just beaten them.
