I think bruce's bit in the middle is gorged, distended and extremely unpleasant to look at. it's also likely to feature quite prominently in a coroners report. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

About 6.50 compared to the ridiculous amount of money the club has spent since they ushered him to the door. Being sensible, you can only buy what you can with the budget you are given. 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Alex 5,186 Posted October 20 Report Share Posted October 20 Every manager going buys some shit. There’s a lot less risk involved when you’re given the funds to buy tried and tested rather than having to take a punt on young and unproven players though. Benitez managed to improve most of the players who played under him though. Look at the money we got for Perez for example. Not just him though, Lascelles was being touted for silly money. He’s probably worth about 20% of what he was when Bruce inherited him. It says a lot about Bruce that he can’t even drill his defence well. That said, I reckon we’ll be ok again when you look at some of the sides in the division. He epitomises the Ashley era though, short-term, no real plan, no obvious playing style, just about make do and get another season’s worth of tv money. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fulham and West Brom look poor, but beyond that we are hoping that Burnley or Sheffield United (who both have better managers than us) have stinkers of a season. If ASM gets injured I wouldn't bet against us finishing rock bottom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Gloom 2,814 Posted October 20 Report Share Posted October 20 I think we’ll be ok, based only on how lucky Bruce seems to be. I’ve never known a manager to pick up so many points from performances which haven’t deserved any Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We’ve been statistically awful for the whole of Bruce’s tenure though and you’d think the apparent luck would even itself out sooner or later.

canofbeans 13 Posted October 20 Report Share Posted October 20 Bruce is tactically inept, morally bankrupt, a cretin, and basically not fit for the role. with the team working properly we could get lower mid table (11th to 14th). with Bruce in charge we'll probably get relegated. even with the bottom 3 being absolute rubbish, he's absolutely capable of dragging us down to the championship.

Dr Gloom 2,814 Posted October 20 Report Share Posted October 20 (edited) with the players at his disposal, we should be comfortably in mid-table. he's got to stop pissing about with joelinton in the team and hendrick on the wing when there are a couple of high quality alternatives on the bench. it's hard to fathom what almiron has done to piss him off so much. he was our best player last season after ASM Edited October 20 by Dr Gloom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Fish 649 Posted October 20 Report Share Posted October 20 If the stadium wasn't empty the atmosphere would be fucking toxic, doubt even that would get him out the door though. Bruce's job is safe as long as we're not looking likely to go down. Would love a journalist to really pull him up on the bullshit excuses we're hearing after every poor performance. The're simply no reason to play as badly as we are. We've got the players, arguably the best squad we've had since relegation. He inherited a good defensive team, he's got good attacking players in Wilson, ASM, Almiron, Fraser and yes, even Joelinton. I might be missing something, but it seems pretty straightforward to me. 4 at the back with Hayden ahead of him, no Shelvey, 5 from the other options. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Either play him there, or bench him. Don't stick him on the wing where he's entirely ineffectual. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
