Saints vs the toon

Bruce needs half time.

 

Mirandinha, get to the byeline and shoot

 

Brucey's masterplan

 

Another bad performance.

Is Bruce playing football manager again?

 

but he did and got many on target

 

Did I tell anyone I don’t like Steve Bruce.

 

HT 1-0

 

I saw that bold writing in hope to see a 1-1.

Then I learnt to be realistic.

 

I don’t get this post. I don’t know what your saying?

 

Absolutely shocking this... 5 at the back but we don't even try and counter.... Ffs get at them push up

 

Have faith. We're only 1v0 down away from home against the current league leaders.

 

Defense is far too deep and there's no midfield whatsoever... This is embarrassing as usual

 

You have some positive mental **** that I don’t have mate and I have to say your a better man than me.

I am a glass empty kind of person and after that shower of **** where we have had zero shots on target can’t see where your optimism is coming from.

 

Boils my piss at how easy we give the ball away on dangerous places. Time and time again. Just hoof the ****er

 

You know what my misses just said to me that’s the first time in our 16 years together that she’s watched a match with me and I’ve literally just watched it, like watching a film. I didn’t shout, or nothin.

That’s saying a lot to me that even though we are playing garbage I’m actually sitting watching it without any reaction at all.

Oh dear god.

 

We’ve now even got Pardew analysing the game. Why start now? He never could when he was our Manager.

 

It’s like waiting for news you knew was coming. We are losing. So what. We are going to lose. Aye.

I don’t care. I watch because it’s in my blood but this is just like watching an episode of eastenders. Your can see what’s coming. But you watch because you have to.

 

The good old days.

 

Their manager will literally just say. This is easy. We have this in the bag. Press them deep because that’s how they ALWAYS play. They will lose the ball. If they break. Niggle fouls to stop them as they want to run like forest gump.

 

Abject, self-destruction on a scale I've not seen many professional teams put in.

As much as I'd love to blame Bruce, wtf is going on with the players? Miggy, Lewis, Fernandez, ASM all losing possession in the final third. Not sure whats going on with the CB's pushing so high up either? Several times they have come and pushed past the midfielders to get to a player?

Sean Longstaff should have got us level with a free header on the six yard box. Bar the mistakes (and the first 10 mins) they have not created masses against us. Literally throwing this game away.

Hopefully Bruce will set them straight at half time. Easiest HT talk ever - Sort your **** out and concentrate.
