    We have gone from a capable side, able to hold its own and difficult to break down. We were arguable under achieving under Rafa, and fans wanted to see progress.

    To a side unable to pass a ball, take a throw in or even a corner.

    Its truly been an absolute disaster. The club even signed ****ing players to build on what we had, he just cant manage. Just sack him, finish 10th and have a good season. Its simple.

    The lack of urgency by NUFC is truly strange.

    For someone who is a self made billionaire, he really does not have a clue.

    There’s a reason why his record is the worst in premier league history. If it looks and smells like ****.

    It probably is ****!

    Underachieving under rafa? We finished 10th and 13th.. I'd say that was good going personally with the group of players we had... Once we had Almiron perez and rondon for the last 4 months we were actually a decent side. Took the 7th highest points tally from end of the window to the end of the season....

    It wasn't bruces fault Ashley let rondon go or perez, but he's had 100 million and max and Wilson alone make up for that... Fraser, Lewis, Joelinton and Hendrick are all absolute ****e though and 3 of them were his picks

    That is what the likes of Gary Neville fail to understand. The differences between Benitez and Bruce are subtle.

    They will, but we won't offer them enough money... Thats why players sign for clubs

    Tight defensive unit capable of superb counter attacking football.

    I agree with this actually.

    We weren't pretty, nor adventurous. But we had a style at least, we did that thing well and clubs knew thats what they got when they played against us. A tough game.

    Now we are styleless, confused and utterly unimaginative.

    Its painful.

    Boring football but we were good at it... Neville the failed manager has the same problem many people do and its not identifying the difference between a solid counter attacking side and just bad football

    Neville isn't the best pundit imo, he makes clangers regularly and has lost his mojo after Valencia.

    Carra made him look like a bit of a mong on this topic the other night.

    But Gary got one thing spot on, the owner has to go.

    I think I agree with Neville on everything but the claim the football is the same... It definitely isn't, but overall I thought both pundits were on point . Much better than the crap we've had levelled at us for decades.. Maybe and finally this is a start of the end of all that ****
