    He’s been Bruced. Like Miggy has been Bruced.

    he stifles flair players, favours ‘workmanlike players’ and blames young lads for poor performances. Zero man management skills. Do we hear any players giving interviews saying he’s a top top coach? Nope. The silence is deafening.

    with Pardew, Hughton and Rafa the praise was constant from pretty much all players.

    If I were ASM I’d jump ship ASAP. Our club is rotten and toxic.

    I have to concur... When all the players are this bad it's the coaching

    Can anyone link me into a claim where a player from NUFC is waxing lyrical about Bruce? A manager who has been at our club over a YEAR. Genuine Q?

    Wasn't Shelvey? But he seems thicker than a castle wall

    He needs to leave to save his career. Under the potato, he has no chance of getting where he needs to be. Sad really but I'll cheer him on wherever he goes. He's a class act on and off the field.

    ASM has been **** because everytime the ball comes near him there's 3 defenders closing in. He's still creating more than most of the team, which isn't actually saying much.

    He's been done a disservice by Bruce using him as his only attacking hope, refusing to play Miggy in an attacking position with him to stretch defenders.

    If you're not going to partake in any form of management, or improving of your players, at least play 2 attacking threats. One is really ****ing easy to stifle.

    Very good. He does not have the consistency to play for a top side.

    Would he not look more consistent playing with other players who are allowed in the oppositions half?

    More than likely. A better coach would be getting more. This was the problem at Nice though. He could be unplayable one week then **** for the next 4.

    He was hoofed up and down the pitch the first few games of the season. He appears to have gone quiet of late, some of that might be teams either putting more men around him or stopping the supply to him, but this would surely mean that there should be other pockets of space opening up for us to exploit.

    As it stands he is looking like a modern day Lua-Lua, looks exciting with the ball, but not really much end product.

    Pretty good. He's French. Like Sissoko has a heart the size of a ****in pea.
    **** gives up way too easily.

    Simple one this, not very good. Takeover looks highly unlikely so he and Almiron will move on to better things at the end of the season.

    Plus the football we are playing would turn off any player.

    Our football of the past five years would have me putting in a transfer request. So a pair of foreign guys don't stand a ****ing chance.

    We are a dead bloated corpse of a club, who would enjoy playing for Newcastle if they don't already support us?

    Indeed. Its easy to criticise them.

    ASM and Almiron are crying out for some modern thinking. If I was that talented, knowing a football career is short, why hang around to play backs to the wall football when you can go enjoy your football?

    The myth that you can't play attacking or high press football if lower down the league is as moronic as it is false.
