Newcastle...

newcastle have good attacking players now. Players with pace and direct running ability. Its just they have a manager who won't use them and set them up to suit that.

yeah but look at games ag Spurs and Wolves. Barely had a kick. tiny amount of possession. 2 points away at tough grounds.

its whether NUFC have any ambition greater than survival. They have the players to be mid table and possibly top half. Not sure they have the manager though.

It was a strange team Brucey put out today. I half thought he was gunna play it out as some ultra-attacking total football ting:

Scar Lascelles Fernandez
Murphy Almiron Hendrick Fraser Lewis
Wilson ASM

Hendrick who is normally a winger sitting. Fraser and Almiron who are essentially wingers/forwards as midfielders. Was like a team I’d play with Newcastle on FIFA lol


well whatever he was planning it just didn’t work

I just think Bruce is too pragmatic to make Newcastle exciting to watch. He'll probably always keep them in the top division though.
