Match Day Thread Leeds vs Newcastle

That's the thing mate 7 of those players last night were part of a struggling Championship team when he took over, what he has done with them is outstanding

 

Leeds should've been in for Wilson like... He's be happier there.. He's get service and he can actually play football... He's ruined his career signing for us

 

I thought that last night,if there's one player of yours I'd like in our team it would be him, think he would suit us, allegedly we were after him but he chose you.

 

The side rafa left created chances when they attacked that's the difference. I've supplied one example above, but I can continue with others

 

Captain Wrong just spamming the entire board with never ending negativity

Think I'll log off for a day or two

 

Yeah he's chosen unwisely then he could've gone to villa.. Quite why he chose us I don't know. Maybe wages?

I would hate playing in our side... The instructions are just to defend while the manager bellows at anyone that dates to step up the pitch... They must all be sick of their lives and I'm pretty sure that's why Almiron and Saint max want out.... The others that he's given their numbers to willof course think it's great fjrvaxwerk or two because they want to play, but they'll soon realise themselves it's horrible playing under Bruce

 

Probably a good idea if you can't handle the sad reality

 

Mate the discussion me and G4 are having is about two things:

1. Is the football ****e to watch
2. How much possession we have in games

No need to dilute it into anything else to be honest. The answer for both Rafa and Bruce is:

1. Yes
2. Not very much hence point 1

The bottom line for me is I want to watch football played properly again. I've had 13 years of watching **** football - for all Pardew at least had a go more often. Its just not good enough and the buck stops with the owner who appointed all of these negative ****s. Even if we were working on a paltry budget, there is no requirement to play negative football. You can still get out of a relegation battle playing football properly. Look at Leeds or Pardew.

We appoint negative managers, play **** football and don't invest to get better. It really is that simple for me.

 

The only problem is that the numbers don't suggest you're correct

 

Anyway I've successfully pissed off the entire board today, so I'm off to bathe

 

Unfortunately they do. Our possession under Rafa was absolute gash - I'm sure I read we had less than 30% possession on something like 10 or 11 occasions in each of his two PL seasons. No possession, not gonna be very good to watch. Man U and NUFC played some counter attack in the 90's but it was part of an attacking style. Defensive counter has always been a bad watch. Again you don't stats to confirm it even, we all watched the games, they were **** and we got dominated.

I'm of course assuming no one is stupid enough to suggest we were good to watch under Rafa (specsavers is their only hope or watch another sport)

 

possesion was low but we created chances with the ball... This is where people that can't read a game fall down you see.

 

Here's another example

 

I don't understand what your point is in relation to:

1. Are/Were we good to watch under Bruce or Rafa? The answer is no
2. Do/Did we have much possession under Bruce or Rafa? The answer is no.

Nobody is discussing who created the most chances. I don't know the stats on that but I'd say we created more under Rafa. However this doesn't alter anything to do with the above, we were still **** to watch and didn't have much possession.

Its like choosing one turd over another and being delighted with the slightly less smelly one. Why not choose something better than a turd?

 

You don't understand because you cannot see the difference between a negative defensive mess and a welk organised defensive unit with an effective counter attacking side mate.

I've posted the stats from rafas last 2 games and I'm going to keep going until hopefully you do understand...

 

3rd last game

1-1

 

4th last have 3 - 1 win

 

5th last game

Like I say effective counter attacking side...

Look at the stats from our last 5 you'll see the difference



I'll keep going

0-1 win

 

Basically we were a good side when rafa left... A very good counter attacking side

 

We finished mid table and played **** football so not really. A good side would play good football and compete.

Taking sections of a season which suit your argument is nonsense. You judge on an entire season not bits that look good.
