If Bruceball looks dangerous against you, you're doing something wrong. Also, Newcastle under Bruce look like we did in the Championship under him. Get the ball to your one creative player (Grealish/ASM) and hope he can do something magical. Until that happens, defend, defend, defend. Newcastle looked alright here I thought - created plenty of chances, not at all “defend, defend, defend”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Leeds are definitely a team with 2nd season syndrome. Better teams will smash them if they play like this and I dont mean just the top teams 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a brilliant player whenever I watch him, but always seems to shoot straight at the keeper when he has a teammate he could square it to, more often than not. Think he doesn't trust them, and I don't blame him. They have a much better chance of scoring if he's the one taking the shot, regardless of where it's from. The alternative is giving it to Joelinton or someone like that and watching them blaze it over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's one of the weaker parts of his game though, it looks great and exciting and results in good saves but he's a blaster, hit it goal ward as hard as he can and hope for the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they have much better players than Sheff U had though and also a much better manager. I suspect that they will be fine. We definitely should be targeting to finish above them though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not convinced the manager is much better, he has one style which when working looks superb especially for the neutral but if it’s not working looks poor. Wouldn’t surprise me if he walked out if they were like this in another 10 games, he does have a bit of history of dramatics at other clubs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only quality they currently have is Raphinha and the goalkeeper. Defence is absolute woeful and they pretty much have nothing in midfield or attack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 No disrespect to a great Champ goalscorer but how do you spend 2 years in the PL and a fresh year of parachute money and have a 35 year old Billy Sharp starting up front for you.
