Carroll was a disgrace yesterday. No attempt to play football, just kick any City player and disrupt the flow of our game.
It was plain to see by millions of people on live television, that Bruce’s gameplan was to stop us playing by defending in numbers, and periodically hoofimg the ball up to the cart horse.
Yesterday was a chance for Steve Bruce and Newcastle FC to show the watching millions that they are a modern, well-equipped club, adapted to the 21st century and ripe for further investment. They did nothing of the sort.
Instead they proved to a mass audience that they are a club still stuck in the 50’s with their antiquated hoof ball ‘tactics’ and savage, violent assaults on opposing players.
Under the current managerial set-up I hope we never play this club again.
