Always thought Fat Rafa and his 5-4-1 negative no expectations turd football got too many plaudits at Newcastle, mainly because of the portrayal of it being him vs. Ashley and how he wasn't being backed.

Steve fucking Bruce has come in and managed to do no worse thus far, and at times actually lets the team attack.

I agree. But is Bruce befitting from the defensive structure put in place? We've seen the same happen with Martinez at Everton. He replaced Moyes and first season they were more liberated and did well. But second season was a defensive collapse.
