Newcastle United are 'lambs to the slaughter' and Steve Bruce is 'out his depth' – fans react to Magpies' Chelsea loss



Here’s how Twitter reacted to the 2-0 loss, Steve Bruce’s tactics and more...
@Jordan_Riches – “So Villa away next: We’ve just had 2 shockers and looked dismal against Southampton and Chelsea. The players look dejected and sick of the manager, the style of play is rotten, and we can barely string 2 passes together. How do you motivate this team?”

@RiIrving – “The #NUFC narrative relating back to the entertainers years needs to change. We fans do not expect that. All we want, all we’re desperate to see is SOME attacking ideas. That’s all. Not champions league, not entertainers, just some shots. Please.”
@PaulKershaw79 – “That was truly awful to watch, no plan, just lambs to the slaughter, Bruce is clearly out his depth and needs to go.”
@richardostell – “Tweet and repeat. Inept once more from #NUFC. Not one finger laid on Chelsea this afternoon.”
@David_H_UK – “I think our main problem is. Bruce actually thinks he’s doing a good job.”
@JamCam80s – “The more I hear the excuses the more I want him out!”
