‘Two words … Steve Bruce’ – Newcastle United fans blame boss after second-half collapse against West Ham

[ad_1]

Steve Bruces’ men were beaten 4-2 by West Ham United despite a 2-1 lead at St James Park at halftime.

Joe Willock was revealed to the crowd following his 25m change from Arsenal this week.

However, it was the poor results that dominated today’s narrative with Newcastle United fans understandably upset.

Here’s how YOU reacted to the result on social media:

@ JimmyHock22: Fantastic halftime squad talk Steve But to be fair the defense was all over the place for the whole #NEWWHU game.

@ CraigNE40: Jones did well to get us scored twice, but Bruce conceding four is unacceptable.

@vickyyyf: Ah, my team. 2-1 at the break and 20 minutes later they conceded three goals. In an ever-changing world, you can always count on #NUFC to be the same.

@THNUFC: I never want to see Jonjo on the pitch again.

@ KierenW6: How do you go from 2-1 at halftime to 4-2 at home, in short Steve Bruce.

@MLambHK: Shelvey should be away from this team. It is a liability. Willock + Hayden for the next game please. Tell Graeme!

@ dannyokeefe988: Has a manager ever been sacked after the first game of a season, a joke has no clue and must go !!

@AngelNUFC: Excellent first half, terrible second half. I would like the referees to give ASM as many faults as to Grealish, he did not receive anything today.
