Just wanted to let everyone know that Bruce has no intention whatsoever of ever playing this formation. When asked about starting almiron and Fraser he refers to not want wanting to drop Wilson max or Joelinton rather than dropping one of his 3 cms and going 4 2 3 1 Wilson Almiron /Fraser max Murphy Almiron can't play right wing and Frasers useless there also Max can play in the middle no problem and even swap during games Murphy might not be great not he's the only player thats a natural right winger.. Its about creating something natural 1st ffs Bruce has concocted an idea that has 3 of our best players bit starting with players in positions they are bad in and he's going to keep doing it. He also smirks suggesting we attacked in the last 10 minutes and look what happened..?? He waited until we were losing and then threw on a few players in the wrong positions in a system that wasn't working.. He's so arrogant... He simply will not change this system or drop his favourites
He said certain players deserved to stay in the team due to their performances in the last game (Burnley) by his own standards I expect to see Joelinton dropped and half of the midfield dropped along with some of the back 4 the only player that could say had a good game is Darlow and he is injured
he says "we are 1-1 with 5 mins to go and we are horribly naive" he mentions this word about 10 times yet it is his job as a manager to organise things -- idiot he is the one that is supposed to have all this premier league experience
He played hayden after he felt a tear in his hamstring before half time... Then he brought schar on in cm despite already having 3 out there.. He's just so arrogant he will refuse to change his ridiculous system even when thats the only logical choice.. I've had enough of him... Wolves if we lose to wolves then we'll definitely lose to Everton and I think then he'll be under pressure and the players will fold
As someone else has pointed out he is having an easy ride of things because there are no crowds to tell him what they think the press questions were a bit lame
Lee Ryder - supporters thought we should taken the game to Manure Steve Bruce - I thought that we did that in the last 10 - 15 mins of the game ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ erhhhh what happened to the rest of the game when we sat back and invited Manure to attack us
That really annoyed me too.. He waited until a were losing and then had a go.. They had a lead, so they could then just sit back and hit u on the counter. The fact his system is totally dysfunctional for 90 minutes of course shouldn't be questioned. He's playing players out of position for no reason whatsoever. Wilson striker Almiron /Fraser AML MAX AMC Murphy AMR Fraser and almiron are both useless on the right as is Joelinton Max can play anywhere but he's got to me amc to get out best players on the pitch in their natural positions Murphy might not be great, but that's his position... I hate managers that try to reinvent players rather than just play them where they've played to get this far. It's obvious to anyone watching where players are best suited, but not to Steve bruce. Then there's his desires to remove anything that can be credited to his predicessor. Rafas best defensive signing.. Dropped forever Rafa didn't play shelvey play him every gave for the full 90 Rafa signed Almiron our second highest goalscorer last season after finally moving him to the left... Drop him so I can play my signing Jeff hendrick It's just so obvious.. It's all about him.. He's constantly bellowing instructions from the touchline and trying to influence everything throughout.... Dragging players here and there.. None of them have any idea what's going on, so they are hesitant and at times one goes he others are too afraid to play
I don't see why Almiron Max and Fraser can't all play in a 3, players can move around none of them have to be stuck out on the right. But even with Murphy it's better than the ****e we're seeing now. Infact I'm fed up of talking about it, there is nobody else in the world who would set a team up the way Bruce does
Yes I agree, but 1st you play people on natural positions and if you need to move them around, but it's been obvious to anyone with half a brain that almiron can't play on the right in fact he's useless there and Fraser is the same from what I've seen. I'd still rather play those 3 than this ridiculous 4 4 2 with 3 cms and no natural wingers though, but he's made it crystal clear we won't be seeing them all as long as he's here.
He's just not very good and history back up that claim. I hope he has the sense to ditch this ridiculous system before it's too late because ultimately we need him to do well The worst thing is that he's come out after every game blaming everything other than the system or his changes.. He's seemingly decided that's what I'm going to do and that's that. I mean Ashley must surely be thinking.. I've spend 100 million, the sides worse than before we spent it.
**** as Bruce is, he's still better than McClaren. It's hard to put into words the ****e we served up under McClaren, not saying Bruce is any good mind, I mean it's a bit like saying herpes is better than gonorrhoea. Remarkably similar in the way we got them though, both were washed up has been managers we plucked from mid table championship sides.
No way! McLaren was gash but least we had some good results where we played exceptionally well. Steve Bruce is worse than a Sunday league pub manager
???? We were in the relegation zone the whole time under McClaren! We never played well under him we were constantly atrocious, the team was completely disjointed and he never even considered dropping the likes of Coloccini, Taylor and Sissoko no matter how badly they played. Bruce is better than McClaren, Carver and Kinnear, but he's still cack. He's about level with Pardew.
