- Get four defensive players in their proper positions - Find the ideal CM partnership within the squad - Move Larsson to his natural side and put Sessegnon on the other side - Get Bendtner and Dong up front And Sunderland will do much better this season. Putting together an effective 4-4-2 isn't bloody rocket science, but it seems to escape Bruce.
I honestly think that Bruce thinks the 4-6-0 (Sess is not a striker) works, managers usually use cup matches to experiment, right? He used it to see if the formation would work, it clearly didn't, yet he did it again?! the man is clueless and does not learn from mistakes such as: . Larsson is not effective on the left . Elmo is really bad . Richardson is NOT a defender . Hoofing the ball up to Sess won't work . Bringing on an 18 year old when we're chasing the game is not 'easing him in' . CMs don't belong on the wing . You need width and that includes the left side . Two strikers = more goals The list really could go on, he's clueless and it's ****ing frustrating! NO club would keep Bruce after his two runs other than us, ffs.
I'm sure Bruce actually mentioned that he uses the 4-6-0 type formation because Barca uses it and because it's considered the 'tactic of the future'. Absolute muppet.
How many players did he sign in summer, none of which were left backs or left wingers? And he now has "makeshift cover" in both of these positions. I actually feel for Sunderland fans with this muppet at the helm, but can you keep him until the next derby?
It's unbelievable, he has never signed a left sided player for us! I am dreading that day!! Hopefully by then we have someone who has a clue managing us! And he did seem to justify his genius formation by saying Barcelona played 8 midfielders, he saw it, he did. I guess that's why Cattermole is always trying the fancy passes, Bruce must've told him to play like Busquets haha. Is Elmo Sanchez, Pedro or Villa? we all know Sess is better than Messi anyway
Guess it's just Pardew getting the better out of his squad than Bruce is... Didn't think much of their first half, but the 2nd was cracking.. Sad to say, they are fairly entertaining to watch, i wait every game for the to lose, but they keep dissapointing me.. Think they have a cracking player in that Cabaye mind..
No left back No additional striker after Bent No cover player for Gyan ... we can go back further Selling Danny Collins This will now be his 3rd season where we don't have an adequate back 4 - WHEN PEOPLE GET INJURED How many injuries during training? How many key players playing whilst carrying injuries and how often? Playing crocked players who then limp off with an even more serious injury - HOOFING THE BASTARD BALL UP THE FIELD GAME AFTER GAME LIKE WE'RE SCHOOL BOYS 11 HIT-AND-HOPE You want more.
Sunderlands main problem is the manager. Sack him. Do it, sack him. Sack him now. Go on, sack him already. Bruce won't even have a go, after so many defeats and draws. What a total monkey. You're going to fall out of this league with a whimper if your board doesn't wake up and smell the coffee. Time is up. The korean kid looks a player, he gets into positions, how isn't he in the team? Sessegnon should be playing in the middle with Catts or on the flank. But really in the middle, there's your partnership. On paper your squad is strong enough to compete for places 8-17. Brown O'Shea ought to be alright too for a cb pairing, Bardsley and Ricco on the flanks are as good as what we have. Seriously guys, if you can't compete with Bolton, who have been poor..you need to stage a protest. It's a mess. Bad time to play Bolton at home too, they're just coming back from the dead and will want blood. Get everyone shouting and hounding him out of town. Even if protest is detrimental to the teams performance. Bruce does not have the backing of the fans does he? And he, along with the board don't even seem to know it. On the other hand Wigan are all over the place at the minute, so that at this point I'd be disappointed if we weren't on 19 points by next sunday. That's half our points target, in a quarter of a season. There's not much else to say about us at the moment, we're getting 2 points a game, and that is darn sexy.
