It's funny I'm not even watching the game, but I know exactly how Joe and Atsu are playing. It's the same every single time they're on the pitch.
Ok seeing it now. It's another game were this Longstaff midfield just isn't paying off. They're not even remotely ready and Atsu being there is making it worse. Feel like we went here tonight to throw the game.
It's just one of those games, should stick Shelvey on and hope for something. Glad Brucie kept ASM out though, critical of his injury management but that was a good choice
Longstaffs should be subs, learning the game - Matt should be out on loan. Atsu should be in China, Joelinton should be in McDonald's. It's very hard to completely berate Bruce, these players are not PL players, or even close.
Seen enough now switched off. Too many things wrong to mention. Bruce had no options , but i wish hed see miggy must play left... Never want to see atsu play again
Atsu is awful under Bruce. Wasn't much crack with Rafa but atleast created something here or there. Feel like we're a man down when he plays now. Get rid and get someone in who can play Brucie's 'tactics'.
They will never be ready in that side.. No willems no manq sorry but it shows... shelvey as much as i moan is a big miss.. Hayden rb shows we had no option really. I think bruce had no option. Scrap off this one... we threw the game anyway... credit to bruce for looking ahead.
We've lined up 5-3-2, but Almiron's the only capable player so he's always out of position. Atsu, if there's anything there at all, isn't a ****ing central midfielder.
Yep. This is a throw. ASM not on bench, smart. We have a new signing ready to hop into midfield, good move. This is a very very weak side, just get this silly midweek game out of the way.
Sadly not. Maybe thats why we're stockpiling CMs. I expected a late window Hayden sale but guess not. Painful watching him play RWB tonight though.
