So proven beyond doubt we will never and can never progress with Bruce in charge. Took him 12 months to realise we needed to be further up the pitch. Did it once, then picked the exact same "system" that got him a lucky point v Liverpool against a vastly different team in Leicester.
The glaring issue in midfield - whether it's picking Shelvey which keeps us 20 yards too deep, or playing two regardless of opposition - seems beyond his comprehension. The personnel, apart from the abysmal Ritchie, was right for the match, but the formation was wrong. Again CM was woefully exposed, because every player we have there is limited. We could have both Longstaffs playing behind Almiron, or someone like Hendrick sitting deep to allow Longstaffs to transition. But asking the Longstaffs to simply work out how to attack and defend, when Almiron is poor wide right and Joelinton anonymous wide left, is insanity. We're playing with a wing back and a wide midfielder, and I counted 4 crosses during the entire match - none of which were attacked by anyone.
It's just simple, basic **** ups from the manager that will put us in danger of relegation, which is identical to McLaren? Didn't Schteve get an unlikely result against a big club in the last four weeks of his reign as well?
Simply, this idiot has to go. But to be replaced by who/what? Some other useless Ashley stooge no-mark twat, no doubt.
