You point out the point that I really didn't expl
ain well in my reply.
My reply makes out I don't rate Jack which is very wrong.
He just drives me crazy because you just know the move breaks down when he gets that ball.
My point regards selling him is I really do think we are going to made an example of due to the FFP as through not selling Jack , it was a big statement yo our fans but a big Fcuk you to the ruling bodies.
But this talk is for January.
I just can't understand the attack on Bruce, many wanted remember, whilst I went for the Henry approach, can now complain.
He has got the points, made us hard to beat, the mistakes arnt down to him, does what he does with the style he plays.
We are doing very well.
Oh dear Liononthebed, I thought people had worked Bruce out by now.
You say mistakes aren't down to him but, the mistakes made would be less likely to keep being made, if he played players in their correct positions.
It's what we call 'the square pegs in round holes syndrome'.
You also say he does what he does with the style he plays but, the style he plays is a hotch-potch of different styles, none of which are played correctly.
As I pointed out in another post, if you play with a single forward and two widemen, four things have to be done before you can even think of having any success.
One; your forward has to be able to control and protect the ball as well as make good passes to the supporting players.
Two; your midfield players have to run beyond the forward on a consistant basis.
Three; your wideman without the ball has to cut in and attack the far post area from the ball.
Four; Your central midfield men have to be able to pick and make a pass quickly.
Bruce's style is to play one forward without having any of the rest happen. He also has no idea about how to change something that isn't working except, here I'm going by his actions last season, throw an extra three forwards on and hope something breaks.
We have two senior forwards in Kodjia and Hogan, neither of whom are suited to be target men. Both are more effective playing on the shoulder of the last defender, making short sharp twisting runs into space. This type of forward needs midfield to read those runs and deliver through balls of the right weight and into the right space. Our midfield ignore that kind of pass and get the ball wide at every opportunity for balls to be crossed that the forward will only get to first once in every twenty.
This is the managers fault.
