I'm no fan of Bruce but I think the run of difficult games coinciding with covid affecting the squad has been conveniently ignored by many
It could be argued that a better manager might have got a hold of it before the downward spiral really kicked in but ultimately without ASM we offer very little going forward
Bruce is dhite but there inst another manager out there that I would want to come in under Ashley
He looks out his depth to me at times Mc.
As you already stated that could be down to circumstances out of his control though.
He is determined to let us know that the problems on the pitch were down to Rafa coaching football out of the players and has mentioned on numerous occasions now their struggle to adapt to his 'his approach'.
Going by their reactions to winning, it looks like they have kissed and made up and the sprit within the squad is there to be seen .
If he leaves Almiron out again though he will be permanently in my bad books, that was nowt to do with Benitez.
