I haven't watched too many games where our tactics have been shocking however I've watched a load of games where our front men have struggled to score gilt edge chances
Bruce just needs to thank his lucky stars for many things.
One in that he got a job in the first place as only Ashley would have employed him for us.
Two in that his own tactics have been exposed many times over the years as shite but he has taken on a bunch of well drilled professionals and allowed them to continue doing what they already knew as well as using Rafa's tactic sheets.
For me, giving Bruce credit now is akin to someone previously drawing up the plans for building a house, a quality house which is then put together by a builder on the cheap. The house had a leaky roof which the previous 'builder' kept complaining about but now and then it kept the inside dry against the odds by reinforcing the loft area and being cautious. It wasn't pretty to look at but was successful in doing it's job.
Once the original owner of the plans and consequent house build got evicted, the new owner came in on the back of the bailiffs providing a brand new roof but the new owner is now getting all the credit for how the house looks every time he washes the windows.
Rafa laid the foundations for what is there now so if credit is being handed out then he has to be afforded some also although this will all be forgotten either way come the end of the season as there'll either be a takeover or a £50m sale of Saint-Maximin to get people kicking off again.
Me I think Rafa would have vetoed the signing of St Maximum given his reported "history". He would have found us another gem like Murphy instead who will be a good boy and do as he is told. Go out on loan for example.
Quelle surprise, McDreary disagreeing with me. I could say the sky was blue and that numpty would find fault. It's mind-numbingly boring, especially when you look at SDU's possession statistics and attempts at goal.
Quite simply, Bruce is a shit manager, always has been and always will be. Luckily for him, Saint Maximin has saved his blushes.
Up until fairly recently we had only been playing 1 up front and you know who that is missing all the chances. Is Bruce really notgoing to give Gayle a chance or is he being forced to play joelinton?

Good to see you take a simple difference of opinion with your usual playground attitude
Not at all. It's quite evident from this board that you either disagree with everything I say or like posts by other people if they disagree with me. Now that is childish. As previously mentioned, I could state the sky is blue and you would disagree.
