“Under Bruce, players described themselves as feeling alone on the pitch. They spoke about having all the attributes, but no brain controlling it,” a dressing-room source says. “With Eddie, they say they feel like he’s on the pitch with them. If something goes wrong, they know what to do, how to react, because it’s drilled into them. When things go right, it’s part of the plan and it gives them belief in what they’re doing.”
lack of input from the “man with no brain”
so lucky to have Eddie, and I know he and his team are happy to have us.
“all aboard the joy ride”
