Bruce did the same thing to Ben Arfa at Hull rught after he left us. Claiming their goalkeeper ran more than Ben Arfa during games.

 

I don't think that was a myth tbf. Possibly exaggerated. Ben Arfa didn't bother his arse at Hull; doesn't mean the manager isn't at least partly responsible for not getting a tune out of a player. For a player with that amount of talent to be performing that badly... you have to seriously look at the manager as well.

Yeah, I agree completely.

 

I mean imagine putting him in the current team that sits deep all game and can't string together 3 passes when we do get it back.

 

It would break the guy's spirit and he will not be out there charging about aimlessly all game trying to cover gaps and win the ball back, only to then hoof it back to the other team.

 

We have already now started to see the effect it is having on ASM and Miggy, who both look increasingly fed up with it all, as they never get to express themselves nearly enough in forward areas.
