I mean it was always clear Rafa had him playing above his level. He’s technically great for a CB, but suspect defensively. System was tailor made to play to his strengths and help nullify his weaknesses.

Makes a basic mistake - managers fault  :lol:

 

His fault clearly, but it’s not just one mistake is it - he looks a shadow of the player he has been, in every capacity. He’s been sat on the bench most of the season and then played in an unfamiliar midfield role 2 games in a row where he didn’t exactly excel. Then he’s put into a back 4 against a high-pressing Spurs team. Bruce sees him every day and should know his strengths and weaknesses. Maybe Rafa’s attention to detail has given me unrealistic expectations of what a manager should be/do. ??‍♂️

Literally nobody’s said that. Haydn said the complete opposite in fact.

 

Completely on him why he's been shite this season isn't it? Nothing to do with Bruce..

 

Might as well just do away with managers, they clearly have no impact on players’ performances.  :fool:

A player with particular attributes signed to play a particular role. Has struggled since that role has changed. That shows his limitations, obviously, but you do get limited players when you're dabbling in the ~£3-5m market.

We could have added a 2 in front of that price 12 months ago, we’ll be lucky to get double it after this season especially with only 12 months to go on his contract.

ok his fault for the first goal. but the second was even worse - and that's bruce's fault. the positioning of the defenders was all over the place. never happened under rafa.

I completely disagree with this.  Kane pulls out wide onto the RB.  CB can't just follow and leave a huge gap in the defence.

He just seems to want to take an extra touch instead of releasing the ball early.. if he released ball a bit earlier he mightn't have got hurt

 

though you could say the same last year when he kept going and going and scored against Cardiff so its swings and roundabouts.. just think he holds onto the ball a bit too long when he could release it earlier

he's still trying to play like he did under rafa but the difference now is players aren't making the same runs to open up space for him, and play is more compressed in our own defensive areas so he'll get caught more often

The first goal was just a bad mistake. He had two options for a pass in loads of space, no Spurs player near him. Was just a terrible touch.

Sure, just a general point about him really. He needs to start hoofing it if he's gonna play under Steve Bacon

Certainly it will be different for him under Rafa compared to Bruce. No doubt. He made some better runs in second half tbf. Just seems to have a mistake in him ATM. I still hope he stays. Under a new manger he can improve again.
