nbthree3 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Knight Ryder's got a few words out of Bruce on Miggy: https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/steve-bruce-offers-depth-explanation-19162504 When asked about his decision to leave Almiron on the sidelines, Bruce told ChronicleLive: "You don't know how hard it has been for me to leave out Miguel Almiron. "Seriously, you don't know how hard. I picked the team against West Ham and didn't start him and we win. "Arguably, it was our best performance. "I leave that team in place for the second game because I think that was only fair on those who played at West Ham. "I was tempted in the third game and didn't go for him (Almiron started on the bench). "Last week he'd been on international duty and didn't get back until Friday." The Toon manager said: "Of all the people here, Miguel Almiron is probably my favourite because he trains every day, comes in and works so hard and is a manager's delight. "To leave him out the team was a big call for me. "But I had to pick a team that I thought could win a match. "And obviously last week I didn't get it right."

Raconteur Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 This notion that an XI that achieves a good result automatically merits being the XI for the next match is so retarded I can’t get my head around it. A professional manager in 2020 who genuinely says “worked last time, good for next” is mind boggling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 This notion that an XI that achieves a good result automatically merits being the XI for the next match is so retarded I can’t get my head around it. A professional manager in 2020 who genuinely says “worked last time, good for next” is mind boggling. It's because he doesn't believe in tactics, and what squad make up makes result is just black magic luck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 When everyone played 4-4-2 that mindset was probably acceptable. When you play different styles & systems every week, it’s insane. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judge Holden Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Grafted his knackers off today. Adapting to the game physically as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPL Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 That tackle right at the end of the game summed up his performance. He would have easily have nullified Lamptey against Brighton but barely got any minutes until today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Phenomenal work rate, often at high pace. Defensively, he gets pushed around like a rag doll, but a great nuisance who never gives up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Was pretty impressed with his ability to play deeper as a cm in a 3. He may not get the G/A (nobody could in this team tbf), but he is very important for us and should be starting every game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiston Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Quality in defence and really good going forward. Started a really good counter attack as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 It is certainly not his best position but in that combination of players maybe he works better there for us. Great interchanges with Lewis and ASM. Great defensive work too. Another incredible shift today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Be tempted to have him in the middle and ASM on the left. Would be more effective but leaves Lewis more exposed. Need to find a way to make it work though as he's far less effective through the middle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Just don't play a diamond midfield like we have the last couple of games. We absolutely need to find a system that suits ASM - he can't play centrally in Bruceball. Same back 5. Longstaff - Hendrick ASM Almiron Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Quite like him wider left but he's definitely more suited to a central role than ASM. His game is naturally more about quick touches and interchanges. As long as he's not on the right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
