Guest Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Should have just done this from day one. That half was pretty much a typical Rafa half. Little possession, hanging on in, limiting their space in the final third but breaking when possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little possession, hanging on in, limiting their space in the final third but breaking when possible. why would you change it? he's pretty much inherited the exact same squad except we have 2 different attackers anyone with an ounce of sense wouldn't have touched that system, which is why he's so shit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little possession, hanging on in, limiting their space in the final third but breaking when possible. Wanted to make Shelvey a big part of his plans, which wasn't smart at all. Forced him into the team at the expense of one of the supporting attacking midfielders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Edgar Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 "Won at Spurs which Rafa couldn't do." "Won a game in the first 10 fixtures which Rafa couldn't do." "My name's Luke Edwards." We are going to hear some shit this week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 At least we know now that we were all stupid to get angry about losing a world class, multi-decorated manager who wanted to stay and build a legacy, and replacing him with a Championship manager who has won absolutely nothing.

NEEJ Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Very interesting to see how little criticism is directed his way from the media when we've settled for 20% possession against one of the big boys. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm eating humble pie as we speak. The other brilliant thing about performances like today's is that it completely reverses the utterly laughable shitshows which precede it - like: not making it clear what position a substitution needs to play, changing formations three times in twenty minutes, not motivating the team resulting in a battering against Norwich, publicly criticising the players' efforst, publicly rising to Michael Chopra's comments. In fact, it actually means that they didn't happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 An abberation, nothing more. Doesn't change anything medium/long term. Doesn't mean he shouldn't get any credit for today obviously, fair play, but this result today isn't going to become the norm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 The media was starting to turn on Bruce but this result is going to mean the narrative turns back in his favour. Hopefully Hope will keep up his campaign but TalkSport will be insufferable this week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
