TRon Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 How we play depends totally on which players start any given match. Since Matty Longstaff and Muto started the last two games, we've been passing it around more, albeit not that successfully. When Shelvey and Hayden are the midfielders, the ball is going long and high. Bruce clearly doesn't have a style of play, he's just winging it. That's why it usually goes to shit when he makes any subs, the shape just goes out the window. Reminds me of Souness in a lot of ways, other than he's less miserable.

St1pe Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Another whinge about today but I’m already sick to death of that 5-3-2. It gives options to passing it around the back 4 and absolutely nothing else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 I'm sick of 5 at the back now like. We don't play well with it so what's the point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 I'm sick of 5 at the back now like. We don't play well with it so what's the point. Because it's the template what Rafa left - the players are used to it. However under Bruce, the players have clearly regressed. Not only that, we are badly missing Rondon and Perez.

morla84 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Playing 3 at the back makes sense when everyone is fit imo, but when you're having to shoehorn a midfielder and rightback in there to keep it going it's time to have a rethink imo. Especially against a league 1 side Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gives options to passing it around the back 4 and absolutely nothing else. I said in the match thread, the back 5 were literally passing the ball sideways to each other, going absolutely nowhere....and what was perplexing about it was Hayden was one of those doing it. He's a midfielder, he could easily have carried the ball forward and given us some tempo, but then that's something which should be coming from the manager.

Because it's the template what Rafa left - the players are used to it. However under Bruce, the players have clearly regressed. Not only that, we are badly missing Rondon and Perez. It's not working anymore though. Bruce doesn't have the ability to do a Rafa system and we're reliant completely on luck. It's not even really making us solid. We could desperately do with the number 10 position back to link the play now I think. There's a gaping hole between the centre mids and the striker.
