Steve Bruce explains tactics at Sheff United and 'two false no 10s' plan that backfired

Newcastle United suffered the ignominy of being the first team to lose to Sheff United this season

 

Steve Bruce has explained his thinking on tactics during the dire 1-0 defeat at Sheffield United.

 

The Magpies were beaten by the bottom side in the Premier League and barely laid a glove on the Blades on an awful night for the club at Bramall Lane.

 

Bruce named five at the back but the word before the game was that a front three was supposed to probe the struggling Yorkshire club.

 

When asked about tactics, Bruce said: "Too defensive in the approach?

 

"Well we have played the same sort of way and I have changed the personnel at the top end of the pitch to try to give us something a little bit different because we haven't scored enough or created enough.

 

 

"That was my thinking, playing Ryan Fraser and Sean Longstaff as two false number 10s instead of Miguel Almiron and Big Joe.

 

"Of course, because of the games we've had I tried to pick a team with a certain freshness.

 

"I wanted to see if something different would work.

 

"In hindsight what I needed was to get in at half-time to change things around but unfortunately the red card put pay to that."

I've woken up still angry about what I saw last night.

 

I thought I didn't care anymore after all the shit we've endured, but whatever that was last night really hurt. To see what has become of our club is really sad.

 

To watch that guy stood on the touch line like a deer in headlights with not a clue what to do, getting paid the money he does.

As has been pointed out, it wouldn't be so bad, if he didn't already have a ridiculously long history of being this shit at other clubs. This is not a secret. Steve Bruce doesn't have a clue how to be a football manager. He just played football in a successful team once and has lived off it ever since.

 

I thought Bruce was an irrelevance as the club was dying without the Takeover anyway. But I agree, he is the the Trump of the football world. He's burning everything to shit before things have a chance of getting better.
