Collage Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Hahahaha I actually made a joke some pages back that ”back to basics” means showing up and now he’s actually said it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abra Dubravka Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Wouldn't be surprised if he threw in Carroll, Wilson, ASM and Miggy then blame the fans if/when it goes wrong. He says he is going to 'ease' ASM back into the side which means throwing him in at the deep end Didn’t he do that for Wolves away. Got all pissy pre match about fans not liking Bruceball, then threw a hissy fit and filled the team with attackers - Murphy WB, Almiron, Fraser, ASM, Joe, Wilson - and needless to say that didn’t work as it was obvious nobody knew what they were doing.

Guest reefatoon Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Oohh the gloves are off and he hopes to get people forward on the counter attack. Sounds like the same old shit to me. 0-3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LV Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Just how does a manager in 2021, in arguably the best league in the world, get away with this? How does it even happen that he keeps getting employed? And we’re told by these idiot pundits that we’re the problem Unreal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 As long as the players take pride in their aimless performance and give off the impression they're taking part in a football match then that's the full set of basics covered and you can't ask much else tbh.

Abra Dubravka Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Very damming on the Man, the Mollusc, the Myth that is Steve Bruce if he's having to say this... Shouldn't the players already have pride in their performances? Almost as if there isn't a specially hired individual, with a small team working with him, tasked to oversee, and dare say manage individuals motivations and efforts being all collectivised toward a common team goal. Almost as if there is no goal? If many senior professionals no longer have pride in their own performances, it's f***ing obvious he's lost the dressing room. No doubt after Brentford, then Leicester. Almost certainly after Sheff U! Having him come out and say pass the ball to each other is a new low for him, and beyond embarrassing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 It’s ridiculous. Back to basics is the opposite of what he should be doing. He needs to come up with a plan on how to compete with and get the better of managers who are better than him. I’m sick of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing such a thing like that would eat into time that can be well spent on the sofa in your dressing gown watching Gossip Girl and scooping up a tub of yoghurt with Quavers, though. The man's got his priorities to think of. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1pe Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere but we’re the least intensive Premier League team last year and the lowest in the last 5 years. Couple that with our possession stats and it’s a pretty damning assessment and one that will eventually lead to relegation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
