samptime29 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 My big issue is against the weaker teams. No problem with being uber defensive, and trying to hit teams on counter/score from free kicks and corners against the stronger teams. We've picked up a decent amount of points against City, Spurs, Man Utd, Chelsea etc. The problem is we play exactly the same against the weaker teams. Bruce needs to improve our possession and attacking coherence against the less able teams. It's the same "plan" against every single team and that makes no sense.

Tiresias Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 He's genuinely gone from start of the season rafa was to negative i can get them playing attacking football, to rafa coached them too much they can't attack anymore to I'm a genius their defensive performance is all my idea and now to i can't get them all to attack and even pass because they're all shit players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Hasenhuttl & Potter have done alright changing their styles of play pretty much overnight, what’s Bruce’s real excuse? Forget Norwich and Brighton, we were getting outplayed by a third division team on Tuesday night. By outplayed, I'm not talking about the final score, I'm talking about doing the basics in player movement and passing. In the second half we ended up booting the ball out long just to relieve the pressure. Oxford didn't have the quality finishers to capitalise, otherwise you could hardly argue that we looked the better side. Bruce's pathetic excuse that our players aren't good enough looked pretty desperate in context. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Oxford look much more comfortable on the ball than us. Ashley is the real problem and Steve Bruce is shite, we don’t need to pick one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribesman Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Its not like anyone is expecting Bruce to get the team playing like Barcelona. Just some structured football, patterns of play and players knowing their roles would be fine, but there has been no evidence of that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paully Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Richie de Laet “It is a massive club but I never got going at Villa,” he says. “The injury was a terrible time, then I couldn’t get into the side. Steve Bruce wasn’t my cup of tea. The football was similar to Tony Pulis but at least Tony had a plan. I remember Steve would throw the ball into the middle in training and say, ‘Let’s play’, like we were under-nines. It was crazy.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so obvious from watching us play too. We have no idea what we're doing. All just a bunch of criminals. Shocking stuff. A seriously depressing quote. Really bad Just imagine how little the guy cares man. He played at a top club in Man Utd, and under a phenomenal manager. Imagine all the potential contacts he has throughout the world of football. He's in a fortunate position in that he has managed to establish himself as a manager in the game, and so all he really needs to do is just have young coaches under him that are really into the technical part of the game that he can lean on to really get his teams playing. There'd be so many willing to with the contacts he could tap into. Ferguson as good as he was always had really good coaches from the continent working with him such as Meulensteen and Quieroz. Bruce has no regard or respect for the club. Just happy to have the profile and collect the cheque that comes with being a premier league manager, while sucking up to the media so that they don't criticise him. Saw a tweet earlier today that we have the worst possession in all of Europe ... I mean, can you even imagine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Honestly worse than Sunday league Can confirm this. We've got a works 5aside going in the last few weeks. I can't play atm cos of a knee niggle, but I 'ref' (keep score), just to stay involved. I did that chucking the ball into the middle of the pitch thing tonight, so it's good to know I'm on a par with Bruce. That said I did accidentally twat it off a ceiling light so I'm probably still slightly worse. Slightly, like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
