Scotty66 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Also CB's are much better at stopping him than full backs. CB's are stronger and taller and he doesn't stand a chance against them at the number 10 position. Full backs are generally pacey players with high stamina who like to push high and leave space behind them. This is exactly what Saint maximin needs. Even if they double up on him out wide it means there is a space somewhere in the middle to exploit (if the players were coached well enough to spot it) It's just piss poor management. I mean, really really bad. Don't even get me started on the long high ball from deep to Wilson "because he can run fast" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 The tactical use of him makes my eyes bleed. Oppo managers have clearly said right he gets the ball so deep that we can just foul him. Him trying to maradona 86 everyone everytime does not work. Put him high and wide where defenders are less likely to want to give away free kicks. This. If anyone is more suited to a no.10 role it’s Almiron. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 I'm pretty sure this only came about because ASM scored that wonder goal running through the middle vs Burnley. What Bruce failed to realise is ASM was still playing from the left that game and just went and found the space at the time. Just like he did coming from the right for his assist in the same game. No point overthinking things though. Bruce doesn't do "Tactics" as he stated himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candi_Hills Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 There is room on the left as Murphy isn't good enough yet. I think Murphy will come good in a year or so. Murphy is 25. He won't make it at this level as long as his spinach comes out his sphincter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 The whole charade is all falling to pieces now. No one bails him out more than Saint-Maximin, and so our chances of fluking results are pretty much slim to none now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Bruce need only look at the win% with and without ASM. He's fucked without him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Get talented player, misuse him, annoy him, drop him, blame him. It’s one of the classics. It’s like the Tories with any public service. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinoasprilla Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Bruce had no idea what to do with Ben arfa and Grealish too. If I could be arsed there will be more in his managerial career but cabbage head not the effort Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Any news what his situation is? Well I heard a rumour 2-3 weeks ago he had a bust up with Bruce and stormed out of training. Hasn't played since then. Haven't even mentioned it as I thought nowt of it, your post just reminded me of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Could be best for everyone for him to go if Bruce doesn’t know how to use him. Would go down as just another stupid signing that doesn’t have any thought for the football side of the club and isn’t joined up with who the manager is.

xLiaaamx Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 He's got 6 years on his contract, Bruce has 1 and a half. I'd rather we didn't get rid of ASM. It's like when Carver was allowed to release Ben Arfa despite not being our permanent manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 I guess. Chances are someone equally useless will come in after Bruce. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
