xLiaaamx Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 When ASM talked about playing in the middle, he probably assumed the team would move the ball quick enough so he wasn't against their whole team when he got it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafalove Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Easy to forget how badly Bruce had him looking before he went out, by moving him centrally and into crowded areas, and so totally negating his threat to run at people out wide. Loads were having a go at ASM at the time. We're screwed Tbf, it was Maxi’s idea wasn’t it? Apparently, but he was hardly suffering playing on the wing. He was outstanding there. And so, once playing through the middle didn't work after the first couple of times or so then it is the manager's responsibility to change it and let the player know it's better for himself and the team. Bruce appears to not even be able to do that. I mean how inept is this guy exactly?! But wasn’t he injured after only a couple of games there? Don’t think Bruce has had the chance to put him back on the wing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he’s daft, because there’s absolutely nothing in Bruce’s history to suggest that would be the case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aiston Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Made a couple of runs, never really went for it. Clearly unfit, don't think he came into our half once. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty66 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I do feel for Gayle, Bruce saying about needing ASM and Fraser back on the pitch for more goals and Gayle has hardly had a look in. Would like to see him and Wilson upfront actually and also think ASM would be able to create chances for both of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abra Dubravka Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Bruce talking out his arse, the sob-story about missing 'certain players' and ASM in recent weeks is going to create division within the squad - both towards Bruce himself, and the likes of ASM. Gayle's probably been treated like dirt over recent years by the club. Would imagine he's had deals to leave permanently lined up, but the club won't stump up their end on wages - all the while he knows he's not fancied by the manager. Now can't get a start despite being fit, and even Wilson not scoring anymore, all the while Bruce is talking up ASM as the savior! He's going to be thinking ASM is a golden boy, who's getting away with heading back to France etc. and Bruce is a total dosser. Dressing room must be a total mess. Gayle, Yedlin unclear of their futures for past 18months+, likes of Atsu, Lazaar, Saviet, Aarons who aren't even registered that can't get moves away. Senior pros who were genuinely decent under Rafa now scratching their heads to wtf The SteveBearBunch are doing to the side/their careers. Read between lines, can see Lejune wanted out rather than stay another year (that'll add resentment to likes of Gayle, Yedlin who can't get moves), can see Schar keen to move, Almiron's agent cherping up before Christmas...

Consortium of one Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 and when it all falls apart Cabbagehead will blame the fans for everything.
