Ikon Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Why do I get the feeling that Bruce will come up with a fuck you kind of line up. Like a 3-5-2 with more or less no defensive players Or some other similar extra weird shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a 3-5-2 with more or less no defensive players Or some other similar extra weird shit. It’ll stick a team out that’ll ‘respond’ to criticism. 442 or some such like. And he’ll come out after a loss and say ‘I did what people wanted, and look at the result’ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Why do I get the feeling that Bruce will come up with a f*** you kind of line up. Like a 3-5-2 with more or less no defensive players Or some other similar extra weird s***. It’ll stick a team out that’ll ‘respond’ to criticism. 442 or some such like. And he’ll come out after a loss and say ‘I did what people wanted, and look at the result’ He said thats what he's been doing for 18 months, from now on its his way, which starts tomorrow night.

TRon Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Doesn't matter what formation he puts out, we'll still end up with 10 players in our own half for the majority of the game. Anyone who thinks he'll set out to get after Arsenal is in for a rude shock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 To Bruce it's only about picking the players for each game. Nothing more needed to be a manager. The rest is the players fault, or something or someone else's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who thinks he'll set out to get after Arsenal is in for a rude shock. Exactly, the formation is completely irrelevant if the instructions are to sit deep, don't press (ever) and just lump it forward when we get it.

I don't think he'll set out to get after Arsenal, I just think he'll do something stupid as a protest, something that will take away the very last tiny chance of us winning.

CalmintheChaos Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 How many times have we even gone in at half time this season having scored a goal?! Twice? Three times? in 18 games. I don’t expect anything different tonight and I don’t think the players will “throw him under the bus” or anything like that. We have thought he has lost the dressing room in the past then they came out all guns blazing getting stuck in against Liverpool for example. I reckon it will be same old and a narrow battling defeat 1 or 2 nil. God forbid we might even take a lead for once before they come back to beat us.

GWN Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Our football goes like this..... Kick off, let them have it till 40 yards out, advance towards opposition, try and get it off them, fail, retreat. Match runs mostly like that against EVERY team Now if we kick off it goes, pass to CM , passes it wide right or left, back to him, back to CB , across to RB or LB back to CB , hoof forward to JL or Wilson, possession lost RETREAT . EVERY f***ing MATCH possession lost and on the back foot within 2 mins .It stays like that till 90mins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willow Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 We're always the team to play when the opposition have to get back to winning ways, so I'm hoping for a 3-0 loss with Bruce getting sent to the stands after flicking bits of kebab at Arteta Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
