Change of formation/tactics

[Geordie1974]

Here is my take on it.I dont think Bruce will change the tactics as he is getting away in the media with referencing Rafa all the time.Saying they have played that way for so long it's hard to change.Its deflecting criticism from his door
Put that with the fact he is useless and not capable.This excuse,he never gets questioned on it.Are we destined to play this way for ever then as any future coach under Ashley will be 3rd rate and not able to change things.Oh the future is bright.

For him to say that is totally embarrassing. He's back to his 'robots' prattle. The players have been programmed by Rafa (apparently) to play this way and Bruce tried to change the formation of the team twice and we played badly.

So basically he's admitting that he couldn't get the team to play well using his own tactics on two occasions.

A word, Steve,............ that's your fault and not Rafa's.

We only started playing 5/3 at the back last season...All the players have spent longer playing with 4 at the back...

Bruce is employed to manage the first team and he admits he can't. ..

cant play that formation or wont

most the players rafa brought were defence minded players and those that werent were sold on

yet steve is tsill getting better stats for shots on goal etc

we should applaud him that he wants to play a more attacking style and trying to deliver it
Rafas system could put a galss eye to sleep

He isn't getting better stats...he's just managed more points so far...

Applaud him for saying something he's not capable of delivering?

If it's Rafa's system then surely they are Rafa's points...

Stop talking b0ll0x..

I really don't mean to be a bother, but putting a space after each finished sentence would really make it easier to read your posts.

Anyway I got through it and it's absolutely spot on! Bruce had had a few go's at Rafa until he then started playing the exact same way as Rafa - only with less intelligence in my opinion.

None of them has played particularly entertaining football, but Rafa could be trusted. Bruce cannot.

How about, Dubravkar, Darlow, Elliot, Schar Fernandez, Lascelles, Clark, LeJeune, Yedlin, Ritchie and a traffic cone up front. Who knows, we might score a couple.

yes rafa run the club backwards got rid of an excellent scouting network and replaced it with what ??
got rid of the under 23 s and replaced it with what

trust him
he knew he was going to china months before the end of his contract

how can you trust a turncote like that

if anyone thinks ash wasnt aware he was discussing terms etc whilst negotiating with ash then your a fool

no he definatly is getting better satats
and dont you make your self look silly whan the only stat that does count is the points

you say it your self

how foolish to say he isnt a better or as good as manager as RA£Awhen clearly in bruces first few months he has got more points than RA£A did

a geordie and all supposed geordie supporters do is slate him over a spaniard who talked a lot and delivered very little
