    Tell you something else: Almiron is always a fast break threat that must make some lower teams think twice about pouring everyone into their attacks.

    Hope the approach to games continues to balance more towards attack so we're not defending for 90% of the match.

    That has been the huge difference. Not having to defend for such long periods.

    Bruce never seemed to get it into his head that the time you are not defending you are attacking or preparing to.

    Old style managers like Bruce have it drilled into them that it’s hard to score a goal so after taking the lead, they sit back and play (what they think) is the percentage game.
    Today, the players are so much better technically and physically this is no longer the case and, if you sit back and offer not even a counter attack threat it’s a matter of time till the equalizer comes.
