Hayden can be decent but the rest range from bang average, bad, atrocious, badly out of form etc. We've also never really replaced what Diame did for us under Rafa, even though even he was criticised fairly often. Then again Rafa had Hayden and Sean Longstaff looking like world beaters. We were in the market for a midfielder in the summer and Bruce chose the cheap option in Hendrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree about him playing him on the wing. I'm not trying to make any excuses for how shite Bruce is, but obviously Ashley has to take some of the blame for us scrapping the bottom of the barrel. Of course Rafa or any other manager worth their salt would likely have found something better under the same restrictions, and again not subsequently played them out of position.

Aye, we’re not going to be challenging for the title under Ashley but a progressive manager with £100m+ to spend over the last couple of seasons would at least have seen us playing in the top half of the table. Instead we’re once again in a relegation battle. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 30642 Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 So the pundits’ verdict (Redknapp and Darren Bent) is that he doesn’t have the players, doesn’t have the academy, there was no plan or tactics, the players weren’t playing, nothing will change until there’s a takeover but Bruce is in no way at fault. Fuck off. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isegrim 9800 Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Ashley is obviously not interested in watching matches anymore. How Bruce gets away spouting shite is unbelievable. I said it before but even Trump spoke more sense than this plonker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
