In the 94th minute. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have enjoyed more points v top 6 last season and a more cautious outlook is needed and we showed that yesterday without going to Bruceball extremes. However he always sets up the same v Man. City or Burnley. I think the play offs in 17/18 summed him up. Destructive and slow midfield was good enough to see off Boro as they were of similar set up but we were then exposed first half v Fulham playing exactly the same way against far more technical and mobile midfield as their winning goal showed. Simply can't adapt as he's not a very hands on manager/coach so just sets up his teams in a easy way and then hopes a Saint Maximn can create a chance in final third out of little for him or Wilson to finish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can add in other villa fans telling you to be happy with the shite football as well. Never been less interested in us than with Steve Bruce's guff in the championship. If we win nothing this season (very likely) I want to have enjoyed watching us at least. You'll take the odd sneaky 1 or 2 goal win you don't deserve every so often, they can be a nice bonus. But when they're your only hope of points because the manager has zero ambition to try and play, they get boring fast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Home tie against a lower league team? "All men behind the ball and keep it tight lads. I reckon we can nick a goal on the break." For the love of God don't press them they can really hurt us. Ryan Woods made himself a millionaire off the back of Steve Bruce shitting his pants at the thought of pressing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might work if you're not a very ambitious club like Newcastle, as you'll together enough points to survive. We saw it with Villa. We play any team in the top half or top 6, and he sets up this way. Playoff final, the one game where you uh...kinda have to set up to win, same thing. We lost more than we won in those situations. It's why we never spent more than a week in the top 2 in his 2 years there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa89 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Cabbage 101 so far against chelsea. Give the opposition 80% of the possession and then hope by some miracle you scramble something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I think they look worse than last season. Typical Bruce really. Spends more money but the team seems to regress. Outsiders for bottom 3 I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I didn't realise he is only 23 as well thought he was a few years older. A real edge on your seat player like Ashley Young used to be. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
