Bruce will be desperately trying to work out how he can adopt a 4-6-0 formation without upsetting the slavering natives that could be mistaken for an ancient Germanic tribe.
 
There’s enough decent players in that team, and worse teams in the division for you to stay up. You just need a manager to get them organised and play as a unit. And there’s the rub.

Dunno like, usual manky start to the season, the look to the team just seemed a bit disjointed, , a few flashes but the speed merchants in the team look just that, all frills and nee knickers.
 
It was a typical Rafa performance against the top 6 but I bet the fans criticise it much more than they did when Rafa was in charge.


Bang on. They'll criticise the lack of ambition and rigid tactics - ignoring the fact that's exactly how Rafa set up against the big teams.

Rafa had very little success either, they beat Man City but lost all the other 11 games against the top 6 last season.

Spot on. That was no different to rafa but they wont see it.

I ave an ekwivalent grasp of spellins as Bruce has of futborl tactics ...

Arsenal only kept 1 clean sheet all season away from home last season .... and I bet their back 4 and team in general in fact was worse today than any lineup they had last season ........
