Bruce's big mistake tonight

Who should have played in the middle instead?

Agreed about the right hand side and baines. He has set up the majority of cahill's headed goals so that threat should had been known by the management. Was hick far too much space.

There wasn't much option in the middle if Hendo wasn't starting - Zenden or Steed (or Richardson?).


As for Cahill's headers, tbf, he's well-known to all teams, and still gets those goals.
 
I was extremely agitated second half, (even when we were winning) as their goal was coming, yet Bruce chose to do reactive subs after the goal rather than proactive before.
TBF most managers seem reluctant to change things that early when winning.

No-one can say what would have happened but I would have taken Rico off after 60mins as he looked completely shot (yes I am aware of the goal), put Steed in the middle, Hendo out right and Bolo out left and see if that balanced better.
If we still looked leggy then I would have brought Elmo on for whoever looked off the pace the most, and adjusted accordingly.
