mikeyp102 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 What formation does he normally play? It's one of those, that obviously we all know of a Bruce that his teams are hard to beat, but I can't say I've watched them much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of those, that obviously we all know of a Bruce that his teams are hard to beat, but I can't say I've watched them much last time he was in top flight I think he was playing a 3-5-2 with Elmohammedy and Robertson as wing backs. not sure what he did last season though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villarocker Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 (edited) If indeed is favoured formation at home is 3-5-2 I reckon he might start with something like this: -------------------------------Gollini----------------------------- ----------------Elphick----Chester---Baker-------------------- Bacuna--Jedinak-McCormack--Tshibola--Amavi ----------------------Ayew----Kodjia--------------- Possibly swapping McCormack and Ayew around?

Popular Post Vive_La_Villa Posted October 15, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 15, 2016 I still think way too much emphasis on tactics and formations being our downfall. If you are second to every ball and lack the same level of fight as the opposition then it's irrelevant how you are setup. Bruce's biggest job will be to get these players confident and up for the fight. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce's biggest job will be to get these players confident and up for the fight. It's probably not well known in the UK as much but maybe a little bit with sky showing it the last few years. I'm talking about GAA in Ireland, hurling to be specific. I'm Irish, villa fan 20 years. In the last 15 years, Kilkenny have won 11 championship's and contested 14 of of those finals. Amazing. Every time formations and tactics are put to their manager by the media he always comes back to one thing. Spirit. You don't have it u won't do anything. Their hunger is incredible, year on year, manic savage intensity and tremendous skill. Edited October 15, 2016 by Johnnyp mistake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Songs involving spuds not needed, probably not a good idea to antagonise our new manager. Let's stick to: Steve Bruces claret blue army Brucie, give us a wave... Plus belting out Birmingham, are you listening will be even more fun now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
