The blame must go where it belongs - with the manager and his staff. So far they have ruined/pissed off/got rid of - Hogan, Lansbury, Hourahane, Ayew, Tsibola, McCormack, Gollini, Gestede and Amavi. That's virtually an entire team. This^ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are mitigating circumstances for most of those players. 3 of them haven't been here very long at all and in Lansbury's case I think he's been playing well. Gestede was shit, Gollini and McCormack had attitude problems it seems. Ayew I like but is clearly a very divisive player. Bruce has not done a good job for the past two months, but I think to have a pop at him for the above feels agenda driven, or at least confirmation biased. He's building his own squad, which means some players will fall by the wayside. It's the nature of the beast with any new manager. Which I guess is why you should give them time wherever possible.

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Hopefully he has bedded in some more, takes confidence from the goal and start performing to the top of his capabilities. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrytini Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Three stunning passes. By accident or design he suddenly, what, 10 minutes or so into the second half, decided (or was allowed?) to start playing football and looked the real class act he is.

Jareth Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Just on the goal, he was in the right place and powered it in to the net - we haven't had a midfielder do that for a looooooooong time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
