He ruin's the flow of the game at rb but Bruce is clearly just trying to fit him in. I agree with this. I think he ruined our flow last season too—it was a bit of a blessing in disguise when he was injured. I was all for him coming in but not as a RB. I've been very patient with the manager and one defeat isn't going to change that for me, but a few decisions have seemed a bit bonkers: the shoehorning in and signing of Tuanzebe is one thing I can't get my head around. It would make sense if he was a CB and was actually played as a CB, but the very last thing we needed was another RB, particularly one who isn't a RB and doesn't really seem to want to go forwards. Just play him at CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 He is not a right back, everyone...and I mean everyone could see that after his first two games last season. He isn't nearly enough comfortable on the ball. He shouldn't be playing there. It isn't his fault. He isn't a right, he has never been a right back, he will never be a right back, stop playing him right back. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfcwills10 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I'm guessing we probably have some sort of clause from United where he has to play... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even left side centre back he's technically out of position. A centre half being comfortable on his correct side is more important that people think.

Why sign him, with a must-play clause, if the most consistent player at the club already fills that position? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly!!!!! Whole thing is a complete mess. Yesterday was a disgrace, didn't even have it in my to shout for Bruces head because I was so perplexed. It's all well and good Bruce saying he didn't want to 'sign players for the sake of it', or they 'had to be the right ones' or whatever but not having a centre back or left back is going to kill us. In my opinion, it almost makes Bolasie, Abraham, keeping Grealish etc redundant because what the point with the defence and goalkeeper that we have? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's even morr perplexing is that he let not only Elphick, but a couple of young defenders leave, so we can't even raid the U23's for a solution. The fact he has put us in such a situation is tantamount to gross negligence. I understand to need to get the right people in, but surely to god it can't be that hard to find a CB better than Mile Jedinak? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has ruined the transfer window.. nearly already ruined the season and yet there are still idiots defending him to stay in the job. Time to wake up? - Sack Him!

Demitri_C Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 The guys stubborn he refuses to change. This reminds me of the 3-5-2 situation it failed evey tine and continued with it and then finally agreed it was a disaster The other thing that's pissing me off with this is jedinak is being missed in dm. Why not play axel at cb and play Elmo or bree at rb ffs? Accept the jedinak cb experiment has failed and play him in his natural position like axel.

Gave the ball away five times in five minutes today, while under no pressure at all. Slows us down going forward, and doesn’t look like a natural full back. We have a surplus of specialist right backs who are better at the position. There really is no need for him to play there. That's cause he's a CB. 21 hours ago, KHV said: Can we terminate his loan? He is awful. He has the same level of awareness as me after I have had 10 pints of Stella! Why? Cause he has looked shakey being played out of his natural position and then lambasted with stupid comments like this! Some of our fans are now becoming as clueless as Bruce perhaps?

striker Posted September 3, 2018 Visiting Supporter Share Posted September 3, 2018 I wonder what Jose thinks of his young centre back constantly being played at FB? Must be ok with it re-loaning him so Tuanzebe must not be in the Utd managers long term plans. Bruce is going to ruin the lads confidence constantly playing him out of position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
