    Absolutely bang on. We have two very ordinary cm players who are very static. With a coach who can’t really motivate a piss up in a brewery.

    West Brom today where a breathe of fresh air and I know they didn’t win. But Jesus they throw every effort into it. Chelsea spent 250m and already had a billion pound squad and that’s what ultimately came undone for wb. But it just shows you if you have a go. You might get rewards.

    He’s clart and a 90s cm. he’s not good enough for that role in this day and age. You can’t rely on a Hollywood pass in a team of cloggers.

    You do realise it's a press conference, not a pre-match game team talk. No manager goes into those telling the opposition manager how he's going to set up and what he is going to try to do.

    It doesnt matter my point is that I've noticed this vibe he gives off. He's in too much ore of the other clubs. I don't like it that's all. I'd be very surprised if he's bright enough to be rallying troops and filling them with confidence behind this public smokescreen of defeatest thoughts, but yes I take your point.

    Its psychology 101. Build up the opposition in public to lull them into a false sense of security and take the pressure off your own players, then use that same argument to motivate your own players during the team talks and preparation.

    Does Bruce seem like the type of guy to be using psychology tactics?

    I think he's just a nice bloke

    Every manager from Sunday League to Champions League does it so I don’t see why he wouldn’t.

    Probably a bit of an exaggeration but have you actually heard any managers get up at a press conference and say - we should stuff this lot. They big up the opposition, warn about guarding against complacency, say there are no easy games at this level. Its partly to cover their own arses and to take the pressure off their own players.

    Spurs are set up to score on the break. Kane drops back to midfield pulling centre backs with him and he then releases a lot of clever balls over the top for Son to run on to.

    This definitely isnt the game to play a high pressing game which is good because we dont know how to. I would definitely play 5 at back and a midfield full of running.

    my point was that it's ott with bruve.. I stand by bit.. he's always as it even outside of pressers and I rarely hear him saying much about how great this club is or the players.. it's an observation I've made over his tenure... oh you know how it us up here blah blah blah.. I don't like it

    I hope he gets a response this week...
