If I were manager, which I am not, I'd fight fire with fire and let superior quality take effect.Three words would adorn my tactical white board: press, press and press (without the and natch).The full backs, De Laet and Taylor would have higher starting positions.Elphick (nose held) would start (gulp).Onomah and Angela would be tasked with aggression and told to alternate in attacking the box and press g right onto their number 10. If they should happen to leave one on him, oh well. I would tell them to lay a glove or two on their deep lying play maker. If he has two touches of the ball without being lamped we're not working hard enough.I'd play O'Hare and Grealish and Adomah and tell them that formations are for defending and we won't be doing much of that. I'd have the full backs angrily shake their fists at them should they think of letting poor little Hogan be more than 10 yards from any one of them.But I'm not and who knows. Tough game. Hope we win, we certainly need to.
I actually think we'll sneak this one 1-2 and it will earn Bruce yet another stay of execution.

Hope we win, we certainly need to.A lot of what you put there is how I want to see us approach games. What I don't get is how you can put something like that whilst also thinking that Bruce is the right manager for us or is doing a good job.As for the game I'm really not sure, given the way they've mugged us the last few times it's hard to be overly confident but I actually think we'll sneak this one 1-2 and it will earn Bruce yet another stay of execution.
