He said at the end of last season that he should have refreshed the side with so many games more often then picks Jedi again.

Jesus what does he have to do to realise Jedi isn’t a centre half and Axel isn’t a right back.

He’s made a rod for his own back. Bruce just won’t fucking change. Why on earth continue to play a CB at RB, a DM at CB and he’s even gone and stuck Grandpa Whelan in at CM. He’ll be chasing shadows. And where the fuck is RDL?

Jedi and Whelan both on park. FFS they're going to beat us aren't they?

Seems like we've learnt nothing from previous games against decent footballing sides. Whelan and Jedinak on the pitch? Way too immobile

Unlikely I know, but could be Tuanzebe in the middle, Hutton left and Elmo right back, with Jedi in midfield.

So a centre midfielder at centre back, a centre back at right back, a right back at right wing, this looks very poor against a side who play like a team. Centre of the park looks dangerously slow.

I've had Chester to score anytime and Villa to win @ 20/1

It's the Villa win bit that worries me!
