Steve Bruce Trying Quotations

We had to restore the attitude of being hard to beat. Over the past 18 months we've tried to change that philosophy because you try to improve by getting in better players and trying to play more open, attractive football. We had to go back to basics and to do that I had to rely on players who have been with me a long time. I always know what I'm going to get off them and they gave everything they could.

We were just chasing the game and trying to do something about it. Liverpool picked us off at will...They were a far, far superior team on the night.
