READ NEWCASTLE VERDICT
Larsson played under Steve Bruce during the 2006/07 season, which does make you wonder how he can be so sure that he is a good tactician 12 years later.
Football is an evolving sport, with new styles, philosophies and technology being introduced regularly, so to claim that Bruce is as good a tactician as he was over a decade ago without any proof from recent years is baffling.
The opinion of an ex-Sunderland player is also, clearly, not going down too well with the Newcastle faithful.
