Bruce recently claimed he’d been unable to name Allan Saint-Maximin, Ryan Fraser, Callum Wilson and Miguel Almiron in the same team due to illness and injury – and then when he’s able to do so v Southampton, opts not to.
Here’s what else NUFC fans are talking about on Twitter...
@_AWTB – “Moans about hardly having the opportunity to play ASM and Fraser together then drops Fraser when ASM starts…”
@ColmRose94 – “It's genuinely sad to see the Longstaff brothers being ruined by Steve Bruce. Both got massive potential, both talented, and both not even in the squad today. Clueless, moronic management.”

@andrewsneill – “Bruce has complained that he's never had the opportunity to start ASM and Fraser together for #nufc quite a few times this season. First opportunity and he drops one to the bench. Seems odd...”
