Bruce left blue by “naive” Brummies

STEVE BRUCE turned the air blue as his “naive” Birmingham side stumbled out of the cauldron of Goodison Park.

Bruce believes his own players were largely to blame for giving the Everton crowd a reason to get behind their team and roar them onto victory.

The home supporters were angry when Mikael Forssell played on, despite Birmingham substitute Garry O’Connor being on the ground with an injury.
