I absolutely love this mad bloke. He rinsed them to pieces yesterday, gets his goal, does a classic # of different celebrations post goal then yells to away fans "IM FUCKING STAYING"

But our 2 CB's destroy both Spurs CB's with the ball by a far far far margin.

Again, fair points. Of course they would do all that, but its the simple stuff he wasn't doing much of - he thrives in the 50/50s and being engaged and having to fight his way out and play a ball - that's the very reason why he's so press resistant and so highly rated. It's the duels that he generally wins and then what he does after. All of which has seen him sky rocket to the very top and become a key Brazil national player. You don't just get that type of praise and recognition beating teams that allow you the freedom of the pitch.

Not losing a wink of sleep over a release clause, if someone is paying 100M+ for Bruno that means he's been playing brilliantly for us and that probably means we're at the top end of the table in CL or Europa form. Further, it's up to him to leave at that point.

I think he's been good as well, but I'd argue in games where we needed him to absolutely destroy the opposition (esp lower sides) he hasn't really done that. Yesterday reminded me of him last season pre World Cup and the end of his first season with us when he was just cooking all over.

Peak NO after 8-0 win to find the right time to suggest hatred for a song

Id play him right wing.

He’s back.

Amazing, amazing player. Keep it up lad. First name on the team sheet.

Thought he was the best I’ve seen from him in ages. Was the player I saw in preseason. He’s gotta use his strength and brain to his advantage because he’s really damn good. He’s got quite a unique way he shifts the ball and creates space for himself.

Only our own fans get super paranoid about a guy signing a great and expensive contract with a 9 figure release clause. CHILL MAN.

Would genuinely just attempt at Tonali as the 6 and Bruno as the 8 next match. Bruno has the experience under Howe to know exactly where to be in the 8 role and Tonali could actually be told to simply play the 6 role as he acclimates to new surroundings.

Tbh there’s no way an expansion of that kind could be done anytime before 3 years anyway.

nah because must win to me feels more like “we don’t win it’s toast for us” where as I’m simply stating a team of our ambition and goals needs to win these games.

Everyone fast to jump to conclusions and then you come to find out he’s had one training session in a month. Wow.

Its not a must win, but if we have any desire to compete in the top 4-7 places again this season we should be going to Sheffield and coming away with 3 points. Yes we did it a bit differently last season but you can only look at what’s in front of you. And we’re a better football team and have top aspirations.

I forget but where did he play last two seasons on average in that midfield?

He was truly incredible versus Villa.

Botman Island is GOAT’d

Mate 100%. the way he’s covering passing lanes, bullying attackers, you’re not even trying. for the American football fans here this is like Peak Darrell Revis covering half a field.

He’s an elite CB. It’s clear as day to me.

I love a scrappy home win and clean sheet like.

Ahhh get in.

So dumb

Was the best penalty I’ve seen anyone take in our shirt bar shearer.
