Not sure if it's a controversial opinion but I'm very much of the opinion that moving him out of his current position to get him involved further up the pitch is not necessarily the right move. Obviously right now it's very tempting the idea of him getting into the positions Longstaff, Willock and Joelinton regularly find themselves in but why don't we just replace them with better players rather than move Bruno? Such a massive advantage for us having a player who is as fantastic on the ball as he is in that deep role while also being well able to do his job defensively. Obviously wouldn't be surprised if we unleash him further up the pitch and he gets a bunch of goals next year but I do tend to think we'll find it easier to find an attack minded midfielder that can improve us than we will to find someone who offers us what Bruno does in that role.

I mean Froggy is technically British. Possibly why he's such a cunt?

Pleased for him, seems to have worked hard and can see him being a valuable member of the squad for a few years yet as someone to come on and shithouse away the end of games. Did think Gordon looked vastly better mind, wouldn't be surprised to see him start one of the next two games in Murphy's place.

He's surprisingly competitive in the air, been a pleasant surprise as I assumed with his build and style of play he'd be not up to much. Quality headed goal against Wolves, drew the penalty against Forest with a header and had a decent chance today. Really looks like he has it all as a CF prospect, already a very good player and looks like he'll only get better and better.

Ten Haag's zip situation on his outfit is top class, must be said.

Do people honestly expect him to come out and say "we're just not as good as them, Newcastle are amazing" or something?

Think he was trying to make the point that they didn't want it enough, which is fair enough IMO.

Cheers mate, nice to have a Man U fan on the board with a bit of class if only briefly

His running at the full back never led to a goal. The original post was a comment on his burst when running with the ball. Jesus Christ lads, it was a positive post

Aye, just meant in the sense it never directly led to a goal.

Looked like he had that burst back today, few times when he ran at them he looked fucking electric. Never quite came off for him but great to see and the bit of composure to put it on a plate for Willock will hopefully give him a big lift.

Any way we can shithouse Ten Haag's post match interview?

We still wouldn't have put our trousers back on.

I stood up and did his celebration

Seriously, can't wait to see that in real time again. The fucking pace on that cross.

What a fucking cross. Jesus.

Fuck sake, it'll be relentlessly shit if we don't win this.

Steroid Tobias Funke.

Longstaff would be a world class CM if he was able to kick the ball where he wants it to go occasionally.

Maxi looked better today, had that burst.

God I love that goal. Two best players combine to get in behind. ASM does some great teamwork. Willock redeems his misses. Now put these cunts in the ground.

Fucking gorgeous goal you big pack of rides.

Murphy, Willock and ASM, is what I'd guess.

God I hope we leave Isak on.

We'd all hate Burn if he wasn't a Geordie who got hyped up. Also this Murphy thing has run its course, be great if we could bring someone useful on.
