Heron Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I think he's been fairly outstanding these last 3 or 4 weeks. I seem to be watching a different game to others I know though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 The slow thing is funny. People noticed it early doors... and then other people ridiculed the observation. I think people have finally landed that he is a bit slow. But what a fantastic player. He has a great overall engine, is aggressive, makes fantastic runs, he's definitely mobile but the actual speed of his running is fairly slow. Even at his best, Longstaff is similar (in terms of engine and making runs). Get some athleticism around Bruno and understanding and the midfield quality shoots up. This lad is brilliant.

nufcjmc Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Not probably saying anything new here I guess turn of pace isn't there but stamina and conditioning must be through the roof his heat maps regularly see him all over the place and it feels like he has played every minute this season. Also this isn't a criticism of say Gordan but he doesn't need to knock it forward and get into a foot race with anyone his close control is top notch he will just go through you or spin around you. While the number of cards maybe doesn't paint this side of him very well but he is great at drawing a foul out of people knowing when to shield the ball and offer the body up to draw a foul is a particular skill itself. I know some will say if we cash in it allows a rebuild I just think what he has in spades isn't something you will get from many other players.

It hasn't been perfect, but it has been very impressive. 5 hours ago, captainhaircut said: He always seems to run much faster going forward than when he has to chase back towards our own goal… I think he tries to save himself for big moments in the game. He knows he can't do it all the time. I think the first goal was perfect for him as it was early in the game, there was a big opening and he was clearly vital to it succeeding i.e. he burnt up maximum energy.

Kanji Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Bruno def did not look slow at all busting his ass to get into that position on the Isak goal. He was about that quick too when he scored that epic header v Leicester at home. He def isn't busting a lung heading back to goal to defend....

I’ve observed this in many other sports. A player who isn’t quick at all, but seems to think and react quicker than other players. Thus covering up for his lack in physical speed. Luka Doncic/Nikola Jokic come to mind. I think Bruno’s skill set will age very well. If your mind is quick and you can read it he game, then you already have a few steps on other players. Obviously not comparing him to the above basketball players as they are far more accomplished in their sport than Bruno is so far. The footballers who come to mind for me are Kroos and Modric. Can still impact a match but even though they have lost a few steps. Edited March 5 by Sufi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
