Sure he played higher up the pitch when he first came and Shelvey was the deep lying player. He popped up with a few goals as well when we avoided relegation.

100% this. It's been a big option we've been eschewing for a long time. Pretty sure, based on interviews, Guimaraes thinks of it as his favourite position too.

Whoever plays at the base of the midfield needs to be able to control games and calm things down when needed, it’s what we’ve always lacked and I think it’s clear now that Bruno isn’t that guy. Even when we’re in good form our games get too chaotic for my liking. I’ve 100% come round to the idea of a DM.

I wonder if Howe has, as well? I hope so.

On the team sheet he did, on the pitch he just bossed the middle and would tell Shelvey where he wanted him.

Don’t agree, Bruno is brilliant in the middle position. We just need people who can run, pass and control the ball to put with him. 
 

The signing of Tonali very much suggests Bruno is staying at 6.

Is Bruno wasted in his position at the minute. When Tonali was playing a lot of people were saying it wasn’t working with him and Bruno so maybe next season(if Bruno’s still here) could be:

 

    Tonali.     New Cm.     Bruno.

There's such a drop off from Bruno. Not even sure who our next best passer would be, Trippier? Always envious of teams like Liverpool who seem to be overflowing with the bastards.

These teams unfortunately have years, sometimes decades of football DNA which carries from the top to the bottom.

 

We will get there one day, hopefully.

Yes, I've got no serious criticisms of how he handles his current role. It's just a question of whether he'd be more devastating if he spends more time closer to the opposition's goal. I'm sure he would. We'd need new players or a tactical rethink to do that though.

Or just have other people who are devastating near the oppositions goal, or sign people who can keep possession so that Bruno can also advance with more confidence. 
 

Arguably we already have those people, they’re just injured.
