RobsonsWonderland Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 They had 3 players around him at all times but if that's the case he should have pulled them out of position to free space up for others. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 He wasn't the bad, half the time when the fans are shouting at him he's doing something that turns out to be good He made a couple of avoidable errors, granted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Bit OTT, he was still Bruno, just a bit knackered. A lot of the good that we did cam through Bruno. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis H Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I went for something a bit different in the aftermath of the final. It’s very good for £12. I noticed after purchase that the one on the site didn’t have a Nike tick so that’s a nice bonus. (I know he hasn’t been 39 for Brazil, accuracy isn’t the point) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 At least he was trying some creative passes. They didn't come off much but it's better to have a player having a go. Sometimes you have to criticize the receiver's positioning as well. Or the run they take which might make the pass just a little harder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 15 hours ago, Lush Vlad said: His passing was poor. But it’s worth pointing out he’s one of our only players who even attempts through balls. Which is what most of the ‘bad’ passes were. What’s the average success rate for those? Very low I would have thought. Less than 30-40%? He seemed to be forcing it a bit and massively telegraphing it all the while, though. Which meant Lewis Potter or Pinnock just picked them off. He was also back to hanging onto it a bit too long. So the window to pass it had gone. Meaning our player was offside or the defender had closed off the space. I don’t think he was “dogshit” or “rotten” however. That seems hyperbolic in the extreme. Aye. There’s a massive difference between an attempt to break the lines and a ten yarder to the opposition under no pressure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Other people are alluding to this with their posts, but I reckon it's worth remembering that Messi was regularly near the bottom of pass completion % in La Liga because he was constantly trying passes to break the lines. I don't mind failed passes when the risk vs reward is worth it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Bruno but I'm not sure whether this is really a positive stat. He often looks to draw fouls that don't really gain us anything and just break up our play, and about once a match or so he tries that, doesn't get the foul, and loses the ball in a dangerous area.
