New to the league, country etc. I think its pretty reasonable to think he might need to be bedded in over a couple of weeks.


 

also a fair point and what is happening, managed the right way in my opinion.

Did he look like he was intimidated or not fitting in during the 6 minutes he played?  Did he seem overwhelmed or unsure?

 

 

He looked fucking great. Get his ass into the squad. Unless Eddie sees something that concerns him, get him in the game.

Gotta say, he looked like he wasn't quite on the pace for this one.  Maybe came on slightly undercooked, which is understandable.  Must be shite being the big man stuck on the bench for 90 minutes. 

 

But even still, he was faultless and every contribution was rock fucking solid.  Ball win and instant pass to ASM and the committed header to win the freekick.  

 

Cannot wait to see him start a game.

I now, I know, early days, but he didn't look very athletic to me, which is bit worrying?  (Ducks for cover.)

 

 

He's played about 10 minutes over two games like, there's early days and then there's that :lol:

He isn’t athletic at all. That’s his biggest weakness. He covers a lot of ground but isn’t the quickest. I’ve said it before but he’s going to have to have someone next to him to do most of the running.

I just don't get it. Good enough for Brazil but Newcastle..? Nah we've got Joelinton. Watch and learn.

Don't get me wrong, I like our squad and are happy to see our midfield. 

But Bruno is one of, if not THE best player we have. 

Must feel like an insult just to play the last minutes of a game. 

How is he suppose to acclimatize when the game is about clearing the ball in panic and defending a lead? Makes no sense

He's picking/keeping a winning team. Bruno will get his chance man, chill out.

Think it was obvious that Howe had his hands tied this game given the 2 forced subs due to injuries. I would have imagined he would have got more minutes today if the injuries

Ridiculous amount of empty lines removed.

Not sure on the rules around yellows these days but both Shelvey and Jo had their 5th today, so you'd think he'd get a chance. Great management from Eddie tbh, the players are running through walls for him and it'd be gutting to play well, win and lose your place. Bruno will get his chance soon and no doubt cement a first-team place.

Deadline for five bookings was GW19. You need ten to get suspended now I believe.

You need 10 for a suspension now i think.

Ah I see - thank you. Still think he'll get a start in the next couple of games and will fly from there, once he's in he'll be staying in (fitness permitting).
