Mattoon Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 I can see Howe holding him back because the engine room is doing its job at the moment, if we're in a losing position going into the 2nd half tomorrow or getting overrun in the middle of the park Bruno will get an earlier call up. If somehow we're winning again Bruno will only get a cameo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also relies on Krafth to boss the entire right wing alone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree. His presence has lifted the midfield. There is now real competition and the players have responded to it. Just wait until we have that kind of competition all over the pitch.

That should have been a foul every time though and he has no other options. He’s clearly an intelligent player. That little flick when he came on was very nice. He does run a little long and heavy, which I think is where the ‘not athletic’ stuff comes from. But I don’t think it’s going to matter much in his case.

Shelvey In particular. Don’t think it’s a coincidence Shelvey’s best form for us came when he had Merino to contend with. Fitness levels probably played a part both in terms of improving their own performance but also meaning they have more options to make passes. Willock just suits being in a three.

Hanshithispantz Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Oh aye I'm just taking the piss. Was a clear foul. He slowed down to buy it but as we've seen time and time again in recent weeks in our games referees seem to just be flipping their coin whether or not they're going to give them. The Arsenal match was insane for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingxlnc Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Even though we are impatient to see him start you can see the intelligence behind making him get used to the pace of the game firsr, he doesn't have as much time on the ball as he did in France so its about getting him acclimatised. Once he starts he'll stay imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Mad position to be in, but if Howe sees Bruno and Willock as being the two going for that role, you can't really make a case for Bruno at the moment. Crazy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awaymag Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Joelinton and Willock can't be dropped at the moment. So Bruno may come in for Shelvey at some point but its a nice problem to have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
