Possibly because there's not been anyone in our team that can play those passes. Only took Bruno a couple of minutes to find ASM with a through ball against Everton.

Consortium of one Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Bruno should be starting against Brentford. Jonjo could use a rest and I think we'll see that anything Jonjo can do Bruno can do better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 I don't think Bruno will get his first start until the mad run of games between Brighton and Palace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thiago Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 I don't think his intelligence on the ball will always show itself in through balls and obvious chance creation. I think he'll switch the point of attack and essentially give us more control of games. Shelvey is good at those searching passes or putting it into dangerous spaces but that is also quite a speculative approach. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
80 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 So, is he starting today? In Howe I trust, but if we all agree he's going to get used during the busy fortnight coming up, today seems the safest time to blood him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 He'll start and Howe will push Willock forward. You heard it here 41st. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackyboy Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Maxi doesn't make runs, he just waits for the ball to his feet. It's such a waste because with his pace he'd leave defenders for dead Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 (edited) He's got a really weird technique when kicking the ball with any sort of power/distance. Almost as if he's just swinging his leg at it. Must work though, thought it was a decent enough cameo Edited February 26, 2022 by joeyt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNK Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 How was he today? Coudn't watch the game since I was working. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantail Breeze Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Just now, JNK said: How was he today? Coudn't watch the game since I was working. Neat and tidy, one really nice pace. Looks great in his cameos and should really start starting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Just now, JNK said: How was he today? Coudn't watch the game since I was working. Very good, was picking the ball up and always looking for the slide rule pass into the gaps, but we didn'r really have the runners. Wilson is going to love him.

Put himself about too which was nice to see when Brentford started getting a bit tasty. Had Chris Wood running on the end of a few defence splitting balls so no luck there obviously One shot with nice intent but poor execution. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Total baller as expected. Always wants to progress the ball forward and always looking for runners. he will be an absolute dream when we have players who have the pace to run behind.

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Can see his through balls being a delight on the counter with ASM running on. Not sure how he and Shelvey will work together based on today, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple of nice balls forward which would have probably led to us being 1 on 1 with better forwards than Wood and Fraser (although they both played well today otherwise, the latter especially). As a team we took our foot off the gas in the second though. Edited February 26, 2022 by Hanshithispantz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emotic Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 The forwards haven't caught up with his game-reading brilliance so far, seemingly. Twice today our players were caught short when he played his defence-splitters. Remember one of them being Joelinton, who still did well to claw back possession.

Flip Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Feel bad for him That through ball to Wilson and its a goal. Shocking how slow and tired Wood was there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Don’t think you can have him and Shelvey in there mind, they seemed to want to be in the same place. He will eventually replace Shelvey in that role and will be outstanding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
