hakka Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Love how Bruno demands the ball and directs players ahead of him. I also love how if he can he will immediately slip a ball forward with laser precision to create chances. Going to be some player for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how he and Shelvey will work together based on today, though. Was thinking that. Bruno definitely wanted to sit back to offer an option and dictate play.

He will eventually replace Shelvey in that role and will be outstanding. That's what I meant re: the above. They were essentially stood slap bang next to one another a couple of times. Feels like Shelvey's due an injury soon enough so hopefully he'll slot in and make the place his own. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Oozes class. And he's fit as fuck. 10/10 would bang. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Zaius Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 First time we've had a proper look at him. Looked neat and tidy, but needs runners Infront of him. Lovely ball through for Wood, anyone but him and that's a goal. Should be coming in for Shelvey Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those who think he's going to replace Willock are way off the mark based on that 30 mins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRaspberryJam Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Neat and tidy, composed and a couple of threaded through balls. He'll be cock on once he gets fully up to speed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 He makes Shelvey’s job a lot easier, guess we just need to decide if we need them both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oregon_Geordie Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 (edited) Looks good but I think him and Shelvey were on each others toes a little. He clearly dictates the rhythm of the team, but more so through a far more diverse set of passing and movement than Jonjo. Clearly a very smart player and was far more vocal with his demand for the ball. Excited to see more when he's can run the show.

Sima Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Thought Shelvey was poor today. Now’s the time to make a change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 He looks like the quality player we thought he is, he will get more time slowly but i don't see a reason to change things while its working so well at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played alongside Shelvey in the middle and Joelinton went a but further forward on the wing Then Lascelles came on for Willock and we went 5 at the back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked like we changed from a 4-3-3 to a 4-2-3-1, him and Shelvey as the two, Joelinton on the right and Willock central. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
