toontownman Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Howes quotes in the fail yesterday make it sound like he was bought to replace shelvey imo, not that I would call shelvey a DM lol. "He is a defensive midfielder, but a creative one. The reason we signed him was because we loved his way of playing, his eye for a pass and composure." https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10600521/Newcastle-boss-Eddie-Howe-lauds-40m-January-signing-Bruno-Guimaraes-brilliant-heel-goal.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 13 hours ago, greydos said: Wood’s goal couldn’t happen without Bruno. He receives it to feet off Dubravka, enjoys the press of the Southampton player, goes past him and plays a 20-yard ball through the lines to Murphy’s feet. Because the midfield line is beaten Fraser Shelvey and Targett and get up the left comfortably. But it all starts with Bruno progressing us. Class It couldn't happen without Dubravka being confident enough to play it short, it couldn't happen without Murphys (thought it was Willock)showing for it with 2 men on him, it doesn't happen without Shelvey moving into space, without Frasers little darting run pushing the centre midfielders back, without Shelveys excellent ball then without Woods reading of the cross, timing of his header. He done well bit let's not try and make out it's an assist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I think Bruno will be our long term base of the midfield, deep lying playmaker, keep things ticking etc. place a Joelinton in there and you have your ball winning box to box force. Willock is the current perfect attacking midfielder. I could easily see us get Kamara on a free to compete with Bruno and Have us play situationally, and my preference is to sign a genuine class attacking midfielder to play with Bruno and Joelinton.

I thought it was just a simple set-penis until I saw the third replay and saw what really happened. I also thought Robert’s goal v Fulham was a diving header from where I was in Level 7 in the Leazes end until I got home and saw the goals on SSN. Will be lush to appreciate a great goal first time one day. Edited March 12, 2022 by Optimistic Nut Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He done well bit let's not try and make out it's an assist. I’m not attempting at all to make out it’s an assist. What I am doing is recognising that Bruno’s part in the goal is something only he will do in our whole squad. Dubravka can play it into midfielders short and has done before. Shelvey can ship a sideways pass under no pressure. Fraser can knock a ball to Targett on the overlap. What we’ve never had before is someone comfortable accepting the ball in our defensive half spaces, just in front of the back four, turning their man who presses them and threading a ball to feet between the lines. When Shelvey is deep he won’t have the guts to do that. He’d go back to Dubravka or wide to the full backs who would when pressed eventually play a long ball in the air. I think it’s worth noticing and celebrating the unique positive skill set Bruno brings to us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I’m expecting this match today to be a tough watch given the starting 11, but hopefully Bruno can put in a classy performance and that’ll be him starting from now on after that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Thought he was class today, up against some world class midfielders and didn’t look out of place. I love how he often takes it on the back foot, then getting his body between the ball and the player, or meaning he can turn easily. Also how quick he is over a few yards with his movement in and out to make space. Or to get to the ball first or away from players. Not fast over longer distances, but he is mobile. What I like the most. Is how he shows for throw ins and always seems to retain possession when getting the ball. We have been so shit at throws for ages and the movement has been non-existent. All little things, really. But they were quite noticeable to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Today he was much better than the Southampton game IMO. Was in control. Arguably a better partnership with Longstaff than Shelvey too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Does he stay in the team for Thursday? Hard to drop him now even If it's to rest him. Real smart crafty player. Definitely something different to what we have got. Love to see him with Joe's either side. Shelvey will be back in for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 (edited) Thought he looked slow but classy. Don't think he and Shelvey can play together. Way too slow. Edited March 13, 2022 by The College Dropout Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
