Lush Vlad Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 8 minutes ago, Geordie Ahmed said: The only aspect of his game I'd suggest is a bit average or even below average is that his shots seem to lack power, even a couple of his crosses seemed to take a lot of effort (though one still led to a chance for ASM) However the above doesn't affect what he's in the team for and I can't wait until we have a top striker and RW to see the best of him I’d agree with that. Even his long range passes are kind of lofty and slow. He doesn’t seem to strike the ball cleanly a lot of the time.

Guest HTT II Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 He’s a playmaker, in the Cabaye mould. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey47 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Imagine Bruno in Man City's side, would be unfair. Luckily FCB is gone and we don't actually have to worry about losing Bruno. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Cabaye hit a ball a lot cleaner and harder. Would be a set piece threat as well, unlike Bruno. I also remember him being less mobile and not as sound defensively or dribbling with the ball. The main comparison to me is that they are small’ish centre mids, signed from Ligue 1 and that Cabaye is probably the last top class all round centre mid that we had. So it seems natural that they are going to get compared with each other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Cabaye was closer to Shelvey (and a lot lot better tbh) in that he wasnt quick and had excellent range of passing but Bruno has a lot quicker speed of thought with quicker feet, more short ranged incisiveness.

There were times when he was having little breathers. Explains Howes plan of slowly introducing him to the league. He’s start 3 games iirc. He was blowing against Southampton and was subbed around 65. Against Everton we started to loose midfield control around the same time and only got respite of them going down to 10. Wolves starting taking control and getting into the game similar sort of time. He’ll be fine hopefully but just a little worrying. I said the same about Cabaye from the start and hardly anyone agreed with me at the time so I’m not offended ? Don’t think it helped him playing alongside Shelvey. Even Joelinton wasn’t as all action as he had been during our unbeaten run last night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Bruno's like 6ft, isn't he? Definitely has more athletic potential than Cabaye, once he's adjusted and had a preseason. He feels like a Cabaye-Gini hybrid, style-wise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Joelinton wasn’t as all action as he had been during our unbeaten run last night. That's a valuable insight. I wasn't too sure if we controlled the first half, or if Wolves did, by allowing us to. Their mini resurgence at the beginning of the second half did worry me that they had played it to a tee, although they never came close. Oddly reassuring to know that our performance levels dropped.

Amir_9 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 I'd argue Bruno is more so what we had hoped Longstaff would turn into rather than a Cabaye like player which imo aren't the same type of player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
