Not his best game but he was being man marked the whole time so it was clearly their game plan which worked to an extent. Goes to show how important it is that we get another midfielder with quality on the ball who can take that burden off Bruno. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNK Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I watched the whole game today, was curious on how he would perform against Fred and Casemiro who know each other really well since they've been playing for Brazil togheter for a while. He had an ok game, clearly anchored on a deeper role, Bruno Fernandes started the game man marking him and then Fred took up that role later, also there was a point in the game were he received a ball free and after he was fouled Fred and Bruno F. got into a bit of a argument clearly indicating that they were instructed to both keep an eye on him. What was most interesting for me today was his duel with Fred, he didn't lose one, was well pressed and kind of annulled his forward passing game, but, he didn't lose a single ball to Fred. On the other hand he took two balls from Fred that I saw, one on the edge of the box. Still think that Bruno is clearly the better player between the two, I'm curious to see how well both will perform at the WC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duo Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Hopefully a new DM is on the shopping list for Jan to free Bruno in playing in a more advanced position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they get someone on the cheap I think they’ll rely on Shelvey this season and go for attacking options in Jan. definitely a new DM in the summer though.

Agree with both. If we sign a midfielder it needs to be a defensive minded one, hence why I really wasn't arsed about the likes of Paqueta, though the Maddison thing confuses me a bit. I think we'll look at attacking players in January should we be in touch of Europe come the World Cup. Diaby, Maddison, that ilk. But where the latter fits into the 4-3-3 I don't know, unless it's in that RW slot which operates more in the half space but I'd have thought that position is Isak's when Wilson's fit (which is rare admittedly).

STM Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I reckon a more traditional DM next summer will certainly be on the cards. Shelvey still has a huge role to play this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players like Diaby and Harrison fit the bill for Jan. Maddison is quality but like you I don’t see where we play him but Howe is talented and I’m sure if he wants him he’d find a way. They must have got wind that he was interested hence the previous bids but I think it’s more likely he moves to someone next summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 And yet when EH was talking about Bruno this week he openly admitted the goals he’s added to his game have been an unexpected bonus which you wouldn’t really say if scouted as a AM. He’s clearly been bought as our DM which I don’t see in him against the top teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Bruno will also benefit more when the likes of Isak and ASM play because it’ll create more space. As someone has mentioned above though Shelvey can have a big impact this season to help move Bruno further forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holloway Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 what is clear at this point is that we are at the level of Man U. We are clearly progressing, good quality additions in the next couple of windows will see us competing with the best. I'm not sure the same can be said about the Man U situation, it reeks of something aint right Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

More so so.eo e who can do that as well as prompt and create, bit like Man City's midfield which often doesn't have a rigid DM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
