I was probably a shade harsh on him after watching this. Lots of the things I love, he just looked a bit frustrated at points. I think regardless he'll have some real fun in the games where we're touching 60% possession and Tonali can offer another point of focus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackieDoor Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Watching the game back and Bruno did a lot of good things, don't think he was bad at all, just the odd sloppy pass. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't a pile on after just one bad game but I have thought for quite awhile that I don't think he will ever reach elite level purely due to his athleticism. He's a great technical player and plays with intelligence most of the time but he's just not blessed physically like some of the great elite players have been. But hopefully that just means he will spend the best years of his career here and not at Real or Barca or somewhere. He’s not the most athletic but at his best he thinks a split second faster than others. Sometimes he’s a bit sloppy and erratic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrRaspberryJam Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Seems a handful of sloppy passes is now enough to get categorised as a shit performance. Bruno was fine yesterday. Not his best performance but was still his busy industrious self. Just enjoy the ride man y’all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think that was more down to the fact he came up against a more than capable opponent in Douglas Luiz. He was fine, pretty damn good infact. Absolute codswallop to state anything different tbh.

I'll see someone poster, and wonder what negative they will highlight immediately. To deny that is absurd. This is the most down I have felt in ages. I am locked in an endless ordeal of color correction for something that may not even ever get seen, and I count my lucky stars that I am not as miserable as a few appear on here.

I thought Luiz and Kamara were good in patches but neither was good enough without the ball. Bruno exceeded their level. Playing better than your opponents should be enough like…… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haz Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Bruno is constantly adapting to instructions from Eddie. His role is constantly changing. when it's all sorted they're going to tear up the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 I thought he was fairly poor when watching the game, half-cut on Saturday. Since seen the extended highlights and the Bruno reel on Twitter. I think he looked quality. Some loose stuff with the ball and caught in possession a few times. But he has set the bar so high. That a 7 from him seems like a bad or below par performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 At the end of last season he started to get caught with the ball, but he had the excuse of the ankle injury. It could also be that teams have worked out that he likes to hold on to the ball, small details in how to dispossess the opposition. Players will be studied to the nth degree... He needs to adapt or get out of the dip as soon as possible as he is the fulcrum of our team, what makes us tick! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Personally, I thought he was better second half than the first. He got into the right tempo and groove as the whole team upped their game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying he didn't, but the directive for him and his ankle (and his wedding) was to rest yourself and enjoy. People love making shit up though.

simonsays Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 The more I see of this guy the more i realise how important to the squad he is. Everyone seems to gravitate towards him - you could see for instance when Tonali scored his goal it was Bruno he was looking for. His attitude and personality is just as important as his ability - for me he's the one player we couldnt afford to lose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
