It was weird, like you could see passes that you expect him to try and it was like he’d turn away from them and play safer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holloway Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 He certainly wasn"t noticeably effective, perhaps his emotional state has become a weakness of sorts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Last week in the first half we defended in a narrow 4. We needed to do similar today. Alvarez and Foden kept popping up in the half spaces. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno plays as an old fashioned half back these days - he’s the most likely player to receive the ball off the back four, and most passes will come in his own half. If he isn’t reasonably accurate and doesn’t have the most passes then something is going badly wrong that day Any of our midfielders playing as ‘number 6’ (still think it should be a number 4) would be likely to top some of those stats.

He still plays very similarly to when he first arrived but we're used to it - his stats are actually better. He had some class games to close out last season which seem to never get mentioned. Brighton, Man U, Spurs etc. He hasn’t scored in nearly a year. He didn’t seem shot shy when he joined. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Rodri beat Bruno for passes under pressure last season, and his progressive passes stats for the last year are 90th percentile. He's an extremely effective starter of moves.

Fair enough, but as already posted of any NUFC player he covered the most ground, had the most touches, made the most passes, had the highest pass accuracy, won the most duels and fouls. It didn't help he had absolutely fuck all going on in front of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
