It’s worse than that, if rather than rounding up to the nearest year, you round up to the nearest decade. Then discount his previous goals, he hasn’t scored for nearly 10 years. jokes aside, he does seem in a dip of form compared to his best. We did play the best team in the world tonight though.

Groundhog63 Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 (edited) Honestly ffs. You lot want to fuck off and support some other team. Bruno's doing a job he's been asked to do. Was brilliant last season in its entirety and we've only played 2 games so far this. He's got a new partner in crime to accommodate. When "Fletch" & Mcoist were waxing lyrical about Foden (quite rightly) they showed a graphic of "ground covered" Bruno was top fwiw Edited August 19, 2023 by Groundhog63 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 He's had such a dip in form that we completely fell apart in the three games he was suspended. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 He's a bit of a victim of his own success because of how brightly he sparkled before his wee'un came along (I'm not being cute there, there's a definite line in the sand at that exact point). He was alright tonight; most of our play went through him and his long passing was on point, but he got caught the odd time (which is becoming common now; he's seemingly a lot less resistant to the press) and fluffed our only opening. Would love for him to recapture his best form - where he was easily the best I'd ever seen for us at CM - but I'll probably concede at this point that that incredible spell may have inflated our collective expectations. Not that he isn't still a brilliant player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viana Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 (edited) Passers need runners. Miggy is the only one that consistently does that for him. It’s also two games into the season meaning we have nothing to really take from his performances. Give it 10 games. @Yorkie great post. I also think we have to factor in game state. He’s gone from facing teams where we were underdogs to now supreme favorites. Edited August 19, 2023 by Viana Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Comparing his goals to his first 6 months here is retarded, he played as an 8 for most of that time. He’s now the 6, the first guy who receives the ball from the back line and looks to either play something incisive or more commonly shifts the ball safely. He’s been for that a season now.

Kanj Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 (edited) I want to see him dominate or compete better against the best sides. I almost predicted this would happen today, too often he seems to have major mistakes that our talisman like him can’t make if we want to move up a level. He just seems prone to being shit away from home in some big time games. In any case he was trying to make it happen, and thankfully we play less teams this good all season Edited August 19, 2023 by Kanji Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Nah, not really. He’s amazing. He’s our main man. But we need him to be our main man in games like today. Just because we love him forever doesn’t mean we can’t want more from him. bring on Liverpool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 He's trying too hard atm and has been for a while, he's forcing it. When he starts to flow this year, and he will, he'll be unreal. Still think he was canny today and has been canny generally, but there's levels to come.

r0cafella Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 This place really takes a hit when we lose Regarding Bruno, I think it’s quite clear we are building a team which isn’t reliant on the individual. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was sensational last season up to the World Cup, where he was playing as the six, so no, it isn't stupid to compare now with his 2022 form.

People are underrating his performance in general last night though, he was fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Displayname Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 (edited) Think that shot is a clear example off something being off with him. When he first came here one thing i noticed about him was that he never got dispossesed, now it seems to happen multiple times every game. Dont know what it it, maybe the baby is keeping him up at night or something. But I think its clear that he is not on top off his game.
