timnufc22 Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Obvious context is he’s been brilliant for us, but he blazed a shot over which he seems to do more lately, gave the ball away with poor passes not long before that outside of the foot one, which was a dangerous give away. I hope he has a level head, I didn’t like him wasting energy on that tweet, he needs to just play with a bit more nous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 He did okay today, despite that mistake. Nonetheless, I don’t think he’s exerting the same level of control and composure in a midfield that he’s demonstrated previously. That loss of composure is also unfortunately having a notable impact on the team, simply because of how pivotal his role is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Played well for the majority of the game, poor got the second goal but he wasn't the only one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 The pass for their goal wasn't as bad as I thought, watching it back, but there were some poor mistakes 10 minutes prior to that but he did loads of good stuff up to that point. Maybe it was Tonali going off leading to more gaps or perhaps he's not up-to-speed fitness wise so lost composure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's strange cos this is exactly how I saw it, thought he was having one of his best games in a long time but then seeing loads of comments of people slating him for being poor Wonder whether we watched a different game or whether people have allowed the mistake at the end cloud their judgement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 2 hours ago, Sempiternal said: He’s repeatedly caught in posession in the exact same places, the exact same way at the minute. He was good at avoiding pressure, not sure what’s happened Teams are keying in on him big time in those deep areas. I miss him playing as a number 8 without having to do so much in those deeper areas. Still maintain when he was further up and Shelvey was deep, was when he was at his best. Wish we'd have got a more athletic rugged DM that could pass a bit, so that Bruno could just be further up not having to battle so much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 In fact just watching that last goal back ... it's such a high risk pass to make from that position and at that moment. We really could do with a DM that doesn't take so many risks from that position. Great when it comes off but so dangerous and often costly when it doesn't. Really difficult to be too mad at Bruno because he has stated a preference to play further up, but it seems it's not something we're looking to do anymore.

Sean Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 I remember a quote about Isak in the Athletic, think it was from a former coach at AIK, along the lines of "he doesn't get too high in the good moments or low in the bad moments. It's a good trait to have". Bruno definitely does not have that trait. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 These new wum sign ups need looking into, plenty in the last 18 months lurking around, and waiting for days like today to pounce. Can spot them a mile away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Puppets Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Yeah Bruno was excellent yesterday apart from that one stupid costly moment. It was his best game in 6 months. Shame. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingArthur Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 He was good yesterday, problem is A) he has no recovery pace B) he sometimes keeps the ball too long. You can clearly see he is not a no 6 in traditional way. it benefits us that he can play those nice passes to tight areas, but it would be more useful to have him higher and receiving the ball in tight spaces, winning free kicks etc. Still think our tactic with 3 box-to-box midfielders is not the best way.
