Erikse Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 (edited) 2 hours ago, CPL said: I've looked at the list. Apart from Szob, I wouldn't disagree too much with the ones above Bruno G. Maybe it's just me, but I'm rarely amazed by Bruno F when I see him play. Has some great moments, and works hard for the team, but he can be a bit of a hot head. When they are down by a goal, he typically start blasting shots from 25m into the stands out of frustration and doesn't actually do that much productive (in these scenarios). He's a top player on his day, but Bruno G seem more consistent to me. Edited September 8 by Erikse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a top player on his day, but Bruno G seem more consistent to me. Bruno F literally carried that team last year. When he played, he dominated matches with big performances including against us towards the end of last season. If you put a vote on a neutral forum on who is the better player, unfortunately I think he would win the vote. Bruno G makes us tick in a similar way but he can get caught on the ball which results in a counter attack from a dangerous position. Everything else he does, I wouldn't change a thing. If he carries on the way he is going, he will move further up that list for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at the same time, we have been absolutely useless everytime we have been missing Bruno G, so in that sense, you could argue that he is "carrying" us aswell. Most distance covered in the league is a part of it, like he is everywhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 (edited) Bruno F has been carrying Man United for 4/5 seasons now really, he is also hardly ever injured which is a massive plus on its own. They’d have been far worse off without him. Edited September 8 by Nine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffee_Johnny Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 (edited) 12 hours ago, Erikse said: "Givemesport" did a top 12 midfielders in PL list. Not going to link it, because I refuse to give them more clicks for it, but here's a piece of it: Well they’re undoubtedly all top players, but dodgy ranking. Off to find top five/full 12. edit: “Be warned - this list is only our opinion and is not definitive. A whole host of factors have been taken into consideration when formulating the standings below - with importance to their team, goals, assists, and overall impact on games. It also has to be considered that some midfielders are more defensive-minded, while others are tasked with making more telling contributions going the other way, while a midfielder's price tag has also been included in the conversation - hence why the likes of Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez are snubbed. Check out the full ranking factors below.” Fair enough. Some top midfielders in PL mind. Edited September 8 by Coffee_Johnny Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So being more expensive will count as a negative? Then it's absolutely bizarre that Szob is higher than Bruno G as he cost nearly twice as much.

Kimbo Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 This list has Kobbie Mainoo as the 12th best midfielder in the league. He’s got plenty of potential but right now he’s pretty flawed and has looked like bollocks so far this season IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
