Dr.Spaceman Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Yeah, he suffers the same as others in the side with a lack of options when on the ball. He looks like he wants to be progressive more than he can be. He's not Jack Colback. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago 31 minutes ago, ExiledGeordie said: City fan in my local thinks he’s been found out a bit in part because of his lack of speed. He’s faster than Gundogan / Kovacic. Just when you are a terrible side at controlling the ball, your weaknesses are exposed a hell lot more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliottman Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago Whatever happened to all the little one twos we used to play, used to play some lush football in the channels. Those little runs behind the full backs caused mayhem, Bruno often the one feeding them. Trippier was heavily involved as well but just rarely seem to use it anymore.

Geordie Ahmed Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago Still love the guy but was really winding me up at times yesterday, I get it's why he plays and you take the rough with the smooth but he was going for some hollywood passes despite there being at least a couple of other more sensible options available, on at least 2 occasions his passes led to us being hit on the counter and in trouble Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's certainly not faster than those 2, Kovacic in particular is much quicker Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Butcher Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago He's probably the slowest footballer I've ever seen. Can't think of anyone slower tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago I thought he had a poor game yesterday overall, was very wasteful with the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry 209 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago The club posted an interview with Bruno after the game on Facebook, I actually couldn't believe the abuse he was getting from our fans. Not just the odd comment, and not just saying he had a bad game either. I really hope he didn't see that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interview from Howe when we signed Bruno "When asked if such a goal was on Bruno's highlights reel, Howe confessed he's been signed to play as a number 6 more than anything else." He said: "Goal-scoring is not something he has made a name for himself doing but he is capable of the unexpected and that is what he did. "The goal was something we probably did not expect from him but shows his technical ability and he is going to be a huge player for us." It seems like Howe made up his mind about it like 2,5 years ago. Edited 1 hour ago by Erikse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago (edited) Wasn’t he always a 6 though? Or a relatively deep lying midfielder anyway. Edited 1 hour ago by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Bruno himself: “But if I have to choose I prefer to be a ‘segundo volonte’ (a box-to-box). It was the role I played at Athletico Paranaense and Lyon. But I can also play as the most defensive midfielder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was coming under pressure from the opposition, emerging with it and finding a team mate quite often. Yes he will sometimes lose it, but I think he only holds it because there's not much movement around him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
