Bruno Guimarães

[Shak]

He's very obviously going to start the next game, lads.

 

All the reserves starting today yet Fred keeping his place is pretty fucking obvious.

 

He'll replace Fred in the front six from last game, Neymar on the bench at best as they'll assume they have enough to beat Korea without him needing to start.

[oldtype]

Gonna be fun being the only person on here wanting Bruno to be shit next game

[LV]

He’s on

 

And getting some massive plaudits from the commentators. 

[LV]

Should have scored 

[Dr Jinx]

He totally changed the game for them, but snatched at chances and really should have done better there but it’s clear he’s a league above Fred.

[OpenC]

Would have put that away with a black and white top on like

I was watching the Swiss Serbia game but everytime I flicked back to the Brazil game he fucked something up 

 

Get rid.......

Wonder if our boy is getting pelters in Brazillian press? I didn’t watch closely but despite seeing a fair bit of the ball nothing seemed to come off for him, and caught sight of a despairing (embarrassed?) look as he lay face down on the turf at the end.

Decent ratings on BBC sport, so maybe worrying about him needlessly.

No Eddie, no mojo

I watched the Serbia-Switzerland game but recorded the Brazil one to watch later if Bruno came on

 

Read some comments about him being awful and nothing working so expected to see that and I find those comments bizarre 

 

Yeah, he probably should have scored, the header was his easiest chance but I thought he was good aside from that, drove the team forward and put the lines of Antony in positions to create something but it was wasted

[frankpingel]

Think he was slightly over trying to make an impact. He was constantly involved and with a bit of luck could've bagged a couple of goals. 

Absolutely nothing to be concerned about, he's an absolute gem.

I thought he did really good last night. That spinning back heel anyone? He had a few bad moments but by and large his touches were very positive and brought the team upfield.

exactly my thoughts, seems to be rushing things more than usual, wasn’t as composed. Had some really lovely touches but gave the ball away needlessly at times and was bullied on the ball a couple of times which is really unusual for him. He was still involved loads though and clearly made an impact, just needs to settle down a bit.

I feel bad for him personally, but from a Newcastle POV it's not the worst thing. He's exactly what Brazil need ahead of some of their big lights, but better for us if he stays behind Paqeta and Fred.

Admittedly based more on a hunch than evidence, but I think Bruno is actually one of that big group of players which include Joelinton, Longstaff, Willock and Almiron, who Eddie has managed to improve. Bruno looked uncharacteristically nervous when he came on. Normally, he looks like he owns the place (in a positive way, of course)

[McCormick]

He’s been slightly off it since his baby was born tbh.

Had similar thoughts. Class is permanent though.

Might be some truth to this, Paqueta was seen as the better of the two at Lyon but look at Moyes vs Howe and you can see why one is doing well and the other not so much. 

[JNK]

Bruno had two bad games, the anxiety clearly got to him and he still had better numbers than Fred. After last game brazilian midia is treating him like a disappointment.

[gbandit]

Is Sports media reactionary in every country? Seems like most nations’ press swing from loving a player to hating a player based on tiny sample sizes, e.g. one really good or bad game

He's probably knackered. I was, definitely affected my work.

He's been ok in his two sub appearances so far, yes he missed a couple of chances the other night, but his overall play was anything but bad.
