Rafalove Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 (edited) Has to be one of our best cm’s ever? Definitely in our top three, but I’m not sure exactly where he’d rank against Lee and Speed. Definitely above both Cabaye and Merino for me though. Suppose many would put Gazza as number one but I was born in 1990 so never saw him play for us.

Chris_R Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Not sure if he's the best midfielder I've seen play for us, but he's definitely in the top 1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Thought nufc.com were peculiarly harsh on him: Quote grabbing his second of a game when he delighted and frustrated in equal measure; often in the same passage of play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Ahmed Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 24 minutes ago, joeyt said: Thought nufc.com were peculiarly harsh on him: Tbf I actually thought the same, there were some moments where he was very casual and had the ball stolen off him But he more than made up for it I personally don't have a major issue with how casual he was as that's what makes him the player he is, he's very relaxed and calm under pressure and it mostly ends with him easily beating the press or winning a free kick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzza Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 (edited) BRuno is much better up the pitch. Trippier and miley tucked into the middle (box midfield) well yesterday, and bruno was more expressive because of this... Only fault was that both miley and trips were absent whe elanga and onimeyi's pace outdone burn and botman a few times. New set up Still needs work on practice pitch for me Edited February 11 by buzza Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 All for trying Bruno in a 10 in our first choice midfield. Tonali to 6, Joe 8, Bruno 10. Tonali has the recovery pace to defend better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonali has the recovery pace to defend better. With Tonali in we'd be looking to dominate possession a bit more so I'd possibly prefer Joe W over Joe L. Nice options to have mind.

Lee has longevity and a brilliant 1994 over Bruno at the moment, but in terms of who's the better footballer it's already Bruno I think. Speed's not in the conversation for me and Cabaye is definitely not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No rose-tinted spectacles for me - he was awful for the first couple of seasons, then a good, solid PL midfielder until he left. Was never worth what we paid for him. Excellent pro, not doubts about that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
