Arguably a better partnership with Longstaff than Shelvey too. I thought Longstaff was awful today though. But he’s barely played so fair enough.

HaydnNUFC Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 He's top class. Champions League quality, easy. Hope he still starts on Thursday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 (edited) Thought he looked slow but classy. Don't think he and Shelvey can play together. Way too slow. Edited March 13, 2022 by The College Dropout Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bompeter Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I think I may have lashed out in a vile and abusive manner against the person in here who said he looked slow and unathletic, but they were right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 He'll only get better the more he gets used to the league, today he was up against probably the best midfielder in the world in Kante and a few world class midfielders around him and he did quite well.

Elliottman Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Not seeing this ‘slow’ at all. saw him driving up and down the pitch all game. Still won’t be fully fit but cannot see anything slow about him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEEJ Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 When you've got such a sharp eye for a pass and as deft a touch as he has, I don't think it particularly matters how quick you are. He's gonna be our star. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Bruno has never looked “slow” when paired with the his club or national team midfield partners. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Looks less fit than the other players, probably because he’s not been properly Howed for a while. Not sure it’s slow so much as tired and difficult to catch people with tired legs who have turned you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenlau88210 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I know his game is more about finesse but I have to agree he seems to lack pace. Also he looks quite lightweight. Hopefully he can adapt to this league Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Think he will be better suited to when we have more of the ball in midfield too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 He’s good enough to play for Brazil and beat Spain. That’s good enough for me.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I think being in a midfield 2 wasn't ideal especially as Longstaff was the other person Get our normal 3 in midfield and we'll see the best of him Having said that I still thought he was good, won a lot challenges and also won a few fouls. That passage of play which ended with Rudiger needlessly knocking him over was good from him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manxst Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 The likes of Iniesta, Pirlo and Busquets were hardly Olympic sprinters by any stretch, but still rightly classed as world class midfield players. The first few yards are the most important, along with the thought of what to do following that initial move. Those players, along with Bruno, clearly have foresight and planning ahead of the ball coming to them. Technique also buys them time and space that pace alone doesn’t. Bruno is just fine.

Tiresias Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 You guys realise he was in a midfield 2 with Sean Longstaff against a midfield feating Jorginho who was number 3 in last years Ballon d'or and Kante? I thought he looked absolutely fine considering lol Look forward to him alongside Joelinton Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Definitely a tough role for him today. Playing in a midfield 2 against a ball-dominant side is a tough shift. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
