Gallowgate Toon Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Has the same aura about him as Trippier - unflappable when on the ball. He really does do a lot of things well. A joy to watch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno oozes class, i've been telling you, coudn't watch the game today but as someone I forgot to quote said, calm down, he's still adjusting to the league! The best surely is yet to come. I'm here almost dancing alone since if Bruno keeps it up we won't have Fred starting at the World Cup Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sima Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Calling it now, he will be up there with Rob Lee and Gary Speed by the time he retires. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Yea. He's stepped into the team with the same assuredness that Trippier did. Showing a simple quality that we have been devoid of for so long. Another 9 players at that level and we're set, lol. Seriously though, another 3 or 4 in the summer, with a few hopeful prospects, will be spot on. Really don't think we need to worry about the defence too much if we can be more imposing in the opposition's territory. Burn, Schar and Targett are probably the three players closest to the other two, in terms of quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFEE Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Early days. Clearly a talent but worrying that he looks like he’s got the same fitness coach as Cabaye. Looked done after 65-70mins. Will benefit when Wilson returns and better players in general which is obviously not rocket science. Wood has done all that’s been asked of him but clearly doesn’t fit with Bruno’s attacking side. Jury still out, should do well against CP and Leicester. Will be good to see him up against Liverpool and Man City to see how good he really is.

Geordie Ahmed Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Not surprised in the slightest with his performance, we signed a class player and it's showing I just love the way he plays the game and the tempo at which he plays it, been crying out for such a player for ages If we can get a few more players on his level this summer then we'll be laughing next season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedro111 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 That noticeable lack of pace, I didn't see it last night. He was up and down that pitch like a boss. Some of his passing was outrageous, and his little touches, the lads next level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 (edited) My favourite player already. What a classy and elegant player. Super impressed already. Give him someone like Paqueta in front of him as he’s very good at finding space between the lines. Bruno’s smart progressive forward balls breaking the lines. Then add a striker with pace and good movement to play on the shoulder of the opposition’s defence. One that can also play with his back against goal. Someone like Paqueta is soooo calm and composed on the ball. Great awareness and just quality and never looks under pressure. Someone like Kalvin Phillips in who’s a great passer too and can do a bit extra defensively. Big money for these two players but we would then have one of the best midfields in the league. Or a cheaper option like Grillitsch because we need to spend money on other positions. Think he is out of contract in the summer.

Cronky Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 (edited) He's a very clever player. When he's under pressure with the ball, he almost seems to use the situation to his advantage. We don't have another midfielder who is so confident on the ball. I can't see much wrong with his pace and energy either. Last night, it really looked like he'd arrived at the Premiership. Being picky, he doesn't seem to have a left foot, and that can restrict his options, but he's very creative in the passes that he picks out. Overall, a great package.

mouldy_uk Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 The game slows down when he gets the ball which is always a sign of a great player on the ball. Can’t wait to see more of him, especially with some better support. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 He has that Fabregas acceleration over a couple of yards that gets him some space. He isn’t quick over a longer distance. But his touch and burst of speed often gets him away from tacklers. It Only got him into trouble once in our half and also when he should have passed inside to ASM on the edge of their box. Worked basically every other time. Just really sharp and quick thinking on the ball. Those little early, hard 5-10 yard passes into feet to get them turned or sometimes getting it back with a quick one-two. What are they, exactly? Never seen us do that before Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 He's just so smart and commanding in the way he deals with every situation, the amount of times yesterday he held off his man before playing a switch to the wing was class, he manages passes that we haven't seen for years, but they also seem the simple choice. Like the ball into Almiron before the disallowed goal, it's was a 10 yard pass into the box, but I've not seen that sort of thing in about a decade. He's tactically switched on to the game situation too, there moment just before he was subbed off in the 88th minute, where he got the ball on the edge of our box and had men around him, and was being hassled and easily could have gone down to get the free-kick, but instead he managed to get 10 yards further up the pitch before allowing the foul, allowing us to slow the game down with the FK, and mean that should possession transfer, Wolves are deeper then they'd want to be. Utter dreamboat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
