It gets him the perfect weight, it’s almost like he hits it like a snooker shot where they kill the white ball. Hard to explain but I know what you mean. Yeah thought that re the snooker ball, he puts back spin on it. Just watched the Match of the day highlights. His passing is unreal and pinpoint accurate. Thank God we can enjoy him in our team onwards and upwards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 I think he gets his head and body too far over the ball so it looks like he's digging the ball out behind him, a bit like a golfer wedging it. But it works great so it's not a criticism just an observation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most are good from the start Aye. I’m still no good but that’s given me a lot of hope. Can still make it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually described him yesterday as playing football like he is playing snooker. He kind of pushes through on the ball like he is cueing. Plus the fact he has the angles and the weight spot on most the time. His safety game would be impeccable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Yeah he puts back spin on his through balls, in order for it slow up for the guy running onto it. A great example is his assist for Miggy. He cut the ball in half, on the volley. Beautiful, beautiful man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 (edited) Watching the highlights again and it’s really noticeable that we had lots of willing forward runners yesterday; especially when Bruno gets on the ball. We really lacked this for a long time and just relied on Wilson and ASM instead. I think Willock is a must for us at the moment. The one who needs upgrading is Longstaff, but you can just play Joelinton there when Wilson is back. Bruno at the base of midfield in a high press makes so much sense. There’s no need for Shelvey to be a starter at all. He can be a decent rotation option. Edited April 24, 2022 by Smal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautiful, beautiful man. i dont remember against who but he made an absolutely ridiculous through ball too Miggy in one of his first games. It looked way too heavy but ended up absolutely perfect because of the slight backspin in the end. It was a long one too which Miggy reached just before it went out.

Ikon Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 I find it gobsmacking how great his passes are. Even the longer over the top ones. Very difficult to make and even more insane that I don’t remember one of them going wrong. Some of them have been quite advanced too. He did one to Ritchie with the outside of his foot against Norwich. A quicker player there and he would have been through. Love how he tries to make little one two’s at times too. A flick forward and then a run looking to receive it. Hasn’t always got the pass back but lovely to see. Just like the rest of you, I absolutely adore him and can’t stop looking at every detail when he is on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Boy Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 I thought Bruno was a top class defensive midfielder when we signed him. I am happy to say I was wrong on that. He is far better than that. He can play any role in midfield. He played Shelvey's quarter back role on Saturday superbly. His goal was just top class Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 I know we’re rich, but how we got him in the predicament we’re in is outrageous. Wait until players look at us freshly during the summer as a team who’ve finished mid-table with that money knocking about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He took a massive leap of faith which I’m sure everyone was advising him against (moving to relegation candidate must have been a big no no to his circle). Not only does he have balls of steel he’s the epitome of a baller as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Its still mental we've signed this guy when we looked like we're destined for the drop, he could've easily signed for other clubs in the summer too.

NE27 Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 He might have touched on it in previous interviews but I can't remember, but I'd love a piece with him after the season end with his reasoning for joining nufc. Ok we had new owners with supposed huge wealth, but the club was still pretty toxic and was circling the plug hole of the PL and with a manager that maybe not everyone was blown away by (high profile rejection from Emery didn't help this like). He either backed himself very highly to alter our fortunes, was sold an unreal dream by owners or maybe even impressed by Howe?. Either way I'd love to hear about it, and I'm sure we will get some of these pieces in summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
