Gallowgate Toon Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 He's got that connection thing with Isak too which is fucking great news for us. Feels like he given Isak more looks in about 30 minutes of play than he ever has with Wilson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Thought he was fading a bit in the second half in that 10-15 minutes after the Joelinton miss but seemed to perk up once ASM and Isak were on. Whole team did tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Came alive with some movement ahead of him. He doesn’t get enough from Joelinton and Wilson, although the game did open up a lot once they were behind. He needs players darting about for him like Miggy does.

LionOfGosforth Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Playing like a man possessed in most games but getting a little too involved in the niggly side of things lately. Got to love his passion and drive though, what a man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great ball though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 It might just be because of the ridiculously high bar he has set. But I thought he was below his usual standards. Probably being harsh and expecting too much, mind. As his numbers were good and Ol Don on commentary was constantly praising him. I thought Schar, Pope, Almiron and Trippier were all more deserving of MOTM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackyboy Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Thought Trippier was poor by his own incredibly high standards. Gave the ball away a few times which is not like him. The huge majority of our attacking comes down that right hand side Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost possession a lot with weak misplaced passes. Very surprised he got motm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 He played an inverse game to Trippier, who I thought had a cracking first half and a poor second. Bruno was poor, by his own high standards, in the first half but definitely grew into it and improved later on. He seems to need a bit of rattling to produce his best sometimes, think Alcaraz and Lyanco getting into him did us no harm at all. I was somewhat tongue-in-cheek about it being Matteo's fault, but I don't think he's produced a truly world-class performance for some time now.

Gallowgate Toon Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Think that's a bit harsh. Both of his Leicester performances were top notch, imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Last night, he lost the ball a bit (dodgy pitch) but his defensive work was outrageous, kept & took the ball in lots of high-pressure situations, and played some absolutely fantastic passes (even in the first half). I think we're at the point with him now where we notice more of the bad than the good because he so often makes the right choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IzzyIsak Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) Ultimate centre midfielder, does everything. His defensive work is as good as his attacking play. Edited January 25, 2023 by IzzyIsak Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Genuinely one of the nicest blokes in football. That's on top of him being a wonderful football that could play for any side in Europe. Nothing against Longstaff who always gives his all and is a perfectly decent player, but you can only think Bruno will be even better with more quality next to him.
