STM Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Winning the CL wouldn't be good for us either, I mean, imagine fans expectations. Best off out of that winning silverware malarkey. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 I can't believe we're not going to qualify for the Champions League in the next two years and we're going to replace Bruno with McTominay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We miss his nous and guile when he's out and we just become a huff and puff team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's by far our best player and irreplacable, as things stand. Edited March 12, 2023 by Minhosa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holloway Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 What's noticeable when he's missing is the transition from defence to attack,it's miles slower. Plus the confidence he instills in others is notable. And then the little flick right at the death putting Miggy in, nobody else is doing that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Best thing we could do this summer is put some real quality around this lad in the midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Thought he was terrific if not eye-catching. He gets is up the field so well, whether it's receiving passes from the backline with absolute confidence, playing passes himself, or travelling with the ball. Such an important player for us.

Gallowgate Toon Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Played some magical passes (couple of easier ones he just missed) but this was a tough holding fort game for him. They do have some terrific midfielders and could easily rotate in-game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Controversial but I felt it was quite a weak performance by Bruno and I adore him. He's lost his swagger somewhat in recent weeks but I don't doubt him whatsoever. Even great players can just dip slightly. Watch him fucking murder forest next week though.

Sima Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 He struggles without Joelinton next to him. I think he’s still carrying a knock as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a shame but the gap that needs to be filled is longstaff, he would be a great back up but a ball winning 6 who can pass would be top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidAK Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Thought he played well - not his best, but still absolutely class on the ball. I love him to bits, but I really really wish he'd stop grabbing the ball everytime he gets fouled he did it again today and it was a foul - but he picked up a needless booking a few games ago expecting to get the foul and ended up being a handball Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobsonsWonderland Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Think like many from the world cup...he just needs a break over the summer. I know he didn't get much game time but he worked his balls off to get there and it just seems to have been stop start with injuries and red cards. I reckon he will be another level again next season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Thought he was pretty quiet today by his usual standards. Does seem to be making a habit of giving away dangerous free kicks on the edge of the area Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

huss9 Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 was a great moment after our second when he went over to trippier and gave him a massive hug to gee him up. classy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Think he missed Joelinton big time, he sometimes gets done for pace when he's sitting deep, which is why I would prefer to see a genuine holding midfielder brought in so we can play him further forward. Just look at that piece of skill where he flicked the ball with his inside heel to set Miggy away for the Botman chance. That skill is priceless.

It is pretty big for us that we can have probably our best two players having below average games, in Trippier and Bruno. Yet still score 2 and win. Didn’t realise it was him with the header that hit the bar! Only seen it back once briefly. Has to be scoring there?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
