He was better second half and more so because WHU had dropped off badly after conceding the third but was overrun the first half. Still waiting for him to dominate a top team away from home. Watched Enzo properly for the first time on Tuesday and you can see what the extra £65m gives you as ridiculous as that fee was. The extra pace, power and mobility. That bit extra top midfielders have. Still love him though ? Hope he makes me eat my words at Stamford Bridge last game of the season if there’s something to play for. Not sure if serious.

Bruno pisses all over Enzo right now. Enzo against Liverpool was pretty bad, dropped deep to collect ball but was nothing special. Not sure we saw the same game. Kante on the other hand was fantastic. Bruno is the heart and soul of a team sitting 3rd right now. Without him, as evident when he was suspended, this team is a mid-table side.

The Prophet Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 "World class" like "big club" is such a subjective bar that it's almost irrelevant. Bruno is a brilliant footballer who would slot into any midfield in the league, perhaps bar City. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that the Enzo alongside Kante and Kovacic in what was really a middle 5 that still didn't create much against a midfield that most think has lost its legs ?

LiquidAK Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 This guy has been in the league just over a year and is already a good shout to being the best in the league. Still can’t believe we got him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUICE690 Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 (edited) Needs to stop with those rash challanges just outside the box mind you. Could have been the 2nd goal we would have conceded from them. Edited April 6, 2023 by JUICE690 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionOfGosforth Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Enzo is good, perhaps very good but it just serves to highlight what an outrageous deal we got signing Bruno for a THIRD of the cost. Bruno is an absolute mentality monster from day ONE, we were bottom 3 and he just wanted to get out there and play and get a struggling team the points they needed in a dogfight and fuck the pressure. Magnificent human as well. Wouldn't swap him for anyone in the world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Interesting what happens in the summer with a new midfielder(s) to help unlock Bruno. I think we're seeing so much more positional fluidity that a specialist DM wouldn't fit in the majority of games, it'll be another who can do a bit of everything but is maybe more physically explosive than Bruno is.

timeEd32 Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Some random Bruno league stats: - Our record with him this season: 14W, 7D, 1L - Our record without him: 0W, 4D, 2L - As a starter he’s lost five games ever - In the last calendar year he has started 30 games. We’ve won 20, drawn 7, and lost 3. - 2 of the 3 losses were away to Man City - As a starter he’s only ever lost ONE game at SJP (0-1 to Liverpool) There may be a few better players in the league, but you’d be hard pressed to find one more important to their team.

Paully Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 I literally can’t get my head around how we managed to sign him when we were relegation fodder! I’m not being deluded here but he’d walk into any team in the league! He’s not only a magnificent player but he’s also a magnificent person! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Watching him on Wednesday, I'm getting less and less sold on this idea of replacing him and moving him further upfield. In our current system, he's doing so well where he is, and in practice he is able to get forward quite a lot. He seems to love being at the heart of the team, and relishes the responsibility. Maybe a midfield player who could deputise there in the event of his absence, but who would usually play box to box. Dare I say, that may be what Eddie has in mind with McTominay. Not saying he's necessarily right, but he nearly always is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 (edited) You can see what a massive difference it makes having players with top top technical quality and ability like Isak and Bruno. To get to the next level and compete at the top we need players like these with ridiculous technical ability on top of their other strengths. It doesn’t mean that we can’t find or buy slightly cheaper players. But McTommy isn’t the answer. Technical ability, can’t stress it enough in todays football.

Holloway Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 I'm firmly in the camp of getting a mobile dm in to free up Bruno, he got beasted in a couple of tackles just outside our box, he's not such a strong ballwinner Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
