I loved that moment. To do that in front of your box is so risky, yet with him I am in no doubt he will pull it off.

I remember when he first signed how nervous some would get when he had the ball deep in our half, under pressure and was cool as fuck.

 

Now the crowd are used to how good he is, there's no nervousness at all, no shouting "man-on" or nothing, just complete faith in his ability.

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


For the Isak goal, it him to won the ball back and then passes it to Joelinton -> Wilson -> Isak. 
 

Bruno is actually standing at the 90th percentile for tackles per game, and 72nd percentile for tackles won per game. I think he’s doing alright when it comes to winning the ball. But I do agree that we need another DM as Bruno is just phenomenal near the opponent’s box if we play 4-3-3. After today’s match, I am starting to think Eddie might try the 4-4-2 more often with Bruno and J7 as the central midfielders.

I was in love from the moment he came on for the last 5 minutes against Everton and backheeled it between two players to a teammate in his own corner from about 10 yards away. It was absolutely outrageous.

I think I said early on in his time here, that he’s the best player I’ve ever seen play for us. He’s so composed on the ball, calms everything down and just oozes class, it’s like he’s playing the game in slow motion. We’re so lucky to have him

Pretty strong quotes about his ankle issues in the Chronicle. Says he twisted it in the warm up and it's been a persistent problem since January.

Thankfully have a week in between games for the majority of the season now

Would explain his grimaces after the final whistle and Eddie checking up on him immediately after each game. Hopefully something a week off will solve, or at least get him to the end of the season where it can be sorted properly.

I hate those. Once it rolls the first time, it seems that every uneven surface or awkward step is a twist waiting to happen. Hope we could keep it together until the end of the season.
