Guest reefatoon Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Remember when people wanted him moved from his position in the middle He pulls all the strings from where he is and makes us what we are. Even when they try to man mark him it doesn’t stop him. The bloke is unbelievable and perfect for the role he is doing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Every single time I want him as an 8, he puts in a master class like he did yesterday and Sunday where he’s doing it all from his “base” position. I’ve sort of maintained that the best way to have Bruno at his peak powers is to have 2 other midfielders with top level engines and that continues to prove right with Willock, Joelinton and Longstaff this season. The only way id be fine with moving Bruno further up is if we added a 6 who had the ability to cover ground like our current grouping does. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 I think Bruno himself wants to play further forward. We'd be daft not to sign a DM to give us the option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or preferably one that can do things going forward as well as defensively. Would make us less predictable and give us much better tactical versatilty. Both before a game as well as swapping roles during a game if needed. As in a strong dynamic box to box midfielder that has good technical and tactical ability Edited April 6, 2023 by Ikon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be nice with one that can offer things going forward, whether that is ball carrying ability/dribbling or progressive passing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 (edited) It's crazy to think that I believe Bruno was played as a midfield destroyer at Lyon? As a midfielder - he pretty much has it all. He will be a future club captain. Edited April 6, 2023 by Big Geordie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can easily flip that and say West Ham only had their 10 minutes of joy because we sat off after going 2-0 up. Even at HT, Bruno's stats were great. It's a bit weird to label Fernandez a top midfielder and then say Bruno isn't. So far, in the PL, Bruno is more successful at dribbling, duels, intercepting, gets dribbled past less, loses the ball less, and is more of a goal threat.

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 ?

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.
