et tu brute Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 I actually thought he was more than ok yesterday, did some very decent things (Isac's second goal) and won quite a few free kicks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forced a save that led to the first goal and won the free kick for the second. I am so excited to watch these three in midfield, hopefully for a long time.

Kid Icarus Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 What's all this nonsense? Desperation to be seen as insightful by seeing something no one else did? ie because it wasn't there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 4 hours ago, Kanji said: Bruno was more than fine. He was key in our 3rd with his press breaking run and pass to Gordon. He made mistakes like all players do. He’ll get back to it sooner than later. people love just picking every single mistake yet never just accept that people have them. Jesus. I don't think it's that, just because he plays in such a pivotal area of the pitch, if he gets robbed of the ball it often leads to a goal chance for the opposition. At the same time, if he rides the challenge successfully, like he does 90% of the time, he is usually in a great position to set us going. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 This place is proper irking me now with the over analysis, making up reasons to slag people off or find the most detailed minute criticisms.

alexf Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 I don't think he was terrible overall but was below his level. This isn't a pile on after just one bad game but I have thought for quite awhile that I don't think he will ever reach elite level purely due to his athleticism. He's a great technical player and plays with intelligence most of the time but he's just not blessed physically like some of the great elite players have been. But hopefully that just means he will spend the best years of his career here and not at Real or Barca or somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 9 times out of 10 the answer is somewhere in the middle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was probably a shade harsh on him after watching this. Lots of the things I love, he just looked a bit frustrated at points. I think regardless he'll have some real fun in the games where we're touching 60% possession and Tonali can offer another point of focus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrRaspberryJam Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Seems a handful of sloppy passes is now enough to get categorised as a shit performance. Bruno was fine yesterday. Not his best performance but was still his busy industrious self. Just enjoy the ride man y’all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think that was more down to the fact he came up against a more than capable opponent in Douglas Luiz. He was fine, pretty damn good infact. Absolute codswallop to state anything different tbh.

I'll see someone poster, and wonder what negative they will highlight immediately. To deny that is absurd. This is the most down I have felt in ages. I am locked in an endless ordeal of color correction for something that may not even ever get seen, and I count my lucky stars that I am not as miserable as a few appear on here.

I thought Luiz and Kamara were good in patches but neither was good enough without the ball. Bruno exceeded their level. Playing better than your opponents should be enough like…… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
