I thought he was fairly poor when watching the game, half-cut on Saturday. Since seen the extended highlights and the Bruno reel on Twitter. I think he looked quality. 
 

Some loose stuff with the ball and caught in possession a few times. But he has set the bar so high. That a 7 from him seems like a bad or below par performance.

At the end of last season he started to get caught with the ball, but he had the excuse of the ankle injury.

It could also be that teams have worked out that he likes to hold on to the ball, small details in how to dispossess the opposition. Players will be studied to the nth degree...

He needs to adapt or get out of the dip as soon as possible as he is the fulcrum of our team, what makes us tick!

Twitter ITK claiming he returned overweight and in poor shape for pre-season.

Not saying he didn't, but the directive for him and his ankle (and his wedding) was to rest yourself and enjoy.  People love making shit up though.

He was gaming last night with Tonali at about midnight, according to his instagram :lol:

Whilst ordering UberEats, and munching on bowls of wotsits, ice cream and full fat coke…?

The more I see of this guy the more i realise how important to the squad he is.  Everyone seems to gravitate towards him - you could see for instance when Tonali scored his goal it was Bruno he was looking for.  His attitude and personality is just as important as his ability - for me he's the one player we couldnt afford to lose.

As much as Howe loves his bright young English talent, Bruno and Joelinton are the beating hearts of this team. Their attitude is absolutely Howe's philosophy made manifest on the pitch, full of positivity but also hard nosed laser focused when needs to be. No selfishness.

Big Joe is an example to all. Believe in yourself, knuckle down, keep trying. Don’t ever give up.  Dreams can come true!

If there was a problem then there's absolutely no chance he would've played against Villa. Every player looked fitter than their opposite number.

 

Unrelated, I love that he and Tonali are already buddies (see avatar). 

 

Forget sometimes what a class act this guy is. A truly exceptional player that adores the club. That's what it's all about as a fan.

Not sure what's but he's been pretty average since the League Cup final tbh.

Seems to dwell on the ball too long and get himself closed down, plus his first touch on the run has been poor lately. Hopefully he snaps out if it.

he was much, much better tonight btw.


Completely agree. He did lose the ball a few times, but felt at times it was because the ball was played to him in very difficult circumstances unlike pre-season and last weekend where he would dwell on the ball for a year before losing it.
