Obvious context is he’s been brilliant for us, but he blazed a shot over which he seems to do more lately, gave the ball away with poor passes not long before that outside of the foot one, which was a dangerous give away. I hope he has a level head, I didn’t like him wasting energy on that tweet, he needs to just play with a bit more nous.

He did okay today, despite that mistake. Nonetheless, I don’t think he’s exerting the same level of control and composure in a midfield that he’s demonstrated previously. That loss of composure is also unfortunately having a notable impact on the team, simply because of how pivotal his role is.

The pass for their goal wasn't as bad as I thought, watching it back, but there were some poor mistakes 10 minutes prior to that but he did loads of good stuff up to that point. Maybe it was Tonali going off leading to more gaps or perhaps he's not up-to-speed fitness wise so lost composure.

nice guy, nice smile, but massively overrated!

 

FFS you know what i was right to close this place at end of game, I should stay away for a few more days though. Just...ffs. Hope this is a joke.

Ah, back to having a go at players on social media.

 

We're not going to handle any kind of setback well now we've only just had a small sniff of success huh?

 

Sure this is all going to end really well.

Then he went and did that. Staggeringly stupid attempt at a pass.

 

Finding it hard not to be absolutely fucking raging at him like. ?

It's strange cos this is exactly how I saw it, thought he was having one of his best games in a long time but then seeing loads of comments of people slating him for being poor

 

Wonder whether we watched a different game or whether people have allowed the mistake at the end cloud their judgement

He’s repeatedly caught in posession in the exact same places, the exact same way at the minute. He was good at avoiding pressure, not sure what’s happened 

 

Teams are keying in on him big time in those deep areas.

 

I miss him playing as a number 8 without having to do so much in those deeper areas. 

 

Still maintain when he was further up and Shelvey was deep, was when he was at his best.

 

Wish we'd have got a more athletic rugged DM that could pass a bit, so that Bruno could just be further up not having to battle so much.

In fact just watching that last goal back ... it's such a high risk pass to make from that position and at that moment.

 

We really could do with a DM that doesn't take so many risks from that position. Great when it comes off but so dangerous and often costly when it doesn't.

 

Really difficult to be too mad at Bruno because he has stated a preference to play further up, but it seems it's not something we're looking to do anymore.

Sometimes he just tries too hard - looking for the Hollywood pass. His brilliance when he first joined was that he kept it simple.

I remember a quote about Isak in the Athletic, think it was from a former coach at AIK, along the lines of "he doesn't get too high in the good moments or low in the bad moments. It's a good trait to have".

 

Bruno definitely does not have that trait.

These new wum sign ups need looking into, plenty in the last 18 months lurking around, and waiting for days like today to pounce.

 

Can spot them a mile away.

Yup totally agree. We used to do the same to RTG until they locked it down.

He was good yesterday, problem is A) he has no recovery pace B) he sometimes keeps the ball too long. You can clearly see he is not a no 6 in traditional way. it benefits us that he can play those nice passes to tight areas, but it would be more useful to have him higher and receiving the ball in tight spaces, winning free kicks etc. Still think our tactic with 3 box-to-box midfielders is not the best way.
