It tells you a bit about how much responsibility certain players have, and how much effort they put in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see what's wrong with the stat, if you take it for what it is. It's not supposed to tell you which players who has played the best. Do you hate heat maps aswell, since it doesn't equal effectiveness? Edited September 16, 2023 by Erikse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Looked to be playing with a bit of swagger late in the game, which was good to see. Still doesn't have the ball on a string like he does at his best though, that late chance to put Almiron through where he overhit it to the keeper is something you expect him to make look easy.

Holloway Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Seems a little subdued to me, but still showing his quality. He's an emotional character, hope that social media shite isn't affecting him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Skipped past players. Consistently passed it forward through the lines. Effective defensively. The Brentford midfield wasn’t much cop. But Bruno controlled that midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieDazzler Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Hilariously obvious he was taking down that Brentford player when he didn’t get that foul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBottle Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Solid game for me. I’d be happy to see the lad just have a few solid games on the spin and hopefully get some confidence back into his play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 (edited) He’s still a bit off the pace and that booking was complete school boy nonsense. It was verging on violent conduct. Not the first time either. Edited September 17, 2023 by Tsunami Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPL Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Bruno is slowly getting there! A couple of times he turned the midfielder and launched a dangerous attack. I just hope he and Tonali can work together in the long term. Although it was a foul in the first place, he needs to cut out the petulance. On another day and against the top 6 away from home, some incompetent referees might have viewed it as a red. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagMal Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 He looked better than he has been, some of his passing in the second half was getting back up to speed. I honestly think he has been knackered and is just getting his breath back. A year and a half in the Premier league, international commitments and starting a family, he just needed a bit of a breather Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallsendmag Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Thought he did better 2nd half. In fact that applies to the whole team. 1st half I thought he was pretty anonymous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure mild criticism of mediocre performances going back nine months can constitute hounding a player out mind. I haven't seen a single person say we need to get rid.
