Mike Posted September 23, 2024 Share Posted September 23, 2024 Do we specifically have a thread where we talk shit about Craig Hope? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted September 23, 2024 Share Posted September 23, 2024 I don't read enough sports news for my opinion to have evolved sufficiently but I feel like once upon a time he was decent? Or was it just he always hated the club and back then his views and my own were in alignment? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted September 23, 2024 Share Posted September 23, 2024 (edited) Someone said they thought Bruno looked a bit burnt out and I agree. He's played a lot of football but he also has had so much responsibility in our team in that period too. We've relied on him massively to do a fuck load of defensive work, and take on a fairly massive mantle in build up, possession, and being creative too. It's no surprise he's covering the distances he does. Let's hope we can introduce Sandro now to take some more of that burden from him.

Upthemags Posted September 23, 2024 Share Posted September 23, 2024 Think Bruno is catching a frankly ridiculous amount of criticism from fans and Hopes. He's carried dead weight in the midfield for a year plus now. Tonali was supposed to ease the pressure, but there doesn't seem too much interest in that pairing at the moment. Far too easy for oppositions to target Bruno in the midfield when his two colleagues in the midfield can't punish teams with an incisive pass, or taking on their man.

He seems to have to turn away from 3-4 challenges at time due to lack of an out ball. Not just in the goal he gave away, which was just careless, but happens too often in central areas as well. We need more players with his ability to shield the ball and carry it into space. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted September 23, 2024 Share Posted September 23, 2024 He has definitely been overdoing it on occasion this season when he's had easier passes. I can't be too annoyed watching a player try something different though when everything else is so laboured (Barnes aside). He's also usually very good at it but his body looks a second behind his brain, at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibierski Posted September 23, 2024 Share Posted September 23, 2024 Rodri out for the season. Really wouldn’t be surprised if Man City come in with a £100m bid in January for him now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobS Posted September 23, 2024 Share Posted September 23, 2024 Based on how Bruno’s been playing the start of this season, do we think City would actually put in a bid? I’m not so sure! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
