It was actually exceptional leadership/captaincy Bruno taking responsibility for it. He could afford the miss, Woltemade couldn’t. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we'd been 3-0 up at the time fair enough but at 2-1 it had to go to the dedicated penalty taker and tbf he put it away well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss the chance to get us level, he would have been decimated by some section of our fans. Bruno did the right thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't really see as being in a mess right now. I'm 42, and this season is still probably in the top 10 seasons of my lifetime. It's really not been that bad of a season. A bit of a disappointment sure, but it's a long way from being a complete mess. I’m 43 and I could name ten better without pausing tbh, including all of Howe’s previous ones Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenlau88210 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Who takes the pen should be something clearly decided before the match. Gordon is the 1st choice and rightly so. I think Bruno has been chosen as the 2nd option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 In fairness I don’t feel comfortable with any of our pen takers. We were blessed with Isak and Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberto2005 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I don't really like Bruno as a pen taker tbh, I feel like he's only ever going to put it in the bottom corners which gives the keeper a 50% chance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much all his pens were very well taken, and he only missed the one v his old club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven’t done better in the CL - the format has changed; we had no easy games last time. If anyone seriously thinks that PSV and that Belgian rabble were better than Dortmund, Milan and PSG then I give up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a terrible dozen game stretch in 23/24 which cost us at the end of the season. At no point this season have we looked particularly good - in comparison to a season where we beat PSG 4-1, I’d say the performances haven’t ever reached that level.

We blew teams away that season though, it was exciting and there were some brilliant wins. we just haven’t had that this season, it’s felt laboured from the off tbh.

SteV Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I fully appreciate him taking the responsibility, as captain and leader, of pens when Gordon’s not there. But please come off them before you miss an important one. They really aren’t your bag. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mid paced wait for the keeper to shift his weight, place it to the other side, is his style. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobS Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Didn’t look good at all, wish he had went off when he first said there was a problem he’s a warrior and demanded to stay on but obviously that wasn’t the case. hope it’s not too long out 😭 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Hoping it is cramp. The way he suddenly went down made me think it was a bad cramp that got him. He did gesture like it had gone, though. So fuck knows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groundhog63 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Based on nothing other than my throbbing cock, I think he'll be fine. Plastic Paddy pundit was desperate to cook up a narrative than Bruno was begging to come off but he wasn't. Held up 10 fingers whilst, clearly, asking how long left. Love the bloke and all his family. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
