Kid Icarus Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 His percentage of quality balls from set pieces seems very high. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Boyo Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 He’s contributed to both goals. Very composed . Great through balls and quick to get in a tackle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has been mentioned hundred times, but he clearly fits the Longstaff-role perfectly. Longstaff's finishing was not that good, and he is quite one footed. Tonali can possible play that Bruno-role and give him a rest once in a while with no problem. Can't see us using a rigorous set of roles within the midfield with Longstaff, Joelinton, Bruno & Tonali. The exception is maybe Willock, but all the others can do everything. If Bruno or Tonali carries the ball on the left side of midfield I can see Joelinton slotting in to cover and vice versa with Longstaff/Bruno on the right if Tonali is starting in the center and goes on a run on the right. Like total football, just restricted to the central midfield positions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of curiosity - based on what? Bruno has scored more than him the last two seasons. 21/22 season Bruno equaled Tonalis number of goals, but did it in under half of the number of games.

And does he have the legs to make those late runs to the box? He is great but not the quickest. And one of his biggest strenghts is those through balls to the box and little combinations that he has constantly played with Longstaff or Almiron. But this is just my opinion from the little I have seen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 One thing I've noticed, he literally goes everywhere. He's sometimes on the right wing, sometimes edge or his box, sometimes in the middle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palace are apparently interested too if Zaha goes to the Saudi league. Would seem like a good fit for the versatile young forward we are looking for. 30-35m though. We could likely do better abroad.
