Smal Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 5 minutes ago, Kid Icarus said: Much more like it. Bruno was quieter, but did more, and Tonali looked much more assured. Just not sure whether the final piece is Joelinton or Willock, or both I think we could actually try and control possession in games with a Tonali/Bruno/Willock midfield, but I love Joelinton too much so I’m in two minds.

buzza Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 Like Tonali in the n° 6 role. Get bruno a bit further up the pitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 Really good shift tonight, Sandro. More please! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakka Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 Think Tonali should always be playing now. He needs to be as regularly playing as Bruno. Excellent player, he's getting better for us and being used better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joelinton against the better teams where he doesn’t need to pass. Willock in teams who let us have more of the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingxlnc Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 Bruno got two assists today, with Tonali deeper. That’s the right way Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 Been crying for the longest time to get him as a DM. Now we've seen it, it needs to stay. Love the bloke. That moment in the second half where he tracked their player, bullied him off the ball and won the foul was a million miles from the Tonali we saw in the first few games last year. All this horseshit about him and Bruno can stop now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually thought Bruno was the less effective out of the trio mentioned. I love Joelinton in these games where it can get physical and Tonali was class.

That’s the right way We've massively missed him further forward doing that. Our staying up season and 4th season had Bruno making things happen in opposition half far more often. Chipped in with more goals too which we could do with as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joelintons leg the 3rd Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 Glad he's finally been played in his position but ffs did we really have to wait this long Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palestoon Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 Think moving him to CDM and pushing bruno further forward may be the turning point of the season. Gives us an extra layer of defensive solidarity and adds creativity to our attack. Get Botman back healthy and add a RW upgrade in January... Could still be a great season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronson333 Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 His first time passing when being pressed as the deepest midfielder is great, takes the opposition press totally out of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 He’s mobile, fast for a CM, even. Followed up Saturday’s performance with arguably an even better one. The 6 (4) position is his to lose now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really is, then he releases the ball really fast to team mates as well if there's a space to hit. Can't help wondering how good we would look if we had two of him.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 (edited) I think our eventual midfield will hopefully include Tonali, Bruno and a new signing. In games we want to dominate anyway. We don't really have the third piece to make it world class. For now I would either bring Miley in or go Joelinton if we sign a RW in January.
