The games he started though majority he was dragged off first every match even if Joe or Bruno where having stinkers. 

quelle surprise considering how much ground he covers over the game. He's more match fit than he was, and also generally has played most minutes for Italy.

As far as I know Tonali was an Italian international earlier in the season aswell. He has been playing like today for them for a while now. It's not like Hall, who was a 19 year old talent.

 

 

 

Well there you go, you've answered it yourself.

I think part of this is the James Bunce influence. Basically, the guy hasn't played regularly for a year so manage his minutes.

I don't even know where start, his two goals are mere icing on the cake.

 

His first time passes are sublime.

His first touch assured.

His vision is great (you see that pass to Gordon).

 

But his off the ball work...

 

The way he sprints with real pace to get back, cuts out passing lanes, commits little fouls, nudges, kicks, annoys.. it's all this stuff we've been missing.

 

We all love Bruno but it just isn't his game and we even get Bruno Mk 2 which is a mile better than Longstaff.

 

Can anyone remember the West Ham away game, before his suspension, 2-2 IIRC, where he didn't deal with the situation and pretty much cost us 2 points? He was nowhere near it.

 

Now we have our gladiator that we signed and we've also got Bruno back.

MOTM nearly every game he’s played in that position  Adding goals to his game as well. 

 

Another plus to having him in that position is that he has a decent strike on him, so will be in position to thump them if the ball comes to him there in space.

Was anyone saying that ? Can't say I noticed. I was wanting him played more but could understand why he didn't as it often didn't work, him and Bruno together that is.

 

 

Bruno and Tonali have looked instantly better as a duo since they swapped positions.

Not sure Bruno has compared to the last couple of seasons but that currently seems to be our best way to go.

 

I do t see them as a duo but 2 parts of a trio
