What sets him apart in the deeper role is how quickly he moves the ball with those first time passes, whereas Bruno tends to get bogged down a bit. We have 2 there now that are capable of reading situations very early, it's very exciting

Once they work out how good he is, they’ll be linked to him rather than Bruno to replace Rodri.

 

Said this last week, although I obviously don't want to tempt fate. City are one of the few clubs who could probably afford him, I think any delusions the Italians had that he could end up back there have gone up in smoke.

Helps that he can kick a ball further than 20 yards without having to wind up :lol:

Also his pace, which I admittedly did not appreciate

please please please don't get a yellow against Villa to be suspended MU game at Old Trafford 

 

I still don't think we're winning that game, it'll probably be similar to last season (which we should've won tbf)

When does the accumulated cards thing reset? Schar has been one booking away for awhile and I imagine Bruno is close also?

“As highlighted previously, any Premier League player who receives five yellow cards is given an automatic one-match ban. However, this ends after the 19th league match of the season before it resets and starts again”

 

2 games to go!

Eeesh, two tough games to try and get through then for our two highest tackle % players I imagine.

Bruno is on 3 yellow cards after 17 matches. He's not massively likely to pick up two more in two games. Especially now he's playing a more attacking role.

Remember how he miraculously avoided that 5th yellow last season after what seemed like a gazillion games!

It was his 10th yellow he was avoiding, would have been a 2 games ban

It was yes! Even more incredible he managed to avoid it. That’s when he showed incredible emotional control.

Is there even the slightest hint of substance to the rumours of him going back to italy? He's playing too well to be throwing a strop I would have thought, is it just italian media being mad again? I do wonder if agent has made enquiries but surely we wouldnt sell except for the kind of offer italian clubs can't afford...

Already been rubbished by his agent (via romano’s twitter).

Yeah was refering to Schar and Tonali especially now he's sitting the deepest of the midfielders. But yeah surprised Bruno only had 3 as feels like he gets booked most games, but he proved last year he can avoid of necessary so wasn't worried about him.

 

Schar on the other hand has picked up some really silly and soft cards this year. 

 

It's also a lottery what sort of ref were gonna get. The one we had against Brentford in the cup was giving them out like candy for everyone's first tackle.

What an engine. Not seen a midfielder for us get about the pitch since…. well don’t even know. 


He was playing CB, LB, LW and attacking mid towards the end of the game :lol: it was like he got bored and decided to start getting even more involved with everything. 

 

Bobby Lee?

Can’t remember a more complete centre mid we’ve had… I mean the more attacking ones like Dyer, Cabaye ,Rob Lee I don’t think we’re as strong defensively.

 

Then the more defensive ones couldn’t ping it around like him. The likes of Tiote, Batty etc.

 

Maybe Speed was the closest to all round package..obviously apart from Bruno.
