KetsbaiaIsBald Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) Lots of slagging off of the local journalists but doesn’t that basically mean that we’re keeping things quiet and the leaks are at the other end? That’s a good thing right? edit: not saying Luke Edwards is not a cunt. edit 2: been drinking in the sun. I think by double negative is correct.

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. Bruno is everywhere. He's like Gazza, might not be the long distance runner, but over a short burst can usually beat his man no problem. We sometimes forget just how good a footballer he is, even when not fully fit he was manipulating the ball in ways which would compensate. I don't think he's bad at shooting either.

Aye, I don't think anyone has been slagging them off, it's just more of an acceptable they're given very little information and knowingly or are passively used to plant stories in the media. Edwards has always got abuse because he's a bald melt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To continue my argument I’d have to be supportive of the other hairier melts like Ryder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingArthur Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 59 minutes ago, Conjo said: Without checking to verify, I feel like most of Brunos goals have come from long shots and late runs into the box? A flick from corner against Southampton, a corner goal against Leicester, a quick counter against Leicester (could say a late run to the box in 90th minute) a breakaway chip v Norwich, rebound against Arsenal, header v Brentford, long range strike against Brentford, long range against Southampton, tap in from a corner v Sheffield Wednesday, late run in the box against Brighton in 90th minute. I think they are all there. A lot of set piece goals and 2 long range ones were decent shot, curled in the bottom corner. I would still say he is better at making the killer pass. But we will see, both can certainly pass damn well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"No more signings lads. we;ve made one, lets give it a few days before we go for another. Oh, and by the way - can someone let Luke know." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

greydos Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Before the summer window started I was thinking we’d sign a no. 6 that can play 8 at a push, and a number 10/winger that could play 8 at a push. But our first midfield signing is a number 8, and one who has played best as the left hand no.8. That’s the side we have the most talent with JLinton and and Willockinho. So it has me wondering, could Eddie’s next magic trick be a software update of JLinton that turns him full on beast mode as a 6? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the sites fbref and the like have him central and he played mainly on the right for Italy the other night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) Looking at his heatmap he was RCM last year and LCM this year. Apparently was better last year. Not sure if they were in a 3, a 2, or a mix of both though. Edited June 25, 2023 by Hanshithispantz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Also Tonali is 23. Its not set in stone where his best position lies. I'm absolutely certain that if Bruno is out, Tonali will play number 6, perhaps he will even start as a number 6 with Bruno in a double pivot. Our midfield 3 isn't conventional at the best of times. There has been plenty of times where Bruno has been our highest player up the field. If its possible, I think we play some sort of triple pivot. When one presses the next man covers the half space. The only thing that Tonali probably doesn't possess is the ball retention/press proof play as a deep lying player on the ball, that Bruno does but then most players in the world don't.

STM Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Also, Tonali will be drip fed into the side. We know Howe well enough to know that he won't be fired straight into our first 11. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackflap Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Makes sense. Always best to give yourself a cooling off period after a new signing, keeps you from getting giddy, going on a binge and developing Boehlycoholism. We're smart bastards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) Our points return against Man City and Liverpool was horrific, we need quality in the side so I hope he and any other top class players we buy are thrown straight in.

Optimistic Nut Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 If he'd not been at the U21s and he was getting a full pre-season I'd put him straight in, he'll be a few weeks behind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
