Geordie Ahmed Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago He's superb, there were some sloppy passes but on the whole he was magnificent I absolutely adore his one touch passes, gets the team into great positions quicker and doesn't give the opposition time to settle Just felt inevitable after his time out and the way he was supported that we'd get to see the very best of him, the ban could well turn out to be a blessing in disguise Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago Just showed one of his ‘mistakes’ on MOTD and it was actually Murphy getting blocked off by a defender that meant the pass didn’t work. Not always easy to read that stuff live. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick one touch passes, accurate longer balls, and moves into spaces on attack. I noticed that today. Tracks back at full speed too. Seems like a very complete player.

Him as the 6, and Bruno pushed up to the 8 is like the missing pieces (RW for cherry on the cake) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago He’s constantly scanning the pitch when he’s back while the others attack too. Lovely awareness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Felt like when he was playing as an 8, he only had Isak in front of him who could think and play at the same speed as him. He now has Bruno as an option as well and it opens up so many quick attacking opportunities for us. I mention it quite a lot, but his speed of play and thought is so good.

Groundhog63 Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Not 100% but I think it was the West Ham game when a few times things didn't fall into place for him and he looked very very frustrated. Not with himself but with his teammates because it was their fault. Iirc one time it was Murphy, for eg. I remember thinking, instantly, "that's not good, son" but then reassessing my take into it being a great thing. He didn't get into any gesticulation or drama, just had pain in his face 😂 I'm hoping, as leader and midfield General, he's had words. Certainly seems to be gelling well now.

CPL Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago He is such an elegant and classy player and makes it look so easy. I can't remember ever having a player like that for us. I know @Milanista (still gutted he no longer posts here) use to say he is more Gattuso than Pirlo. For me, I'm edging more towards Pirlo but there's an argument of both players. On the ball - Pirlo Off the ball - Gattuso Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erikse Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago 12 hours ago, Tsunami said: His mobility and athleticism at a 6 is different level to Bruno. I still feel there is a little “clash” between the 2 as Bruno sees himself as a 6. If and when they click and become comfortable in the system, we’ll have a midfield to be reckoned with. Add a top RW option and we’ll cause all kinds of problems. Bruno has said multiple times that he prefers being an 8, but he can play as a 6 when the manager needs him to. Pretty sure he enjoys being able to create goals for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago The other bonus with Tonali is that he allows Joelinton just to crack on and do his thing too, he’s kind of released both Bruno and Joelinton to do what they do best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oregon_Geordie Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Love the guy. Elegant as fuck with a warrior mentality. Proper Italian Midfielder and he's ours. We are a world class right winger and a fast centre halve away from being a serious force. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
