Exceptional today, and probably the only player more gutted than Bruno. He left it all on the pitch and had some terrible decisions go against him. No wonder he lost his temperament near the end.

He was absolutely gutted at the end.

Didn't he give the ball away for the last goal?  I thought that's what he was gutted about

I’ll take some flak for this, I think he is a superb footballer but not a great defender.  Think we’d be better with an Enrique type. Don’t really want to see our defenders dribbling the ball all the time. He’s not quick enough either. Our defence is so exposed I think our FBs have to be the lockdown type, not playmakers. 
What he offers from an attacking perspective gets a bit lost because the rest of our attacking shape is quite devoid/poor.

But teams can regularly waltz through our midfield and get at our back line. A lock down FB would suit us better atm.

Lewis Hall is the absolute least of our worries. Exceptional footballer, unreal close control, great dribbler with real attacking threat, and a solid defender who – like nearly every fullback in the league – gets done occasionally. That's it.

I think he's getting sussed out a bit. Oppo realising he tries to dribble out of danger rather than passing.

 

Nah, he always looks for a pass before he decides to dribble. It's usually when he's already cornered and it's the best way out.

If we’re persisting with 433 then I’d be tempted to hoy him on the RW slot. 
 

Genuinely think he could be excellent there.

I think this as well. When he switched to right back at the end he seemed very decent coming inside.

 

We unfortunately are crying out for quality in the final 3rd and he’s one of the only two players we have who can do something that unlocks a defence.


It’s a moot point as we don’t have any other full backs. But would be interesting if we could try it.

Absolutely superb today, there were two player on the pitch who looked like it really mattered for them tonight for Newcastle and he was one of them. I honestly love him losing his cool a little at the end when he's trying so hard and honestly being so good and getting very little from the rest of the team. Rapidly becoming my favorite player.

He’s absolutely elite. Like top top level. I’m 46 and he’s the best LB of my lifetime comfortably. 
 

Just hope he doesn’t get unsettled when Tino goes. 


Was saying in the boozer after the game it wouldn’t be a bad thing if Tommy Toucher forgets he exists.

 

Can tell so much he was brought up playing midfield. Close control is ridiculous.

Aye. Shame Tuchel knows his from his time at Chelsea tbh. Didn’t he give him his debut?

 

Cant see how he’s not Englands starting LB at the WC at this rate. 
 

He’d be miles more of a loss than Livramento tbh. 
 

Also can’t see how there won’t be massive clubs circling this summer for him, particularly if we don’t get Europe :whistle:
