Rod Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Just now, Heron said: Bruno wasn't shite like. Lead by example on a few occasions. I don't feel anyone was particularly excellent or shite tbh. Stand out players for us were Joelinton, Tino and Tonali. Bruno was shite and could easily have given two penalties away by his abysmal tackling. You know it but can't bring yourself to slag off wor Bruno. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abacus Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 17 minutes ago, Rod said: The two terrible tackles in the box that should have been penalties. But we will forgive that because......... well its Bruno. He's mental man, we love him. Had to listen on the radio tonight and then watched the highlights later, so maybe this is nonsense. First penalty shout I thought would have been very soft. But if it was given, I can't see it being overturned either, so agreed that was daft. On the second one, even their manager didn't really dispute it - but it was an on the edge challenge where a fraction of misjudgement means a pen. He was just on the right side of that one, but it was still reckless. In general it sounded like Tonali was running the show, never mind that amazing goal. That fair?

r0cafella Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Just watched the game and thought we got away with it tbh. Brentford should have had another pen at least More than happy to walk away with 3 points mind, Brentford are a very solid side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBottle Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I thought Bruno was poor and very lucky not to give away a pelanty a couple of times - it was one of those nights. But what matters is the result. Hopefully Miley can develop fast and give us an option to take Bruno off when he has games like today - no-one should be undroppable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groundhog63 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Tbf if it wasn't for the clash of heads we'd have had a penalty when Bruno was pushed by pushy Shade Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boey_Jarton Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Thought the ref got all the pen calls for both teams correct. The Bruno one was somewhat annoying as the clash of heads makes no impact on what follows but it was a foul. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Schade was disgraceful by the way, lost every duel with Triplier and must have committed about 8 fouls. Incredible he didn’t get a yellow card. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully we came through it. The ease with which we handled Mbuemo might concern the recruitment department a bit. Good side, IMO. Bryan Mbeumo is a real handful.

LFEE Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 9 hours ago, Rod said: The two terrible tackles in the box that should have been penalties. But we will forgive that because......... well its Bruno. He's mental man, we love him. First one you can debate. Push looked heavier than it probably was hence the ref in a perfect spot not giving it. Not saying we didn’t get a little lucky but sometimes those ones look worse on TV then when you are stood beside the action. The second one Bruno got his foot in front and therefore he was actually fouled. Even the Brentford manager said that one wasn’t a penalty but did feel the first one was. I’ve been one of the few from the start who has been balanced regarding Bruno and how his lack of pace would never have teams paying £80-100m for his services and we are ultimately at around his level if we continue to hit European spots. Ultimately when he’s not in the team we tend not to win so there must be something good about him? PS Forgot to mention his nice 3 way interchange which set up Barnes for his trademark chance that nearly give us the lead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elma Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Looking at the goal again, I think Tonali's comments of 70/30 were about right. He was running out of space, glanced up and saw only really Wilson in the box (there were two others on the edge), and made the intelligent split-second decision to hammer it in on goal, as a floated cross would have easily been claimed by Flekken. It was a percentage ball. Did he mean to hit that postage stamp at the near post - no. Was it meant as a cross for a teammate - no. With the pace on the ball he was likely hoping for a defender to gamble, a mix-up or the keeper to spill it. It also had a slight chance of finding the net directly, which thankfully for us it did. For that reason, in my opinion he deserves full credit for it. He played a cracking ball in with great technique and got a little lucky. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good at getting everyone behind the ball and working hard, offered very little else. Thought Mbeumo was complete pocketed by Tino. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andycap Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Glad for the win but we need to sort these three or four players not turning up kind of performances. Isak Bruno Murphy looked pretty poor yesterday but the rest managed to keep us in it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
