Who else loves me saying the wrong thing, and then correcting it on screen with a typo 😂😂💚
You just made a case for Frenkie De Jong. A player who carries the ball, who can beat a press and control the tempo while leaving Bruno higher the pitch.
Wow. Some actual analysis on Bruno. As opposed to we shouldn't sell him cuz he's crucial with no explanation as to why…
Bruno is a good player but he plays with the ball as if its too hot and he got to get it away from is feet 😂😂😂
If every time you gain possession you give it away by trying to play through balls to your pacy forwards, you are stretching the team out vertically – leaving too much ground to defend with the forward trio already out of the game.
Bruno isn't the only culprit but he's the major culprit.
He needs to play more like he did against Villa and pick his moments to try the high risk/high reward passes.
(Man think of how many times we see Bruno run back to make a key block. Rooney Syndrome)
Really feels like we're all losing faith in ETH. What's weird is we saw how savvy Ten Hag could be last year. His results last year were excellent. A Cup and a final with that start? Brilliant. The team just looks sketchy as all hell this year. Is he stubborn and off?
Agree with your solution. He's so good that it's worth working around. That casemiro buy was just classic woodward with a hole we needed to fill solved in a horribly way strategically. 70mil for Case was just so bad given his age and now given his profile.
Bruno is our main line breaker with those passes and an engine off the ball. gotta channel those two things
Wow first time you've shown objectivity however still alot of hyperbole in terms if passing its a lot of hit hope and his weight of pass is still sketchy
These passes your claiming are perfectly weighted only work due to the pace of our atttackers
Mainoo also plays in the same system so why’s Mainoo not playing the same way Bruno plays . We must move on from Bruno and get someone asap
Let me know who u want at the number 6/8 role
Let's not forget he has the tendency to foul near the box. You still remember 2 free kicks of Galatasaray in CL, don't you? A lot of people blamed Onana but I thought it was Bruno's big big mistake to give away 2 free kicks so naively. He pisses me off in a lot of games this season.
mount needs game time, amad needs game time
antony, rashford need a new challenge
awb, maguire, varane need to move out
one more season for onana to prove he can play in the epl
bruno stays
I think Bruno's shortcomings are way more pronounced this season when he's also actually out of form and aren't getting any goals and way fewer assists. People have been talking about how much Bruno was giving the ball away almost since he first came. But when he's involved in 60-70% of our goals, this isn't much of an issue. If nothing else we should consider ourselves extremely lucky he didn't end up at Liverpool. Imagine how many more goals he would have helped them get the last few years. They would have won more titles for sure.
I think we've seen Bruno played in a much more controlled manner at times. So I think he's able to play in a more retaining possession if those are the tactics by the gaffer. It's probably not his prefered playing style. But if Ten Hag decides it's time to curb the constant transitioning and have a higher % of possession, I think Bruno can still be a part of that.
What i like about Bruno is whenever we got a free-kick or corner he suddenly become a major threat. Attack for Defend is not so much…
Bruno is the definition of a Route One player. boy is way too eager to get rid of the ball on his feet he will keep flinging the ball forward and boom there goes them chance created stacking up.
Sell Bruno while he has good value on his name; maybe getting rid of Bruno and others will help Ten Hag get the football that he wants, whatever that may be
You cannot win a league with Bruno fernandes starting all 38 games. He’s suitable for some games where transition is key he’s bad at settled possession
Could it also be tactical, Rashford and Garnacho also dont cross so much, Bruno isn't playing as a 2nd Striker type of Am that he was under OGS, we really need a technical midfielder to compliment Bruno, we had Pogba back then, dont know he is available but in a perfect world Musiala would be amazing for Utd.
Bruno came to United when we were a serious transitioning team and performed, ever since we tried to switch from that to play a more possession-based football he has been struggling, and I'm shocked you said he helps a lot against low-block teams, he's rather clueless against such teams but very good against teams that setup highlines and possess most of the ball allowing us to to sit deep and counter, that's when he plays well, because in transitioning he has all the time in the world to give the right pass, I don't think he's a number 10 for possession-based football, we need a young player who is a different profile, you can't control games with such a 10
Bruno is gold in a system like Ole's. Quick transitional approach. Is good in games ETH goes for that approach too.
I think most peoples issue with it is yes, he can make magic happen but when it comes to a point when we need to slow down he doesn't seem to have an off switch. that needs to be coached into him or well always be vulnerable to getting overwhelmed
Nooooo i wont accept that Bruno is decent from range. Hell fkn no! I'd argue he's our worst from range! he skys it everytime. Everytime there as a schole-esqu lay off to Bruno i know its going over the bar. every time!
bruno is truly the type of player that managers like klopp or nagelsmann would love, in a proper gegenpressing team he'd really shine
To those who wants to sell bruno for the right price. With whom do we replace him with? Jude? Never gonna leave Madrid. Writz? Not even close to Bruno's numbers and he has time to improve but Leverkusen's asking price is gonna be insane, probably 100+ million quid.
It'd be cheaper to keep Bruno and sign one ball carrying midfielder and a creative traditional right footed right winger.
So, stop talking out of your b-holes if you don't have a solution to the problem.
Good content as usual, however, to your actual question – yes Bruno Fernandes is a problem for us.
Fans who said this 2yrs ago were called haters, no. If we want United to sit alongside the elite in Europe, he has to be sold.
Statically and through some of your screenshots, you've showed us some of his "chances created". However, as fans, we watch games with our eyes – where are the big chances that our players are missing. I dont recall him laying chances for Rasmus on a plate.
Please dont compare his loss of possession stats to players who play in ball dominant sidee, such a weak argument, not even worth a response.
The guy is a hindrance to us. The last play v Luton on Sunday sums him up. To give away the ball in 90+ mins, only to allow Luton to earn a corner and almost score.
It annoys me that in his age,he keeps trying to do it all himself with a killer ball instead of using his head to read the game. No other player and no other serious teams waste the ball like that.
We should sign Ross Barkley as a free agent. He is an effective ball carrier good physical profile in both boxes. As a former number 10 he has a good record for key passes and is somewhat press proof. He comes on cheap wages and we could swap him out for Erikson or Mctomminay who Aren’t well equipped to play in a high press gagenpressing game with possession elements that it looks like we want to play with the first 11.
Bruno can’t dribble, his left is non existent, he can’t control.. He should be a super sub, like McT..
Spot on.
He is overated , does through passes he makes can be made by anyone Lindeorf, casmeiro, mainnoo can also do it , he isnt press resistant ……. wastes our balls and cant control the midfield.
At last people are willing to talk about him not being the midfielder you'd want in a possession based side..
Anyone saying Bruno should be sold knows nothing
