I only came in to check I wasn't insane for thinking I'd seen what I'd seen. I was happy as soon as Pexbo said it looked like a dive.
Seeing how many suggestive ways we can phrase this sounds much more fun than this conversation but I've probably already dragged us away from his performance enough.I realise that last example was rather unfortunate
Conquer this place? Yes. Inject this into my veins.Bruno Fernandes: "This is what I want to do and what I need to do. Everyone knows we want to get into the Champions League places. I am here to help the team conquer this place and keep winning games."
That would also be an option. I saw something else today that could bode well for us. in the second half, our centre midfielders sat deep as a tandem, let our wings play wide, and used Fernandes as support for the flanks . It worked. I like how solid we looked defensively and how organized it was offensively. With Rashford and Sancho back, this would be really helpful. We can't rely on our fullbacks for width as both Shaw and AWB are really good defensively, by playing with wide forwards, it protects the full backs from their defensive weaknesses.
Only polite to return the favour.I realise that last example was rather unfortunate
Why the hell should you bring Pogba when you are talking about Brunos performances? Seriously, enjoy his show buddy. Let's spare Pogba in one thread for once.
To be fair, Bruno is pretty much Pogba's replacement. So if ever there was a player performance thread to bring Pogba into, this would probably be the one
Careful, or you'll have people mocking you for thinking all you need is a bit of character to play for Man United.
He is a good player on top of that, it's very evident. This team lacks characters though therefor he is welcomed.
Slam dunk! for those "it's only Watford" posts.
Can we give it to 4 players? Feels like Rashford and Fred deserve one. And Maguire is slowly taking the claim.
Fully agree.70% passing today... no good.
Remember when people used to obsess over that? Fergie wouldve loved Bruno. Someone always looking forward, the vision and ability to play those killer passes and the confidence to always take them on. Sorely been lacking.
If Bruno is Pogba's replacement that is another example of being terribly run.To be fair, Bruno is pretty much Pogba's replacement. So if ever there was a player performance thread to bring Pogba into, this would probably be the one
Fred is a creative player. Not in the Pogba or Bruno's level, but he has it in him. It's just he has to spend most of the time defending, because Matic can't hold on his own. His through ball to Bruno today, and to Ighalo against Chelsea as recent examples.
Just a shame Rashford had to get his massive injury the same time he joined.
Deco was more of a wide type playmaker but didn’t have the turn of pace. I prefer Bruno’s style and productivity but Deco sure was easy on the eye at his peak and probably kept the ball better. More the typical Barcelona type midfielder.
Isn't Rui Costa the usual comparison with Bruno?
Yes I have a short memory, Rashford has to be the front runner. It would be nice if PoTY was a contest this season, seems like in recent years there have been few standouts to choose from.
I’m not sure about that mate. I was huge Deco fan and he was your typical number 10. He became more of a 8 at Barca but I don’t recall him being comfortable in wider positions.
Forgot to say it was better for him to sign for Manchester United than going to Spurs to be managed by Mourinho. Probably would be playing as a striker against Leipzig and Chelsea. Good decision for his carrer.
