Dear lord this is a terrible post.Lingard has scored in a cup final for the club while Bruno has gone missing in 4 semi finals and bottles every big game. So you're right maybe they deserve Lingard

Amazing! So if you think Bruno is a 3, then surely you must think Salah, Mane and Firmino were all a 2 out of 10? Not a single worthy shot on target between them. Less than what Bruno did.3 is fair. How would you have rated him? I can only remember the free kick being the only good thing he did.
Making lots of attempts isn't bad, its more he tries it when it clearly isn't on. He can do it with fewer attempts as he has the quality to make good passes but he tries some outrageous ones that were never on and he needs to cut that out.KDB was always a great passer, only thing that changed was his position on the pitch. Before Pep, he played out wide a lot so obviously his pass completion would be lower. KDB is still a risky passer, but it just shows his quality that he's able to continue to be risky and have around 82% PS.
Bruno can make fantastic passes but the number of attempts he needs to pull this off is too many for a No.10 in my opinion. I certainly agree with the poster that said Pep would not be a fan at all.
Or maybe he’s just not Iniesta. I think we are over doing what he is. Besides the reputation he currently has, he doesn’t have that skill set in his locker. Regardless of rest, but he does need to learn how to take care of it better regardless of the risk reward rubbish people say.Great analysis. Ive noticed he is very immobile on the ball which is the difference between him and De bruyne. Debruyne can power run with the ball and dribble one or two players while bruno cant. If you watch bruno closely you will see that sometimes he crosses from a standstill.
I think a quick solution may be a prolonged rest for him. Its my only explanation for why more times he doesn't run with the ball and other times he does. Maybe he is reserving energy or something.
Yeah he’s turned up on big games. The tactics don’t help, it’s pretty simple.Why are the Leicester and Everton games being ignored? They are up there with the best in the league and Bruno did great againts them. I think the problem is deeper than any particular player.
Couldn't agree more. This Traditional top 6 talk has to stop.I genuinley didnt realise.
This season does affect things, the top 6 is the best top 6 in the league. To the point City have the grand total of 0 wins v the top 6.
Why is Chelsea harder to play against then Everton? Arsenal over Villa?
It makes no sense.
Traditional top 6 is a useless stat to bring up to be honest. Chelsea and Arsenal are not among the best top 6 sides in the league.
What’s funny? I’d give them a 3/4 too. They didn’t do anything also.Amazing! So if you think Bruno is a 3, then surely you must think Salah, Mane and Firmino were all a 2 out of 10? Not a single worthy shot on target between them. Less than what Bruno did.
That’s even more hilarious. You’d give them up to a 4 out of 10 despite all three of them being non existent in the whole game, yet Bruno gets a 3 even though he nearly scored twice with a brilliant free kick and a shot which was a good save by the keeper. Some of you are something else.What’s funny? I’d give them a 3/4 too. They didn’t do anything also.
Only the defenders from both sides can come out of this game with any credit or decent rating.
I think the problem has been our overall performance against the top 6 teams rather than Bruno specifically.4 goals v the top 6 is a great record? Unless im reading it wrong?
That lot are blind. He's no Eric Cantona that's for certain.And people on here were not only comparing him to Cantona, some were saying he's had an even bigger impact
Bruno can't be in any discussion about great United players until he wins major trophies.That lot are blind. He's no Eric Cantona that's for certain.
I used the term target man, may be I should used a different term. Bruno is the playmaker, Lukaku is the #9 striker. Both are likely to be man-marked but the effect should be different, although end-result may be the same. In our case, there are only 2 ways to deliver a ball to our striker target man (whether Lukaku if he stays, or Cavanio, or Martial), either long ball, or go through Bruno. If Bruno is marked well then long pass is the only option, Pogba or Fred, and Lindelof as I recall once might do it. Fullback Shaw and AWB are rare option, although these are our unique problem.could we not have said the same about lukaku? That was everyone’s big complaint about him that he was only bullying the smaller teams and padding his stats
More like until he's a great player.Bruno can't be in any discussion about great United players until he wins major trophies.
Better than that, off the top of my head he has played Spurs, Chelsea, Leicester, City from top 6 last year, 2 goals and 2 assists in 4.Against the ‘top 6’ in the league this season Bruno Fernandes - 6 G/A Kevin De Bruyne - 1 G/A
For the agenda it has to be the "big 6" "traditional 6" because current ability of teams is not important. Fact is when Bruno plays against mid table teams who were decent 5 years ago, he bottles it.Better than that, off the top of my head he has played Spurs, Chelsea, Leicester, City from top 6 last year, 2 goals and 2 assists in 4.
This years top 6 he has goal and assist v Leicester, 2 goals v Everton and a goal v Spurs.
10 games v sides in the top 6 positions, 6 goals and 3 assists so 9 goal involvements in 10 games v sides sitting in top 6 positions since he got here.
We can add a goal on v Villa when they beat City tonight..
The state of some fans on here... I guess some fans use the word bottle freely without any substance.Lingard has scored in a cup final for the club while Bruno has gone missing in 4 semi finals and bottles every big game. So you're right maybe they deserve Lingard
I don't think this means what you think it means.Fred and McTominay are pretty much your average brick and motor midfielders
He bottled City last year by not joining us in tine and bottled the next 3 by scoring in 2 of themThe state of some fans on here... I guess some fans use the word bottle freely without any substance.
Which 4 semi finals has he gone missing in?
Bottling means he has no impact in big games... got an assist against Chelsea, City and scored against Spurs and Sevilla...
I wasn't aware only at the Caf is scoring penalties bottling it... no wonder when teams win CL / WC finals on Penalty shoot outs its called the bottle cup.He bottled City last year by not joining us in tine and bottled the next 3 by scoring in 2 of them
Bottler
... because that doesn’t fit in with the agenda.Why are the Leicester and Everton games being ignored? They are up there with the best in the league and Bruno did great againts them. I think the problem is deeper than any particular player.
What I am more surprised about is since when did set pieces stop becoming important in football games?... because that doesn’t fit in with the agenda.
it’s like some ‘fans’ miss the pre-Bruno days when we were awful.
So true. It’s like it’s a negative.What I am more surprised about is since when did set pieces stop becoming important in football games?
Bottler... Scoring all those pens where bottle is paramount... BottlerSo true. It’s like it’s a negative.
“Oh ffs he’s so good at pens and free kicks, I hate him”
