Like night follows day, soon someone will be along to tell you that stats lie and we'll be much better without Bruno.
Should have 2 assists already
He's definitely in the conversation for player of the tournament. Think Mbappe would be the only player ahead of him so far.
It's sad that Portuguese might be getting carried away by his numbers. They'll soon find out that you'll never win anything with him in the team.
He’s just a stat padding merchant. He’s shit other than getting lots of goals and assists. He’s shit even though his club and national team play shit when he doesn’t play. Terrible player. Bring back Pogba.Like night follows day, soon someone will be along to tell you that stats lie and we'll be much better without Bruno.
Anyone seen @Jeppers7 ?
No doubt sitting on the sidelines waiting for Bruno to have an off game so he can tell us how bad he is.

He’s the second best player in the world on transitions.
Would be fun to watch him play with a proper striker after the WC.
Stat padding again.
He's busy claiming Ronaldo gave us more big moments than Rooney and Cantona.Anyone seen @Jeppers7 ?

Bring Ramos and watch him stat pad like crazy for us 
Before QF it’s between him and Mbappe for the player of the tournament. Portugal looks nailed to get to the semis and then will play another game anyway. Bruno could well win it, what a man
He'll look much better for us when we sort out a proper no.9.
Appreciate it’s a team game but I didn’t like him pushed on the right, would have liked to see him more central.
So his value will never be higher than after this WC. Do those who wanted him out think we should sell him now? @Rozay
Its so hard to tell what's parody anymore
He plays much more mature football this WC that suits him much better instead of trying killer balls at every opportunity.
He hasn't played well since his first purple patch, so it's hardly an untimely comment.
I initially got angry then realised it was a joke but now you’ve really got me fecking stumped
He obviously has though.
Had the most pressing as well, followed by Bernardo Silva.
This man gets so much disrespect over here. He is one of the best players in the world. His work rate is amazing. A player to build a squad around.
3 assists and 2 goals in 3 games.
He's been brilliant.

He’s been playing better than he has for quite some time over the past month, but if we could get Bellingham in I’d sell him without hesitation. I still want us to play with 3 CMs personally, so I’d sacrifice less goal contributions for a better midfielder than him should the opportunity present.
I think he’s also potentially a factor in whatever striker we may look to next. A player like Kane or Felix don’t work best with a 10 in my opinion. Credit to him, he’s played a lot better of late, although I do think his WC form has been overhyped. I appreciate he’s had goal involvements, but they have been a little fortunate and aside from that, his best work has come off the ball for me. Seeing as you asked me, of course.
But credit to him, Bruno playing like this would certainly, at the very least, not be called a hindrance by me - but I do think we could do better both individually and for the benefit of the unit. And besides, He’s played almost every game for 3 years - I’d like to think I had not been waiting for the World Cup to form an opinion of the player.
Sorry Im still in the doom merchant side of the argument. How many times did the commentators side say "thats so unlike Bruno Fernandes" in the game, do they actually see him play for us?
He works his socks off, he can produce great moments and I know the argument will be "it is because he is trying to make something happen so trying harder passes" etc etc and someone will come up with some bloody stat....but the amount of times he give the ball away is far far too high.
He is having a good torunament despite this but player of the tournament behind Mbappe, what am I missing?
Bellingham, Rashford, Saka, Richarlison, Casemeiro, Viniscus, Giroud, Messi, Gapko....is he really having a better tournament than all of these players?
Casemeiro has stood out for me personalyl alongside Mbappe, jstu as pivotal as Neymar and he has been fantasti going forward as well as defensively.
Saying that, I am still sticking with my original tip of Portugal to win the whole thing, so who knows he still has time to be

You're joking, you have Bellingham in front of him?
This is a bit misleading as most of Portugal's best chances in all of their matches have been created by Bruno.
I hope that is a joke
I actually think he works well with a player that can drop deeper to allow him to run in behind.
But yes I overall agree. He’s looked very good for Portugal, but no one has every doubted his ability when he has a bunch of time and space on the ball. I want to see him dominate a real pressing side
He's lucky that JT slipped on that night. If he didnt then his god will be remembered here for his penalty feck up that cost us the CL. Surely a big moment
For the couple of CL campaigns we had with him, his numbers there were ridiculous as well. He really seems like a consistent, big game player.
Nah, take a visit to Ronaldo comprehensive thread. Incredible stuff being written there.I hope that is a joke

Rashford has been influential for 1 the game he has started and can't be in the conversation for best player in the tournament so far. Bellingham and the England midfield were made to look ordinary by the USA trio. Bruno has had a good to great game in every game he has played so far both the eye test and the stats say so. He is up there with Messi, Mbappe and Casemiro.
I bet Portugal fans desperately wish he played more like the Spanish midfielders. 95% pass completion it what the game is all about
I can't believe that anyone is suggesting that Rashford has had a better tournament than Bruno. Rashford has been largely poor outside of his goals. Bruno has been good every single game he has played and he has scored and assisted 5 total.
Kane has been better than Rashford for England despite only scoring one goal. Bellingham has been decent until the last game where he was sensational. Saka has been alright, nothing more.

Casemiro and Messi - debatable. The others, definitely.
Sexy Bruno
Jeez he's still not getting credit from the doom mongers.
