Except for Rashford is beyond useless in that role (well he's beyond useless in pretty much any role these days.)Why couldn't Bruno play in a wide playmaker role like Hakim Ziyech? This would at least let us move Rashford to a striker role until Martial is back and add another ball player midfielder to the midfielder.

Ronaldo isn't mobile enough, so he stands on a CB and gets played around. At least Rashford would let the front 3 press collectively similar to what we saw in pre-season. Let's face it, I don't think it can get much worse.Except for Rashford is beyond useless in that role (well he's beyond useless in pretty much any role these days.)
He's never had that time on the ball that great players do. Always been a 100 miles an hour player. Difference being in the first 10 months everything came off.His drop in form is just baffling to me. He seems so angry and everything he does is with such unnecessary force.
Absolutely. He doesn't link up well because his short link up passing, dribbling etc is all bang average. He's the guy who when in form for a mediocre team gets end product and is hailed as a hero. But I'm not sure he works as part of a refined team or even contributes to a team becoming one.In my opinion Bruno is the most overrated Unted player in recent times.
There is a reason the big clubs didnt go after him, it is because he cant play a systematic football, he relies on moments, on individualism.
ETH will have to make a big decision about him and quickly.
Skying that good chance set up by Sancho at 0-0 for startersWhy exactly are we blaming him?, if you've ever played this football game you'll know the defense gives the fowards players confidence to go and do their thing, how on earth do you go into a game and 18mins later you're two or more goals behind? this would only sucks the life out of whatever confidence the foward players had. At this Moment our main problem in our Defensive coordination, that needs fixing first.
I don't understand the idea that goes "he's a counter attacking player" a lot of teams have those playing for them but are coached into knowing when to bring those attributes to the game, what we are seeing is a team that isn't well balanced in different areas with less qualities and that is costing us more than we think Bruno is.
He's been longer in this form than the form he showed when he joined us. Needs dropping, but then so do about 7 or 8 others.His drop in form is just baffling to me. He seems so angry and everything he does is with such unnecessary force.
i don't know - maybe because he's been awful for the last 12 months and is getting worse?Why exactly are we blaming him?, if you've ever played this football game you'll know the defense gives the fowards players confidence to go and do their thing, how on earth do you go into a game and 18mins later you're two or more goals behind? this would only sucks the life out of whatever confidence the foward players had.

Absolutely. The problem is we do not have a decent CDM, only McTominay and Fred could cover that to a certain extent, but both a pretty average footballers and ten Hag wants to get a bit more control of the ball. I am not sure if playing Eriksen deeper was an idea when bringing him in or is now some kind of panic reaction.You should drop him and play Eriksen in his role. Seeing ETH play Eriksen as a DM when he has never played that position in his entire career is a worry for me. He is prioritising Bruno over Eriksen and that's a mistake in my opinion.
missed a very similar chance against Brighton as well.Skying that good chance set up by Sancho at 0-0 for starters
Put simply, because he cannot play that role. Fernandes is one of the least tactically flexible players in this side. He’s a number 10/second striker and that position alone.Why couldn't Bruno play in a wide playmaker role like Hakim Ziyech? This would at least let us move Rashford to a striker role until Martial is back and add another ball player midfielder to the midfielder.
Because he's a shit dribbler and has zero strength to hold off any fullback, and Ziyech himself failed to do that role at a good level in the PLWhy couldn't Bruno play in a wide playmaker role like Hakim Ziyech? This would at least let us move Rashford to a striker role until Martial is back and add another ball player midfielder to the midfielder.

I would assume it was a panic reaction. He must know that nobody at the club can play the role. He played Fred there last week and it was a disaster. He moved Eriksen there in the 2nd half, and he played well. It did help that Brighton played far more conservatively in the 2nd half. That helped us to look better. Seeing Eriksen look good there gave ETH the confidence to start him there against Brentford. Then Eriksen had a disaster.Absolutely. The problem is we do not have a decent CDM, only McTominay and Fred could cover that to a certain extent, but both a pretty average footballers and ten Hag wants to get a bit more control of the ball. I am not sure if playing Eriksen deeper was an idea when bringing him in or is now some kind of panic reaction.
He doesn't dribble. He has the tendency to stop the ball, then pick option instead of "working" the pitch, continue to dribbling, keep the ball moving, then pass even simple pass. This habit involves players like Rashford, Fred, McTominay, Shaw, Maguire too.Why couldn't Bruno play in a wide playmaker role like Hakim Ziyech? This would at least let us move Rashford to a striker role until Martial is back and add another ball player midfielder to the midfielder.

piss poor excuse. If you know the defense is struggling, go make something happen offensively. That’s what you’re paid to do.Why exactly are we blaming him?, if you've ever played this football game you'll know the defense gives the fowards players confidence to go and do their thing
He couldn't even string two passes together, wasn't bothered to run or to look up and explore other passing options.Anonymous yesterday
He may be overrated, may be wasteful in possession But Bruno always offered work rate and effort.....even that's gone now.
It's not baffling at all. Many people on here had picked up on his flaws early on his Utd career and knew it was a matter of time before he dropped off massively. It's just that the others had fingers in their ears and enamored by his "passion" and "will to win" and those exaggerated numbers he had in his first year.His drop in form is just baffling to me. He seems so angry and everything he does is with such unnecessary force.
Did you even watch that game? how do you expect that to happen when the ball hasn't even left the feet of the defenders? Yes his shooting has been wayward and I'll say he's not been at his best but when a team is struggling lije we are, we need the defense to stop shifting in daft goals like we are seeing every week but no let's blame it on Bruno because Pogba is gone!piss poor excuse. If you know the defense is struggling, go make something happen offensively. That’s what you’re paid to do.
A solid defense helps obviously, but you’re effectively giving everyone up top a free pass just because the defense isn’t solid.
It is the whole teams duty to defend and attack. We might have looked like an Adam Sandler movie at the back but some of that is also due to the forwards and midfielders not tracking back and not giving passing options and instead standing still.Did you even watch that game? how do you expect that to happen when the ball hasn't even left the feet of the defenders?
