His worst season probably in his career and still produced those stats.What is the interesting bit?

Were they good chances? We don’t create lots of great chances and Bruno has been shite...so I’m guessing a lot of them aren’t good chances to be fair.His worst season probably in his career and still produced those stats.
No the thing where all his defenders have are stats and he's been performing like shit for a season and a half.The thing where a player's entire career is irrelevant because their most recent season wasn't as good as previous years?
It’s just cool to hate on him now.
He was never perfect and was always mis placing passes. The complaints were much more slimmer because his passes that were good would lead to goals.
Now that doesn’t happen because every single attacker had a shit season except one.
For the first time ever since joining us he is missing penalties because he clearly feels a pressure to perform below an arguably better penalty taker.
Someone will probably now reply about how they always never rated him.
Knew you would be the one who respond mate! I literally guessed it would be you! So happy
CuteKnew you would be the one who respond mate! I literally guessed it would be you! So happy
One of the most toxic fans I’ve ever witnessed! It’s all behind a keyboard so who cares!
ThanksCute
It depends what you think the stats reflect.His worst season probably in his career and still produced those stats.
Or the thing where his detractors are so caught up in the negatives they've become accustomed to look out for that they miss the fact he's actually still providing quite a lot even when plays at a lower level than his peak.No the thing where all his defenders have are stats and he's been performing like shit for a season and a half.
I didn't realise there is different ways of reflecting a goal and assist.It depends what you think the stats reflect.
Why exactly would Bruno's chance creation stats reflect a lower quality of chances than the same stat for other players? Because it would mean you won't have to change your assessment?Were they good chances? We don’t create lots of great chances and Bruno has been shite...so I’m guessing a lot of them aren’t good chances to be fair.
Bruno had an xA of 0.28 per 90 in the league this season. The others on that list had (in order) 0.22, 0.16, 0.34, 0.36, 0.21, 0.30, 0.34, 0.24, 0.13.Were they good chances?

Great.I didn't realise there is different ways of reflecting a goal and assist.
I thought goal is a goal, seems new that we are having to reflect what a goal means.
You don't have to look at his stats. Just look at the games, in an even-handed way.Great.
Bruno‘s xA per match doesn’t reflect his overall performance and his negative effects on our performances. For some bizarre reason, some people only look at his stats and portrait Bruno as a positive in an overall shit season
For a bizarre reason you look at Bruno having a shit season and not realising despite the shit season him and others around him have had, he still scores goals, gets assists and creates chances to score.Great.

He couldn't but we need someone in the same mould with a much better workrate.Someone pointed out and I will agree with that Bruno's drop in form coincided with Martial going off a boil.
Bruno needs someone that can hold up the play, open up spaces and bring other players into it. Martial used to fill that role.
Actually most of our team relies on an individual to do just that. Ronaldo and Rashford need somone to open up spaces for them to run into.
If only Tony could recapture a fraction of his old form.
Harry Kane would be perfect, but very very expensive and very risky.He couldn't but we need someone in the same mould with a much better workrate.
So was Nistelrooy, doesn’t change the fact that the overall impact on the team became negative.For a bizarre reason you look at Bruno having a shit season and not realising despite the shit season him and others around him have had, he still scores goals, gets assists and creates chances to score.
Although he like many other players has had a shit season, he is still productive.
It doesn't have to be Martial but a hold up striker could definitely do a lot. Anyone who can bring others into play really. I think ETH uses one at Ajax. At least when I see Haller he has a lot of back to goal and facilitating duty.Someone pointed out and I will agree with that Bruno's drop in form coincided with Martial going off a boil.

Not sure if people realie that terminate contract is not something you can do unless there is a reason. Unfortunately being bad at football is not a reason.There are some people on here who seem to genuinely think that we should immediately terminate the contracts of every player who has a bad season, and should go out and sign 20+ players this summer since there'll be like three left after the insane mass-exodus that they appear to expect.
It's the FIFA generation for you. Players aren't treated as human being who are having an off season for various reasons, but because they are shit and their stats go down.There are some people on here who seem to genuinely think that we should immediately terminate the contracts of every player who has a bad season, and should go out and sign 20+ players this summer since there'll be like three left after the insane mass-exodus that they appear to expect.
