Maybe, he should be smarter and stop crossing the ball aimlessly.

He's crossing it to the best header-er the world has ever seen. I think hes entitled to expect more.

Apparently he was the worst player on the pitch as per some of the responses on here. Created 2 clear cut chances for Rashford and Fred.

Also apparently he aimlessly crosses into the box... I saw some cut backs to the edge that could have led to goals.

Let the agenda run.

 

[kouroux]

Time to bin him,he is useless now

 

[DutchCruijff]

Absolute trash player.

Absolutely trash.

 

[DWelbz19]

At least he had 87% pass accuracy vs Ammonia

 

[Murder on Zidane's Floor]

Very much reverted to the mean, statistics wise. Output drops then he is really a tax on the team. If he gets a goal and assist in a game where he loses the ball twelve times then you put up with it. Now he has stopped producing, we can't afford to have him in the team.

 

[3KDré]

I hope Ten Hag bins him off for someone like szoboszlai

 

[El Jefe]

He's the master of chaos. A terrible link between midefield and attack. He makes the midfield worse and barely adds much to the attack nowadays.

He needs to be binned off if this team is to progress, he's an anchor weighing us down. He's not our worst player but his role in the team is too vital to how we play and he's just not very good to put it simply.

 

[UnitedWA]

Terrible, what's his purpose atm?

 

[DWelbz19]

I’d rather get him out and get a proper central midfielder. Play a midfield 3 with midfielders like most of the modern world. No more pseudo no.10/second strikers please.

 

[BerryBerryShrew]

Love his work rate. Everything else is subpar. Time to push Eriksen into his position and try a Casemiro/McTom double pivot. Or even give Sancho a go in the 10 role. For all the criticism he gets, he at least knows how to take care of the ball in attacking areas.

 

[JeffFromHK]

He is just trash at everything if you don't give him enough space to make those hollywood passes in fast breaks
defending = fouling
0 duel ability
0 creativity against low blocks
shite corners
999 complaints and injured on the floor
so infuriating to watch for fans

 

[Idxomer]

By his standards, he didn't have a particularly bad game but his lack of quality on the ball is just so damaging for the team.

 

[Dec9003]

How does a player go from having incredible stats in terms of goals and assists to having such underwhelming output? I genuinely don’t get what the problem is.

 

[RaulitoElCrack]

People who defend him have let their standards fall very low. Like saying Rashford is as good as Vinicius. Bruno is a squad player at best, can only play in a counter attacking setup, never in a possession outfit.

Ten Hag can only work with what he has currently and not much better options today but this guy will continue to frustrate. Quite baffling how he manages to misaim or overhit 5 yard passes

 

[Vidyoyo]

He's very good at moving around the box and picking up the ball from the midfielders but not at all effective after that.

Strange player really

 

[Djemba-Djemba]

His stats for Utd pre and post re-signing Ronaldo must be fairly stark.

Feels like he's scored about 5 or 6 goals in the last year at most.

 

[The Corinthian]

So erratic. Seems to only want to pass the ball to Ronaldo when he's on the pitch and then loses it when he's off the pitch.

Eriksen as a #10 needs to be what we go for in the next few games. Casemiro and Scotty as the midfield 2.

 

[Jeppers7]

In the last 58 games since the start of last season, he has scored 11 goals….3 in one game. That being said his output had dropped before we signed Ronaldo. From the January of that previous season he scored about 3 non penalty goals. It’s really the lack of penalties that is hurting how he is perceived. He scored so many before Klopp chimed up.

His overall game has been terrible for nearing two full years now.

 

[PlayerOne]

Awful once again, why is he ETH's blind spot? Too many moves break down through him, too erratic at that. You put up with it when he was putting in amazing stats but without he's harmful to the team.

Hey and that was pre Ronaldo wasn't it? Leeds opening game last season.

So since Ronaldo came back he's scored 8 in about 55?

I bet if you look at goals he's scored with Ronaldo on the pitch it's even lower.

 

[Sylar]

Hate when he goes down pretending he's hurt. Annoying esp as we are not winning and need him upright

Ahhh

Yes but as I said his demise started before that. From January of the previous season he scored 3 non penalty goals in 22 games also. So a similar ratio. Trying to blame Ronaldo for Bruno being shite is ridiculous

 

[GMoore23]

He's been dogshit for a long time and is even worse when Ronaldo starts.
He literally appears to worship him and can see nobody else in the final third. It's infuriating and fecking weird.

 

[Djemba-Djemba]

It's not the only reason but it's definitely a factor. Bruno tries to pass to Ronaldo over and over, even when there's much better options on. Anthony is the same too.

Doesn't help that Ronaldo is finished at this level too.

 

[Borys]

We had no option not to play him today, but in the future we should try him as a false 9, or replace him with Eriksen or even Sancho.
We're getting nowhere with Bruno at #10.

 

[mikeyt]

He's a number 10 supposedly and there to create chances and score goals, he's just not up to it and hasn't been in a long time. Take away the penalties he scored when he first signed and he'd be up there withe Fred as huge waste's of money. You put Eriksen in that role and we'd create so much more.

Add to that he's a joke of human being the way he dives to floor and rolls around when there is a fresh breeze in the air.

It pains me every time I see him in the starting 11.

 

[Valencia Shin Crosses]

No he’s never a false 9, he’s a terrible dribbler which is a main key of that position.

 

[Borys]

No he’s never a false 9, he’s a terrible dribbler which is a main key of that position.

I won't argue that, but if the alternative is to keep playing Ronaldo, I do think it's worth experimenting.

 

[Dannn411]

The most pointless player in the eleven is also the player with the armband who somehow cannot be dropped for any reason. He adds nothing to midfield and adds nothing to attack yet he plays in the most critical position in a 4-2-3-1. He gives the ball away at will and does nothing to get it back. I literally do not understand why he has been accorded such a lofty position in the team. This isn't the post-lockdown period anymore.

 

[Idxomer]

No he’s never a false 9, he’s a terrible dribbler which is a main key of that position.

Well, it's a man key for a playmaker but here we are.

 

[phelans shorts]

He lacks a single attribute that’s needed to play as a false 9. Not a single thing to suggest he can play the role.

 

[Poborsky's hair]

His decision making is just terrible.

 

[Borys]

He lacks a single attribute that’s needed to play as a false 9. Not a single thing to suggest he can play the role.

I actually think he's a good finisher and generally plays better in/around the box, plus works hard. Imo worth a try, I really hope we move away from him as link between midfield and attack.

 

[RedDevilCanuck]

Good for at least 2 nice defensive splitters a game. That's it. Literally nothing else.

No dribbling. No hold up. No smart pass to keep possession. No pace. And stop with those corners.

 

[JeffFromHK]

His decision making is just terrible.

his speculating gambling dummies/flicks are the most annoying things

 

[UnofficialDevil]

I wish would sell him in January and build a proper midfield.

 

[phelans shorts]

I actually think he's a good finisher and generally plays better in/around the box, plus works hard. Imo worth a try, I really hope we move away from him as link between midfield and attack.

He runs around like a headless chicken, which is a major negative as a false 9, he’s a shoddy finisher under pressure (which as a centre forward he would be) and would be reliant on players running beyond him, which is his role currently and we have nobody to replace him in that role.

There isn’t a single aspect of his game that suits that role.

 

[GlasgowCeltic]

I actually think he's a good finisher and generally plays better in/around the box, plus works hard. Imo worth a try, I really hope we move away from him as link between midfield and attack.

Bruno as a false 9 would play no differently to Bruno in any other role, I mean apparently he’s not even playing as a ten now he’s in cm, who would know

 

[Based Adnan]

Needlessly overcomplicates things constantly. Has no respect for possession and control and his technique is massively erratic.

I'm leaning towards getting rid if an opportunity presents itself now.
