This is exactly what’s going to happen.He'll score on Thursday and this thread will be flooded with "Where are his critics now?".
We would be much better off with a balanced 3 man midfield. Especially in these tough matches.
I said the exact same thing last year and got blasted for being negative about our “best player”I know most people consider this blasphemy but for any team with aspirations to compete for titles, he's a poor footballer. He just lacks most qualities you could find in great playmakers.
Ederson is a better footballer than he is.
He was shit even back then the only thing that kept him in conversations was the stats. He was making silly mistakes like he does now, like playing simple passes, over hitting long passes - trying to play multiple through passes with 1/10 being the perfect one...I would need to see KDB perform for us, before jumping to conclusions.
I would agree with this. Not gonna achieve anything impressive with him being enabled to do whatever the feck he wants wherever and wheneverI know most people consider this blasphemy but for any team with aspirations to compete for titles, he's a poor footballer.

Nah, he just needs to be dropped sometimes.I keep saying it, he needs to go.
We as fans can't but the manager could drop them, especially in games where we desperately need players who could hold the ball.I don't want to criticize him in this type of context anymore. Bruno is a subpar possession player, the same is true for Rashford and McTominay. They will always struggle in that context and there is probably nothing we can do about it.
By that I meant that it's likely pointless to expect decent possession Football out of them. Of course the manager can drop them, in fact I would be surprised if they all leave the club in the near future. And it's not because they are bad players but what is their role in a team that expects to dominate possession effectively and impose its will on strong teams?We as fans can't but the manager could drop them, especially in games where we desperately need players who could hold the ball.
I was just thinking this myself, Casemiro needs to start from here on out, with probably Fred beside him and Eriksen in front of Bruno is going to continue to plate suicide football.Eriksen should be given his role in the next game with Fred ans casimero behind. Bruno just can't give consistent performances
The hope was (or is) that ten Hag would be the one to remedy this — i.e. feck them off and implement players to fit a possession based system so that we don’t look like a deer in headlights anytime we come across a tier 1 European side.I don't want to criticize him in this type of context anymore. Bruno is a subpar possession player, the same is true for Rashford and McTominay. They will always struggle in that context and there is probably nothing we can do about it.
dropped?? ETH doesn't have the balls to sub him let alone drop him. I think we would be so much better without him. Like that spell under Ole when he was injured. Wasn't missed.Needs to learn?
He's 28 years old now, he should have learnt long ago.
This is who he is.
Poor performance, HAS to be dropped.

To be fair we were linked with him all summer, but our scouts decided against signing him because they said he kept on losing possession easily.Weird how there were reports when we bought him that City and Barca turned their noses up at him because of how often he loses the ball. We didn’t mind that. He is the absolute epitome of our non-existent scouting, knee-jerk signing strategy. We bought him as we were absolutely desperate for a lift to make top 4.
He brought us that and that is the sole reason for any of our signings. Someone who can provide enough output short term to help make the top 4. As I said, it can work and it did with him but after a while he gets completely exposed as no where near competent enough in possession for a top team. It’s criminal how often he loses the ball.
We have had no strategy or interest in building a title winning team.
Love him, he’s my favourite player but that was fecking shit from him today.
What’s so funny about Bruno being my favourite Utd player?
He's rubbish!What’s so funny about Bruno being my favourite Utd player?
He’s clearly not rubbish!He's rubbish!
Eriksen with 83% passing rate to Bruno at 79% that taking much bigger risks?Eriksen should be given his role in the next game with Fred ans casimero behind. Bruno just can't give consistent performances
Our scouts recommended against signing him. This was widely reported and it's why we didn't sign him initiallyWeird how there were reports when we bought him that City and Barca turned their noses up at him because of how often he loses the ball.
