HELLO
Had to laugh when we had the short period of control in the second half, promptly ended by Bruno punting it over the bar from 35 yards on his bad foot.

I know that we wouldn't miss him against Liverpool and we didn't.

He's our best player and that's why it sucks he's useless when it matters the most.

Let me guess, he created another ten chances today statistically?

Abysmal as per. Favourite part was when he decided to stay on the floor and ruin our attack because the ref didn’t give him a free kick…as per.

Odd isn't it. He's the absolute worst player to have when you're up against it, but he's also by far our most creative and influential player in attack.

And that's not even mentioning his pressing, tackles, interceptions, workrate and fitness!

Why don’t you make yet another Bruno thread…that doesn’t have Bruno in the title?

The best Portuguese player with the initials BF in Uniteds history?

He was 'ok' but the team needed more than that.

He is definitely not a leader though and his temperament is a problem.

He had a 5 minutes spell in the second half where he was pulling the strings. We were on top - he pulled a great outside of the foot ball to Garnacho, then shortly after found Shaw in the box with a good incisive through ball.

Ended that 5 minute spell with a left footer from 35 yards hitting row z.... He's no captain material, he's not a leader. His whiny mentality and staying on the ground after every tackle is simply pathetic and shows how gutless he is

Id cash out on him,Casemiro and Varane if the Saudis want them. He is nearly 30. We aren't going anywhere in the short term. We arent even making Europa conference next season. So its time to have another rebuild. What else can we do?

He wasn't great, but he's still the only player midfielder/attacker who looks like an actual footballer out there. Mainoo has potential too obviously.

If I had infinite money I'd sell every single midfielder and attacker apart from Bruno, Mainoo, Garnacho and Amad. The last three because they have potential.

The team is playing atrociously. So slow, so empty of ideas. Yet, people still choose to complain about Bruno. Now they can't complain about him failing passes, so it's something else. Even the fans are running out of ideas about what to complain about and whom.

Bruno should be one of the first to go with every other senior player. Keep the youth and get rid of everyone else

Agree to disagree. Bruno, Shaw and Martinez are the only senior players I'm happy with.

He has been dreadful in pretty much every game all season apart from 2 or 3.

If we play 2-3 quick short passes, he gets this Brunowie urge to just play a random hollywood pass

A great number 10 sacrificed at the altar of McTominay.
Wasn't exactly pulling up any trees when played as a 10 last season and the start of this season, with Mount slightly deeper.

McTominay's goals in a team that struggle to score have been valuable and that's why he's in. It's a shame our forwards can't do the same.

Bruno would get crucified in here if he did that and we lost or drew the game. People would say shit like "he got that assist to pad his stats but he was ATROCIOUS besides that moment of brilliance".

Yep. Pointed this out 2 years ago and was met with pitchforks. He’s incredibly flawed and basically our version of Coutinho at Liverpool: can be a genius for the team but you aren’t actually challenging/winning anything against top teams when he’s who you build the side around.

I thought he had an okay game but it's a constant reminder these days that we cannot rely on him to create everything for us. It's the likes of Antony and Rashford who need piling on for their shiteness instead of Bruno in my opinion.

Him and Shaw are the only players who want to get the ball in the box.

Prime candidate to sell to Saudi Arabia in the summer. Midfield needs to be completely rebuilt. I’m bored senseless watching him and Mctominay in midfield.

Proper 4231 with Bruno at 10 with two of Casemiro, Mainoo and Amrabat behind and all of our midfielders will look better.
This is how I would want us to line up too.

But it doesn't solve our attacker problem. Apart from a few good moments from Garnacho and some decent games from Højlund in Europe, all of our attackers have been trash. They have been relegation level.
