It's alright, they will just switch off his AI for a bit and replace the part. Good to go tomorrow.Did he do his hammie?
Majestic today...
What a player he's. Our and Portugal's best player...

Amad assisted Mainoo, Bruno didn't touch it. No one got the assist for Amad's goal as Newcastle headed the ball to him.
Pretty sure he flicked the ball for Mainoo's with the outside of his foot.
We'd be lost without him. The only way I'd sell him is if we were to drastically change the tactics and the midfield dynamic, because the way we play is heavily reliant on his individual brilliance. Other teams wear you down through keeping possession and probing, creating overloads and good runs off the ball. I see none of that with us, and think we'd be toothless without his creativity. The stats speak for themselves.
Wasn't it a deflection alltogether?
edit: hmm, probably no deflection but I have a hard time anybody really expecting this ball to reach Mainoo with him being onside.
I just watched it on .25 speed and I'm pretty sure Bruno flicked it with the outside of his right boot.
He is a genuine assist machine.
When you look at it on this speed, you can also see that Mainoo moves behind Bruno and that he can't even be aware where Mainoo would end up. If he had a touch, and that may well be the case, it probably isn't anything planned or intended. More chances that he wanted to play McTominay in who was in his line of sight. Statman Dave gave you so many stats, celebrate them when there is an itch to celebrate, no need to dig into stuff that probably isn't there.
Stateman Dave another Genius who can sometimes make even most inept performance look superlative with his use of stats .
No wonder he is go to guy for Bruno Stans .
Most definitely... Such a weird state of things these days... people recognize that terms like "facts" and "objectiveness" have some inherent meaning, now they go, try to dig for it and try to put the "fachts" sticker to each of their opinions. Suddenly everything is stats and science and even the most broadheaded person feels himself as in the know when he manages to open up the for-free fbref homepage and looks at data where half of it isn't understood. But who cares, its stats
That being said, I'll give Bruno some credit today, he was pretty good today and I thought he took a bit of a beating. Can't follow the big praise from some other as I thought we didn't play well at all and while he certainly had his moments in attack, he made some wonky decisions on the ball, at least two in dangerous areas. But I don't have to understand that, I am sure some fans were really pleased with this result, I personally have no issues with Newcastle but I can understand somebody being happy seeing them lose.
I really wish, I'd know what goes on in ETHs head... If this chaotic thing today is what he wants or if it is more that style we employed against Arsenal.
I’d be tempted to rest him or start him on the bench against Brighton as looks like realistically FA cup is the route to Europa league. Get some minutes for Licha and Bruno against Brighton to get them fit and roaring against city
"Bruno is very good"
"But have you seen these cherry picked and mostly pointless stats?"
"Ok, but have you seen these far better stats?"
"Why are you only focusing on stats? Statman Dave wannabe!"

100% he’s played far to often, he’s going into his 30’s now, time to rest him properly for games
Clearly playing with a completely busted hand, wasn't even using it to push himself of the ground.
90+ minutes, he's still closing like a madman, while Rashford...waits for an opportunity I guess.
He's not perfect but he's our best player.

Fecking brilliant. Should not be sold for at all.
What are you talking about? I'm just pretty sure Bruno flicked the ball around the corner.
He should be in the Untouchable group along with Amad.
I dont even care about stats. If anyone can watch our previous game and then this and not see what Bruno offers, then its probably specsavers they need more than a stats sheet.
He was immense and it was a joy to watch him combine with Amad.
Bruno in a false 9 looked incredible, we was absolutely everywhere pulling all the strings. Fantastic performance.
I think he often gets unfairly paired with Rashford when it comes to criticism of our highest paid players.
I'd love to see us bring in Neves and Silva using Bruno as the key attraction for them to join and build out that Portuguese and world-class youngster contingent.

We're at the point that some people here have to make up reasons to criticise Bruno.
I’ve been in the sell Bruno camp but his form in the last 10 weeks or so has been pretty much back to his first calendar year when he joined.
My only issue is that he turned it on when the season was pretty much a write off so my view hasn’t necessarily changed but I do have more appreciation for him because he gives his best every game.

He clearly reads this forum. Pretty sure the feedback from the staff and teammates are probably positive overall.

Who criticized him?
So Bruno wants a contract extension? I'm happy the club aren't rushing into it, as he'll be pushing 32 when his current deal ends and he's a high energy player, so who knows how his legs will be by then.
my favourite one is "chances created isn't a legitimate stat".Classic Caf
Says He wants to stay at the club and we get this
Someone who is alleging that one of the top creative midfielders in one of the top leagues in the world could not possibly be aware where his teammate was.
I dunno, I think I might have called it earlyClassic Caf

I think that is one of the best performances I’ve seen from him. I really liked how he seemed to direct things. He was speaking to Amad, Amrabat, Garnacho through out the game actually leading them. Mainoo too. First time I’ve seen him act like a proper captain in a very long time. He was magnificent.
I say this as someone that feels like if the opportunity arises we should move him on, but last night, if he could do that week in week out then welcome to the new Red parade Bruno.

For him, the club “wanting him” could be pay him what he believes he deserves.
I don't mind if he stays or goes this summer but I don't think we should be handing him a new long term contract, not now anyway.
I'd be happy with 3 years. He has another strong couple of years left in the tank. No way we should be offering any 29 year old a 5 year contract.
I wouldn't give him a new contract. He's on more than enough money.
He's 29. We give him a new long term contract he will decline playing for us and we will have zero resale value.
I love Bruno but being sentimental means losing money and we have to get much more savvy in the market in general but especially now with our screwed FFP position.

The only defensible rationale for bringing in Mount was to succeed Fernandes.
He was intended to succeed Fred, not Fernandes.
