Majestic performance and pass of the season.
It’s one of those rare passes nobody actually sees until it happens. I thought okay Bruno is in decent position to take a touch and shoot and he does that.Great great game. Unreal assist
People wanting him sold and calling him "a problem" is my biggest wtf moment of the season.
Our no1 player in every aspect.
Pretty sure it happend twice or thrice. But it wasn't an issue because we were so compact and he mostly had players behind him. Him chasing was never a problem per se, the negative effects only happened when he did it without synchronisation.Big game performance, kept his cool a lot better this game I thought. Don’t think I once saw him chase and get caught out by someone passing round him.
If he had shot it, I wouldn't have blamed. There was some genius behind that pass.It’s one of those rare passes nobody actually sees until it happens. I thought okay Bruno is in decent position to take a touch and shoot and he does that.
Before this game, it was Antony vs Chelsea for me but the context of this one is too muchMajestic performance and pass of the season.
Top performance and I'm not surprised after that 'Dear United' letter from yesterday. Also it wasn't about the assist or creating chances for me as much as him being really good in possession with good simple passes, especially in first half when we played really well.
Thats it, I am out of the rating stuff next season I honestly have no clue what game I saw. His assist was really good. And he was positionally pretty disciplined. But we had almost none of the ball, what are you basing this "all time performance" on?! Genuine question at this pointAn all time performance from him today. His best ever. I gave him a 10. Sensational all game.
I think that’s the best I’ve ever seen Bruno play in a Utd shirt! In a final, against the best team in the world, on and off the ball!Thats it, I am out of the rating stuff next season I honestly have no clue what game I saw. His assist was really good.

Do you think you would say the same if we would have lost 0:1? Not that I think it is wrong that result and occasion change performance perception, but a 10 rating? Majestic performance? Genius? Thats a lot of praise.I think that’s the best I’ve ever seen Bruno play in a Utd shirt! In a final, against the best team in the world, on and off the ball!

And most ball losses according to sofascore So I guess we can all feel good and enjoy the occasion each with our own confirmation biasTo be fair he had a great assist, most key passes, most chances created, most successful dribbles and most tackles. Not just for us but in the game.
You were giving out a few weeks back about people giving him 8s and 9s when he either scored twice and assisted once or vice versa. The guy has been up and down this season but the last couple of months he's barely dropped below an 8. If he'd played like he has over the last couple of months for the entire season we'd probably have top 4, he's world class when he's on form.Do you think you would say the same if we would have lost 0:1?

I like Bruno, but he certainly was a problem in the first half of the season, like Rashford has been this season. Some absolute disgraceful performances and it looked like he had lost it. A few of my mates who absolutely adore him said it was about time he needs to be benched.
He is also not our best player in every aspect. We have Mainoo, Garnacho, Dalot, Martinez and Shaw who are way better in a lot of aspects. Creatively, though, he is by far our best.
These last few months he has been incredible, and we really needed him to be or we would have an even worse end to the season.
I didn't understand 8 and 9s back then and I certainly don't understand a 10. Yet my season average rating for him is mostly in line with the redcafe average. Which indicates to me that maybe I am just more moderate in both handing out praise and blame.You were giving out a few weeks back about people giving him 8s and 9s when he either scored twice and assisted once or vice versa.

Response wasn't meant as a dig. But when you picked some stats I thought I could pick at least one as well. I like the bolded part, I agree. We should keep it in mind when some on here try to criticize KDB for todays match.Such a poor response to the 5 or so stats he topped the match in.
That's always going to be the case against City when he is our main creative force. He has to try a lot of things in matches like that. If they all came off he would need to be Zidane on steroids.
Let's hope that Mount can be fitBruno with a midweek rest is different gravy
Gutted we ended up getting into the shitty Europa again, another 50 game season for him incoming

Apologies then why do you think it was bad though?I didn't think it was a dig, I thought it was a bad response.
De Bruyne is brilliant, even more brilliant than Bruno.

Today was a world class performance, I agree it wasn't a 10 because really, they only come along every few years, it was easily an 8.5 - 9 though. Great leadership, excellent decision making, technical excellence, great vision which led to a sublime assist and incredible work rate, sure he lost the ball a few times and took a silly shot near the end but we clearly weren't playing to dominate possession.I didn't understand 8 and 9s back then and I certainly don't understand a 10.

edit: the criticism for KDB goes on. Maybe you enter your context reminder there too
Got it.Because the stat you chose to share isn't really any indication of a bad performance given his role in the team.
With that in mind I don't think that 1 stat against the 5 or so I mentioned is particularly relevant.
Ok, seeing many agree with your perception, I guess I have to accept having a minority opinion. Not the first time, surely not the last. Again, I can't really understand because I thought we didn't have enough of the ball to be able to achieve something like an 8 or a 9 but obviously, ratings are subjective.

He played his part extremely well, when you're not playing for possession, you have to look at other factors such as tackles, distance covered, decision making. He was excellent at everything he was asked to do today, it's unfair not to respect that just because we were playing against a much stronger opponent.Ok, seeing many agree with your perception, I guess I have to accept having a minority opinion.
