When has Bruno had a game like yesterday and then had multiple posters in here rave about how he was excellent (which would be the opposite of shit)? I really doubt that this has ever happened.
The only (I think) shot on target that we score from came from a Bruno through ball. I don't remember if it was Martial or Rashford who missed the chance. Sharp angle, but very score-able from that distance.
We only had one shot on target but we scored a goal?
My bad: the only shot on target that we didn't score from. We had two shots on target all game.

"Ball progression: pass + carry". I've never seen that one before, but it seems like we should play Onana in midfield next time.
No idea what this post is even referring to?
When did I say that he played well? I have used words like "average", "mediocre" and "OK". Although if you have a binary way of thinking I guess these can be translated to "well".
Bad in my opinion. Didn't pass forward often, didn't take responsibility in midfield to progress the ball.
That isn't what I mean. I mean that when he has a good game (not very good, a good game is usually is enough), he is getting praise and as soon as others emphasize some of his faults, they are getting shouted out with chance creation stats. To a degree, that makes sense but just as you are pointing out the levels of criticism now, it is the same with a lot of the praise as well.
Just to make sure, don't know (and feeling wise, don't think) if Arsenal really man-marked him but this isn't the only option to isolate or frustrate a player. It often will also not work but when we know, that he is more or less our only creative spark, opponents will know as well. And they will prepare for it, they have to.
Here’s your first post from yesterday’s game. Can you explain why you think our captain deserves some credit in a 3-1 defeat to Arsenal, was quite good in your words also, then on the other hand you say he was mediocre.
People subscribe to different ideas. Once you reach the opponent's half, I tend to reward creativity. Whether it's from dribbling, key passes, assists or goals, I don't really care as long as you are a creative force.
Are you trolling?
I noticed Rice paying close attention to him and whenever there was any kind of duel Rice came out pretty easily as the winner.
So when the captain of Manchester United has a mediocre game the first thing you think is that he deserves credit? No mention in the initial post about him being average overall, and that is being very generous…he was awful.
Balance is good. Judging by the posts you'd think he had a nightmarish day at the office.
Again you are lying! Surely there should be a rule against this? Literal quote so that you can't lie again:
Unless you fail to understand me again: all 3 were bad (read: "midfield disaster"). Bruno is included in that. I still think that Casemiro and Mount were worse, but being better than shit is hardly a glowing review in my book.
You are the right person to talk... You have spent the last couple of years hounding one of the few good players we have. I have never seen a more deluded poster in my life.
You're spot on in everything you've said. Bruno's inability to retain, be calm with and carry the ball is limiting us severely. He treats the ball like a hot potato, tries to get rid of it as soon as possible - that's just who he is. Bruno needs really space, and is suited for counterattacking football where his Hollywood passes and long passing talent can come to fruition. He brings too much chaos in order for his creativity to be worth it, in my opinion. It puts a ceiling on the team that is not particularly high.
Yes? His passing created some chances that game? But he made a little too many mistakes and was bypassed too often. Thus I didn't call his overall performance good. Because it wasn't. But Mount and Casemiro were worse.
Absolute state of the mods on this site. They block threads because they like players and block posters who like players they don’t.
I didn't realise that I had to give a full performance review every time. Especially when the post you quoted isn't even in the player performance forum!
If true should be the next step in the evolution of individual performances. Forgetting being the one to get the assist if I was in the general vicinity of a maybe assist then I've earned my cheque.
He was man marked by Rice the entire game, similarly how Eriksen was marking Odegaard for most of the game.
Even in yesterday’s football it was an issue. No top team operates well with a midfield that has a high propensity to hand the ball back to the opposition and allow them back into the game.
Agree with this.
Ramsdale isn’t the “best” or even near the best for Arsenal.
Arsenal made no attempt to progress the ball through the middle. They went wide first by design, Im not convinced its working for them vs last season
Why is that interesting? Cassidy already pointed it out, but seems you're having issues analysing aspects of the game in its simplest form.
Get rid?
