Not surprising that he scores a winner after having a poor game. But better than just having a poor game.
Enough of that positivity! Didn't you see him throw his arms in the air at some point in the game?! Absolutely disgusting behaviour and should be stripped of the captaincy and have his goal taken off him.That's why he is on the pitch! That's why he is captain! Mentality Monster! Rare breed! Love to see it!
That’s a massive lie.Brunos goals/assists contribution always gets used to try and show that he's a quality player. 41% of those goals are penalties, and I don't know the percentage but a lot of the assists are from dead balls. His goal contributions look a lot better merely by being a designated set piece taker.
Well it’s a paradox because we won’t be a “good football team” when the chance creation vacuum hoovers up build up for frantic xA playUntil we are a good football team, we need any players who can help put the ball in the net. It doesn’t matter the fashion, or the performance. That is Bruno. As long as we remain a team trying to scrap for a top 4 or 5 finish, we absolutely need him and he will remain one of our most important players. Today showed why, again.
75% pass completion and one key pass. Magnifico! Capitano! Amazingooo!What game were people watching? Was easily our MOTM today, his stats today were his best of the season
He is most games, it’s just this season he’s had no goals and assists to cover up for his generally poor play.Bar the winning goal, he was one of the worst players on the pitch the entire game. Only Antony was worse.
Scott was 10x Bruno today... Or at least a lot better.Bruno gets abused while Scott receives plaudits? What the hell are you guys smoking?
welcome Gomes, good to have you here. This is what happens on this forum, weird things happen.Bruno gets abused while Scott receives plaudits? What the hell are you guys smoking?
Indeed, I agree. Perhaps I should have worded it as ‘until we are ready to become a good football team’.Well it’s a paradox because we won’t be a “good football team” when the chance creation vacuum hoovers up build up for frantic xA play
So he had a good game according to you?Haters gonna hate. Won us the game.
If and when the new manager and the new footballing structure is installed and they don't try to move on Fernandes straight away that would be enough for me to realise we have again messed up and new people don't have the slightest idea what ails this team and how to fix it .Indeed, I agree.

The people that are happy with his performances are the same people that are happy with winning half the matches during a PL season. A team that rely on moments, and barely win in the last minutes of the match. A team that will never fight for anything of importance, which is just a mid-table team, or a top 4 team at most.So he had a good game according to you?
Yeah I will never like this moments Fc style. I long for the SAF days where we actually played some beautiful ball.The people that are happy with his performances are the same people that are happy with winning half the matches during a PL season.

"He had a shit game, but he won us the match, so it's all good" just screams mediocrity. May as well be supporting Brentford or Crystal Palace.
You being serious? He did very little whole game. A few easy enough passes out wide to Garnacho. Not enough linking up play with his team mates. Did he even pass the ball to Hojlund today? He plays like a year 7 star player number 10 who's surrounded by other kids who just picked up the game of football...wait.....What game were people watching? Was easily our MOTM today, his stats today were his best of the season
My mistake, I had counted ones he missed towards his total. it was 33% (before today)That’s a massive lie.
Received the ball well on the turn for a lot of the first half, took up good positions, had one pretty spectacular volleyed switch of play right to garnachos feet. I am not a fan of bruno, but he was a lot better than normal today.You being serious? He did very little whole game. A few easy enough passes out wide to Garnacho.

He plays like Julian Newman.
Yeah, maybe. The thing is if he hadn't fecked up several forward passes throughout the match and actually played like Hojlund exists we might have been ahead by 2 or 3 goals.He was bloody awful. I think he's a massive part of why we look so bad.
Will always win us games now and then though.
This sums it up.Well taken goal but dogshit otherwise.
Moving him on straight away just isn't going to happen. A new RW, RB and CB are far more pressing priorities than a Bruno replacement.If and when the new manager and the new footballing structure is installed and they don't try to move on Fernandes straight away that would be enough for me to realise we have again messed up and new people don't have the slightest idea what ails this team and how to fix it .
He would be almost 30 by the start of next season might be our last chance to get some decent fee for him and he is major part why this team can not move towards more measured and possession based approach as he is pretty limited footballer if you look beyond his Goals and Assists .Moving him on straight away just isn't going to happen. A new RW, RB and CB are far more pressing priorities than a Bruno replacement.
