Bruno the gr8

[Desert Eagle]

“I think most of the top teams in Europe and also in England play in a 4-3-3,” Rangnick outlined in his post-match press conference.

“I think for him, it’s better than being pinned to a no.10 position because he can then make himself available in different areas of the pitch, not only in the centre."

“For me, he’s not a wing player, but I think in this position, he can find the spaces himself, he can sniff the moments in which areas we have to play the ball for him, and this position as an 8 is almost perfect for him.”

Something fans have been suggesting for a while. Hopefully this will lead to a more balanced Bruno and United.

Rangnick getting a tune out of Bruno resulting in better performances shocker

 

[Moby]

Isn't text speech not allowed in here?

 

[Isotope]

Bruno is good enough to build the team around. Just need better supporting casts.

 

[EtH]

Not convinced. Bruno plays such a risky game he will inevitably struggle as much as he excels playing deeper. It will hinder our play overall.

Eriksen for the number 18?

 

[DWelbz19]

Him (and Mata for that matter) having number 8 when neither of them can actually play there is a “small things about football that annoy you”

Unless he starts playing there now. Like a new signing!

 

[Poborsky's hair]

Now he doesn't want to be the new Scholes but new Mata? (let's hope for at least prime Mata )

New primal Rooney

Eriksen for the number 18?

#7 for him

 

[DJ_21]

#7 for him

Think the #7 will be for Antony to be honest.

No chance, Sancho will take it

Maybe… time will tell

Behave!

I've heard the 8 is actually a reference to ouroboros, which in footballing parlance is the continual loop of him sending deep lying pass after deep lying pass to opposition defenders' feet.

 

[TheReligion]

Hang on, what number was he before?

18

 

[Vidyoyo]

18

Thanks. I realised immediately after I posted so went for a more sarcy reply

It seems like Bruno and Fred are a few that are good with anyone in the squad.

Mata must be one of the most likeable player in the football.

 

[Mercurial]

8 )

 

[TheReligion]

Mata must be one of the most likeable player in the football.

Just behind Ronaldo for sure

 

[Isotope]

Yeah. I deleted Mata's name because he's been so off the team, I don't know if others are still in sync with him.

 

[Mercurial]

Mata Villa Silva used to be shame we got the tired version.

 

[Isotope]

Just behind Ronaldo for sure

It's up for debate, but won't be fuss either way.

[Zippycup]

Just behind Ronaldo for sure

Nice day for a spot of fishing

"Here we have Matej, the big man of the goal... Here we have Luke Shaw..."
Surely, "the big man of the left back?

Martial looks thrilled to be back.

Gotta say the squad seem to be in good spirits.

Hopefully ETH sees sense and makes Bruno captain if Ronadlo heads off. If we can get Bruno back to top level we make top 4.
