Whilst I largely agree with your point, Bruno's defensive responsibilities currently hamper our creative threat! Pretty sure he's bailed us out at least twice in the past few weeks when the rest of the midfield and defence have gone MIA.For us, having a single DM type figure will always be a struggle if we're also going to play Bruno & Pogba ahead, along with Rashford & Sancho/Greenwood out wide and Ronaldo sitting in the box up front. There's no balance whatsoever in that kind of formation. A front five, all of whom are prone to risky passes/dribbles, none of whom are that great at defensive actions and a single DM in front of the back four?
He, along with Cavani are also the only one's who can/will press from the front. The amount or times I see Bruno do this, get beaten and then throw his arms up as if to say "why is no one else pressing?!" is incredible.
He must surely being going against instructions to do so, but I can't blame the guy.
The best way to protect our shaky midfield/defence is to stop the ball entering our final third in the first place.
