  • I've been thinking about Bruno. Have a feeling he won't be playing as much next season on. He is actually not press resistant, may end up deeper because of that. He has done well today in general but don't think he is a good 10 in this system. Maybe if we had better wingbacks his creativity would shine more.
     
    We can’t start this poorly and go behind, because we don’t have enough quality to be confident of getting 2-3 goals.
     
    Trying to follow the game by just reading the match day thread is seriously stressful.

    Going by the comments I'm assuming we've been dreadful?
    Been the better side, just can't finish.
    They got a lucky free kick and zirkzee didn't defend his man.
     
    Really frustrating to go a goal down to another cheap set piece goal. Need a big second half
     
    The anti bruno brigade is really vocal today. Hes not playing bad and got denied a goal from a bad position and a ridiculous save by kepa

    Agenda posting bullshit led by cretinous social media influencers, and the fanbase continually falls for it.

    He’s not playing bad ? He’s constantly losing the ball can’t beat a man or a press for that matter. Yeah he’s not playing bad because he’s shooting sure.
     
    Don't rate Zirkzee at all. Bruno gets non stop shit, but if we get a goal it will be from him, not the striker
     
    Feels like it's only a matter of time before we score. Under Amorim, I have so much confidence of us getting back into games.
     
    Better created chance at the end of the half. Still can’t defend set pieces at all, that’s probably not changing until the offseason.
     
    Not fecking good enough. Usual issues.

    Malacia looks so far off it.

    We just don't create anything really?

    Zirkzee has to do more.

    We don't look like we've got the same amount of players on the pitch as our opponents.

    He’s not playing well, either. Zirkzee should’ve been clean in and he massively overhit the pass.
     
    Bournemouth throwing themselves to the ground and the ref buying it every time. I don’t think half the fouls we’ve conceded were actually fouls at all.
     
    As I expected when we bought him. Zirkzee is anti footballer. I have no idea what he is good at. Typical League 2 player.

    Malacia should stay on bench at half time together with Zirkzee.
     
    Infuriating half. Bruno needs to be more clinical; Amad has flickered but not quite ignited yet. Amorim needs to have a word with his set-piece coach
     
    I don't want to see another member here trying to justify or defend Zirkzee over Højlund. feck me what a shit player.

    Yes Højlund isn't the best, but he's way better than that oaf of a player(Zirkzee).
     
    The set piece issue has to stop, it's killing us.
    No way we should be behind in this game.

    But with a weak attack and weak defence, it's not looking golden.
     
    Never understood the Caf pining for Malacia to come back from injury as I've said it a few times, he wasn't United quality before his injury. He's even less United quality after his injury and that's saying something as our squad it midtable standard.
     
    Reminds me of Lukaku, a big man who isn't very good at being a big man. He looks so easily brushed off. At least Lukaku scored now and then though.

    It's a massive disrespect to Lukaku to even mention Zirkzees name in the same sentence. At least Rom scored goals and put himself about (when motivated).

    This dutch lad is allergic to physical contact and seemingly doesn't have a sprint button on his controller.

    fecking state of him
     
    Wasting too many good chances bruno has been unlucky and their goalkeeper has been doing a good job
     
    If we actually went for it for a full half we’ve be so much better than this slow tempo we play. We create nothing until we go behind and then they start to put some energy and effort in.

    We’ll lose this, get it back to 1-1, then push for the winner before leaving the door open at the back!

    The instant go-to of Lukaku for derision really baffles me. Zirkzee will be lucky to go down with half as many goals Lukaku has accumulated in his career

    I am not in this brigad man but I am very frustrated by his end product.
    Of course there will be réactions in the hit of the moment.
     
    Hope we don't give up an early goal 2nd half.

    Every looks like they want to be on holiday instead of playing.
