Yeah he won the nations league with Portugal with Ronaldo and Silva carrying the team (teams Weren't really pumped for the tournament then)
His goals in those games where penalties, West Ham and Leicester are midtable teams only Spurs, Liverpool and city are big teams,city and Spurs goals were penalties, good free kick for the Liverpool goal and I think he scored a good goal (but had a poor performance against them last season over 2 legs) but that's it.
He has 3 goals and 3 assist under ragnick since he stopped taking penalties, majority of his goal contribution came under ole during his Free role days and even till now he still leaves the midfield vulnerable with his overlapping and erratic passes.
He's been a good signing but he's held to a level he doesn't belong to at all, he still has a lot to prove.
You are really sticking your neck out in this thread. Why this frustration with our most productive player?
Bruno has 5 goals and 4 assists in 1218 minutes since RR took over. That's 0,37 npG90 (non penalty goals per 90) and 0,30 A90 (assists per 90)
We can split up his time here in 4 periods:
2020 (19/20+first half of 20/21 season):
26 goals (14 penalties) and 17 assists in 3588 minutes: 0,30 npG90 + 0,43 A90 = 0,73 npG90+A90
From 1/1-21 and the rest of the 20/21 season (His worst period here)
14 goals (7 penalties) and 8 assists in 2828 minutes: 0,22 npG90 + 0,26 A90 = 0,48 npG90+A90
The "bad season"
21/22 season under Ole:
4 goals and 8 assists in 1389 minutes: 0,26 npG90 + 0,52 A90 = 0,78 npG90+A90
21/22 season under RR:
5 goals and 4 assists in 1218 minutes: 0,37 npG90 + 0,30 A90 = 0,67 npG90+A90
This season under all three managers:
9 goals and 13 assists in 2720 minutes: 0,30 npG90 + 0,43 A90 = 0,73 npG90+A90
So he has pretty much produced identical numbers this season to what he did in his first "miracle" year.
He has 4 goals (2pens) and 7 assists for us in 802 minutes in the Champions League. That is 1,01 npG+A/90
What more do you want from your attacking midfielders?
Pogba has 2 goals (Both against Young Boys and 1 were a penalty) and 4 assists in 1445 minutes. 0,31 npG+A/90
Who's been the most important for us of the two in the CL?
Just a quick numbers comparison with KDB for City, who's been by far the best team in England the last 6 and a half seasons, winning 3 PL, 1 FA Cup, 5 League Cups, with him being their best player in that period and playing in a similar role. I'll throw in Bernardo Silva as a bonus for you:
Goals and goalcontribution (Bernardo is a bit behind in this regard):
Bruno for us in all comps: 49 goals (21 penalties) and 38 assists in 9136 minutes - 0,28 npG90 + 0,37 A90 = 0,65 npG+A/90 or 0,86 G+A/90
KDB for City in all comps: 75 goals (6 penalties) and 114 assists in 21910 minutes - 0,28 npG90 + 0,47 A90 = 0,75 npG+A/90 or 0,78 G+A/90
Silva for City in all comps: 45 goals and 47 assists in 16182 minutes - 0,25 npG90 + 0,26 A90 = 0,51 npG+A/90 or 0,51 G+A/90
Pressing and defensive contributions (Bruno a harder worker than KDB and similar to Bernardo):
Bruno: 20,5 pressings per 90 (Pogba does 12,1), 1,22 successful tackles per 90 and 0,80 interceptions per 90.
KDB: 13,8 pressings per 90, 1,09 successful tackles per 90 and 0,78 interceptions per 90.
Silva: 19,3 pressings per 90, 1,07 successful tackles per 90 and 0,90 interceptions per 90.
Possession (KDB is better with the ball in his feet):
Bruno: 0,72 successful dribbles 90 with a successrate of 49%, 2,18 carries into the final 3rd per 90 and 0,48 carries into the oppo-box per 90
KDB: 1,24 successful dribbles 90 with a successrate of 62%, 2,76 carries into the final 3rd per 90 and 0,75 carries into the oppo-box per 90
Silva: 1,64 successful dribbles 90 with a successrate of 64%, 2,91 carries into the final 3rd per 90 and 1,35 carries into the oppo-box per 90
Bruno is a bit more involved in games than KDB though: 74,5 involvements per 90 for Bruno and 62,7 for KDB (66 for Silva)
Passing creativity (Bruno is slightly more verical in his passing and takes slightly more risk: 73,6% completed passes vs. 76,2% for KDB. KDB hits that high xG pass a bit more often):
Bruno: 2,9 key passes per 90 - 5,1 completed passes into the final 3rd - 2,73 completed passes into oppo-box på 90 - 6,3 progressive passes per 90 - 0,36xA90
KDB: 2,6 key passses per 90 - 4,4 completed passes into the final 3rd - 2,52 completed passes into oppo-box på 90 - 5,9 progressive passes per 90 - 0,43xA90
Silva: 1,7 key passses per 90 - 2,8 completed passes into the final 3rd - 1,56 completed passes into oppo-box på 90 - 3,7 progressive passes per 90 - 0,19xA90
This is where Bruno and KDB are so special, while Silva is just good.
Finishing style (very similar):
Bruno: 2,87 shots per 90 - 21,5 yards avg. distance per shot
KDB: 2,90 shots per 90 - 21,4 yards avg. distance per shot
They also both consistantly overperform their npxG and stand out as excellent finishers, while Silva averages around his npxG.
Bernardo is more at the end of crosses and a lot closer to goal when shooting: 1,59 shots per 90 - 13,9 yards avg. distance per shot.
Bruno has scored from 21/23 (91%) penalties for us while KDB has scored from 6/8 (75%) (Silva has never taken a penalty)
Bruno has been nothing but sensational for us since he came here, there is no need to downplay that. He has that x-factor and creativity that is so rear. He plays with more risk than less creative players so he will get a lower completed pass %, but with a high reward. He isn't the best dribbler, but his endproduct, creativity and workrate is up there with the best of the best (His numbers (npG+A/90) with us so far is better than Beckhams, Scholes, Özils, Fabregas, Gerrards and Lampards, even without the penalties)
As for Pogba, he has a superhigh ceiling, but is also extremely inconsistant. You might get the WC version or the version that singlehandedly gives your opponent the win and there's no way of knowing who turns up.
