Talked about this last season in July, - still hold the same opinion.

I have watched Bruno from afar, and recently he is just like another Lampard, Rodriguez - stat merchants - the kind who frustrate strikers!
Having played 10/11 and worn #10 at the junior level, and studied my favourite 10s in Rivaldo, Zidane, Dinho, Ozil.... though not enough to critic but enough to know that players who play 10 like Lampard and Bruno make the strikers' jobs a drag. 10s like Lampard and Bruno are the greedy ones: always competing with strikers for not only goal-scoring opportunities like penalties but also goal scoring positions. A 10/CAM who would rather be ahead of their striker to score than drop off to link up play is a greedy one.
I have seen him intentionally playing the striker wide or short for an expected in-behind or an in-behind for an expected short as he runs forward to expect the ball back for a goal-scoring opportunity. A normal football viewer will miss some of this stuff but when you play the front line you know. Check Martial's body language recently with the recent passes from Bruno or shots.
This greedy breed of 10s play with their heads down, having more shots than even the strikers, looking for penalties and free kicks instead of passes, the showmanship to press - because they want to hog all the limelight. Give me a lazy CAM in Ozil / Zizou / Zico who don't press or trackback. The heaviest presses that Bruno makes are when he loses the ball - just a show! Authentic 10s don't feel overly guilty about losing the ball, worst of all, they can't be running around headless! Zidane in his last world cup was allowed to not press/trackback - his role was to receive the ball and spread it. Bruno has Matic and Pogba in the centre and he goes hiding in the wing and the front line. Recently it is Martial & Rashford coming back to play as #10 to bring the ball forward while he is hiding in the wing or playing on the shoulder.
The #10 role had started to be phased out of modern football because hardly any players were technical enough and selfless enough to play it well. A good 10/CAM in their element would have an open goal and still be willing to square the ball for another player to score. OGS should play 4-3-3 and keep that #10 role as obsolete as modern managers have rendered it.
Lastly, a 10 does not need much pace to perform, they need the ball and a lot of it - a 10 can walk on the pitch the whole game and still perform. Players in EPL use speed and running around to show fans that they care and therefore masking ability on the ball.
