Andreas Pereira?
Andreas Pereira?
I'm certain they are WUMs. Definitely not United fans and highly doubt they've ever set foot in Manchester, let alone Old Trafford.
He is a high risk-high reward kind of player. When it works he can win is matches, when it doesn’t work it cost us loss of possession and counters. But we should remember we haven’t conceded one single counter goal in the PL this season. However his game style could make playing a high line difficult.Bruno has set his own bar so high that when he doesn't impact the game we all think he had a poor game.
As you say he is a high risk high reward player, so he misses many passes and chances until he gets the magical moment that changes the game. When it doesn't happen its disappointing but you just have to look at one of our games where he doesn't play to know how much impact he makes.
We are totally dull and toothless without him.
Usual Bruno. Some sloppy passes, but non-stop movement, effort and intensity - with a couple of huge, decisive moments.
Without Bruno we'd be 8th or something. If we bring in a few of a similar calibre we could be something. If we don't he'll be off in a couple of seasons max.
Poorly taken penalty, but it went in so it’s a goal that counts. 24 goals so far

Looked absolutely gassed at the end, he was blowing just to walk over to the penalty spot. A forgettable performance, which I think reflects he's been massively overplayed and is on his last legs. As soon as top four is mathematically secure Bruno is one of many that should be rested for league games, so we have a good chance at the Europa.
Another god awful performance but dds to his stats.
I am very happy it went inIt almost sounds like you're annoyed it went in.
Im looking at his performances in isolation, as it’s only fair, I’m looking to see how many good-great-poor performances he has over the season. We have players who are blamed regardless of how they play, if I’m honest game to game Bruno has stats and not performances.We have to consider the team's performance. Compared to the team mates, I don't think BF's performance was "awful". BF is not Cristiano Ronaldo or Messi. You rarely see him dribbling or trying 1-on-1s. It's all about clever passes and positioning. So his performance will always be linked to those around him. What good is to make a clever pass, if a team mate doesn't "get it" and goes another way? In the statistics, that's a failed pass, but it wasn't really only his fault. Fortunately, he has that world class touch, that wins matches, even when things aren't going his way.
