I don't like that I'm seeing a lot of "he was trying to carry us so he had a poor performance" opinions. Yesterday he had a bad game, full stop. He wasn't getting simple things right (like putting Rashford through with a 5 yard pass) in the first half when we were still playing reasonably well.
Bruno's been our star since he's come here and he's performed incredibly well, and he can afford to have a bad game or 2. But let's not act as if anytime he has a bad game there is an excuse.
I've been chuckling to myself at all these posters tying themselves in knots trying to invent excuses. From his third game or so, even last season, it was observed by myself and a few posters here that he had a tendency to misplace very basic passes.
It has nothing to do with tiredness or carrying the team. He just doesn't have consistently good technique or concentration.
