He's been shocking almost all season. A shadow of the player we saw in his first two seasons. At the very least, we could rely on him to score goals. We can't even do that any more. His finishing has been so poor. The only game I remember him playing very well all season was against Leeds.
 
Like much of the side he’s been dining out on past performances for a long time.
 
If he doesn't buck his ideas up I can't see him lasting long under ten Hag.
 
He desperately needs a coach to clean up his game, and hopefully Ten Hag is the man for the job.

The new contract was silly though. Nobody should've been given a pay rise after this season.
 
Take him out today & replace him with a midfielder that can handle the ball under pressure it’d be worlds apart from what we witnessed today.
There is a bit of an issue with that with our current squad though.
 
- missed a 1v1 sitter
- missed a penalty
- assisted arsenal's goal
- infinite times of rolling on the floor asking for fouls and pointless flicks to oponents

classic 1/10 performance

He always stinks in big games doesn't he?
 
I wonder if it was his decision to take the penalty (as in within the game as captain) or whether it was decided beforehand.
Regardless, it was madness, that Ronaldo is having a fantastic game, has scored already and on the opposite side, Bruno is having a mare.
 
Be ruthless. Sell him now if possible. No chance in hell he will fit in Ten Hags system.
 
@GifLord please, can you make a clip of the instance in the first half, for a corner kick, Telles played it short to him, he overhits but finds a way to berate his teammate anyway.
It's terrible mentality from a captain
 
Wouldn't go so far, they actually like each other very much.

I feel for Bruno, terrible match all the way through. Nothing coming out right from him lately.
I watch almost all of Portugal’s matches, Ronaldo can’t stand Jota one bit for example, and seems to be infuriated by Bruno often.

Fair point. He’s meant to be talismatic yet he can’t even play simple passes though. McTom was pretty much par for the course as was Matic today, if Fernandes is even competent we beat that dross but as was seen on their 3rd goal he’s just nowhere near at it.
 
I put the pen miss aside and the ball lost for their 3rd, even without those huge moments, his performance was still garbage.
He found a way to berate Telles for a cross he fecked up himself.
This guy is a good deflector of blame

He’s been doing it all season, blaming and moaning at others for his own mistakes
 
Oh Bruno. What to do with him? Another big game. Another net negative contribution. It’s unescapable that he looks completely ineffectual against better teams and notable that he so often under deliveries in key moments.




Not sure why anyone would opt for Bruno taking important pens over Ronaldo. Bruno could finish with a better career percentage, but I’d back Ronaldo on key ones every time. Bruno doesn’t have the bottle.

Debatable red card too.
 

I wouldn't give a shit about the stats if he actually played well and linked midfield and attack like a true AM should. Him performing terribly is a much bigger issue than no goal contributions in the last 7.
 
Manchester United decided against
Bruno Fernandes signing after their scouts warned he takes too many risks in possession

ETH isn't turning him around. Petulant, immature and a liability with the ball.
Well what has the manager told him? Has the manager told him to hold on to the ball ?
Bruno will stay and score goals next season

He has been indulged. I remember when Lvg benched Herrera for taking too many risks with the ball. That's what Bruno needed to balance him out.
 


This is what I talk about ‘making us play better’. He’s just not that talented a footballer for me. I couldn’t care less about this stat. Because Odegaard, Mount, Bernardo can post a similar stat and still pick up 3 or 4 MOTM awards. Bruno simply isn’t capable of that.

The tweet would have been better if they added the results of each games too

It did take a good save from De Gea to prevent us conceding from a poor Mctom on the edge of our box.
I do agree that we need to take Bruno out at the moment. When he's playing well he can more than cover for the weaknesses in his game, but at the moment we're getting all the negatives with none of the positives.

This was highlighted by scouts in 2019. Man City passed on him because they considered him not good enough for their team.

He has his moments but in a top tier functional team, he will never be part of first team. He isn’t consistent enough. He is what i would call an ideal stat player and people who just look at stat and not watch football will rave about him. Even when he was scoring penalties his deficiencies were obvious
 
Bad season. It happens when the team is a disaster. Hazard had a woeful season in 15/16 and then came back to be player of the season the following year. We'll see how it pans out, but I'm fairly confident in saying that Ten Hag will use him as a key player and he'll find his form again. Because he actually has shown a long stretch of excellent form and it's not a hypothetical level we are talking about.
 
I cant really defend him anymore. Hope he's the Bruno of old under ETH thats all.
 
He put his ego above the team. Should have given the ball to Ronaldo. Ronaldo was writing the script for this game and he would have went on to win the game with a hattrick if he took the pen.
 
I'll give him a season under hag before I make up my mind on him.
He deserves the benefit of the doubt for being one of our better players these past few years.
