This exactly. I'm not surprised he played poorly, he's been playing poorly for a few weeks now. But the quitting attitude, especially as captain of the fecking side, it's embarrassing and honestly he should never wear that armband again. He's never shown a real leadership anyways compared to some of our other players, and his diving and rattiness isn't acceptable for a captain on the pitch. Give it to one of the CB's or Casemiro. And fecking leave this guy out of the squad at midweek as well as a wake up call

If he's not being played at number 10 then he shouldn't be in the team. He's not a winger. ETH has to get get over this Weghorst thing and admit failure. The team is worse for him being here.
The first goal came about due to Allison finding Robertson and then the mistakes happened.
Very unprofessional player when things are going wrong
He just runs around like a headless chicken and does not stay in his position or follow instructions

The thing is, he wasn't even running. Even more embarassing.
He's done this since he's come here. Ultra rogue player that people loved because he'd pop up with goals/assists but playing that undisciplined constantly is often more a negative than a positive, no matter how much you run around.
He isn’t fit to be captain, much like the geezer he’s filling in for. It’s not even about his chaotic performances it’s his behaviour. He’s actually really fecking annoying with his hysterics. Just stop acting like a fecking tart for one game.
Just grow up and get on with it…

If he really did ask to come off at the end as Neville claims, there has to be some form of push back on that from ten Hag. It's one thing to play an awful game but it's another to completely throw the towel in. Even worse if it's coming from the captain.
Agreed. The way he gave up 2nd half was shocking.
I was originally surprised ETH took to him. But now I fear for his future here.
Why didn't they ask ETH about this at the post match press. They should have.
That's where this is coming from?
If Neville made that up, he's a bigger clown than I thought.
What does he gain from making that up?
Or simple because he knows that he should be replaced so that the team will perform better?
It's weird how everyone is having a go at him for asking to come off, he might have a knock, he might be cramping, he might have been told he's coming off, at 6-0 down, he might be needing a rest.
Pathetic from him. I'm slowly leaning to the view that selling him in the summer and getting someone less careless/chaotic for that number 10 spot is the way to go.
You know this is a reach mate. We wouldn't be talking about this if it wasn't for our entire defence going on holiday
I don’t want to see him helping our defence. He losses possession in those areas before that led to goals. We would have lost by more.
He did win the ball near our corner flag near the end there. Showing bit of passion, albeit too late.
I'm not saying he is making it up. I was surprised to read on other places the captain wanted to come off... I was asking the source for that
Any thoughts on Bruno’s attitude today?
I mean there were bigger issues than De Gea's distribution today, but he's probably incapable of hitting 75%(maybe more) of the passes Alisson can.
His attitude is terrible most of the time. Well it visibly seems like that when you are watching him. He constantly blames other people for his mistakes. I cannot see how he is captain when to me there are far more suitable candidates. I suppose I don't know what goes on in training and in the dressing room.
You can have a shit game, but he just completely lost his head in the 2nd and had a meltdown. That’s unacceptable
Our entire defense didn't go on holiday, Fred made a very bad positional error which exposed the whole defensive structure and further mistakes were made. It only takes one domino to fall sometimes.
It's not a reach. Sure the goal didn't happen because of that pass. But that's a major reason for our difficulty in progressing the ball from the back and why City, Liverpool and Arsenal don't have that problem.
Neville said it on commentary that he was waving his arms about on the centre circle asking why it wasn't him who came off when Rashford was subbed.
If there's an injury then that's different, but the optics are horrible when you're 7-0 down away to your biggest rival and undermines the manager's position. That is, of course, assuming what Neville said is true. They didn't actually show this on screen.
Not by far a fan of Fernandes he plays run ish often throughout the 90 but chimes in with a key piece of play. He needs improving upon, can't maintain possession and is useless at ball retention. United need a more progressive midfielder who can attribute to this area. Constantly misplacing passes.
Not been pleased with him for a while but our win ratio with him as captain as significantly improved it can't be denied.
I don't agree with the manager playing him wide right one week, then wide left. He's just not a winger.
Never want to see him on left wing again. Hes a 10, at a stretch he can play right Side.
He let himself down with his arm waving and clutching his face when he got a shove in the chest was embarrassing.

exactly this, people here arguing he’s allowed to since he is the captain. Bollocks.
a positive leader doesn’t throw arms to his teammates, things get solved talking and then you can even throw punches at the dressing room, but you do not expose your teammates. I remember the insults exchange he had with Antonothyng, it’s clear players don’t respect him enough to be the captain.
You’re pretty quiet with your criticism. Can’t imagine that being the case for others guilty of far less than Bruno today attitude wise.
Everyone was dogshit in that second half, and Bruno was up there with the worst of them, but Neville can feck off with stuff like "I've had enough of him not running back". There's barely a #10 in the league who puts in the kind of defensive shift Fernandes does. That's not a stick you can beat him with.
How is he in the 99th percentine among attacking mids and wingers for touches in his own box if he never runs back, exactly?
Neville can be such an agenda-driven wanker at times. Has a massive hateboner for Fernandes and has done for a while.
Bruno overall still has his redeeming qualities. He creates loads of chances. Just look at the opta stats. In top 5 players in league for chances created, might even be top 3 actually. He also works his socks off.
Don't like his sulking and playacting though at times.

He was more speaking today, where Bruno essentially quit as we were getting battered. I lost my head when he put in a lazy challenge on the wing and then just stood there after getting skipped past. Embarrassing himself and the club with that shite today
Yeah, I'm not defending him on today's performance for a second. Just the wording from Neville comes off like "he always does this".
Very good player to have when you are on top but perhaps the worst player to have on your team when you are struggling. Completely loses composure.
Yeah I think he means more of the whinging/playacting/yelling at teammates. Which is true, even at his best and most productive.
Neville comes off as a wanker often times, but I don't mind him blasting Bruno today because of what I watched.
I really like him but a few days ago when I was reading about how few games he has missed in his career and seeing how he can run for the whole game every 3 days with his incredible stamina, I thought that’s like Beckham. Then I started comparing them and came to the conclusion that that’s where the comparison stops.
Becks was on another level. Both in terms of ability and mentality.
But Bruno is still a very good player. Hopefully now ETH will accept that the guy needs some rest.

Neville is one of the most biased pundits out there.
Is there any actual evidence that Bruno was asking to be subbed out other than Neville's claim?
