It's not even carelessness. He's just weak and slow. Great goal thoughLovely finish, but we’ll always struggle to control the ball when he’s so careless with it.

yeah in an ideal world he should be a squad player, ready to comeon for the last 30 minutes work his socks off, add some creativity and unpredictability to attack when we are chasing goal. No top team play with such a high risk player who can't do the basics right and lose all the control because of him.How can anyone think he's anything close to a midfielder is beyond me. There is staggering difference between him and Eriksen in terms of general play, and Eriksen isn't even that good. Bruno is just an attacker, has his uses but so freaking annoying player.

I'd argue that. Just look how little he contributes to progressing the ball from defence to attack, most of his good touches come when he's just outside the box. When Bruno drops deep there's always 50/50 if he will lose the ball, so I'd rather he stayed high.Bruno is fine as an AM. As a CM it is a completely different ball game altogether. I feel that the need to focus more on tracking back is taking a toll on his decision making. Previously as a free roaming AM, he did make bad decisions but his chance creation and attacking throughput was quite good.
That's way too soon to call. We're lacking options.My captain. Brilliant goal and ten Hag obviously rates him very highly, makes him captain and doesn’t take him off
given our attacking situation I would play him as a false 9 with Sancho and Rashford flanking him. At least then the errors are in the the opposition half
I think Eriksen was our false 9 due to past experience. He had to drop down though due to the midfield being awful.Didn’t we do this in our first game?
true, but i think our defense and midfield have improved since thenDidn’t we do this in our first game?

Exactly this. He's extremely weak with his back to goal and too lightweight in midfield, unable to win any half decent challenge. He can't keep his man away from the ball, a bit of a nudge and he's losing the ball.It's not even carelessness. He's just weak and slow. Great goal though
You come into the Bruno thread and it's always: He gives away the ball too much, he takes too many risks, he could have cost us today...
... Scored though didn't he? And if he didn't score today nobody else on our side was gonna. That's for damned sure.
That is the most important takeaway from today's game. Against Brighton and Brentford he had presentable chances and blazed over. Against Liverpool the ball dropped to him in the box and his first touch was so heavy his second was a dive. Today when it mattered he got it right.
That's what matters. After an iffy start to the season Bruno Fernandes is back to being a match winner for us. That's vital in a situation where nobody else in our forward line looks ready to take on that burden.
Of course he needs to score but that’s sort of peoples issue isn’t it? He’s not a fecking forward, he’s a midfielder so people that are complaining are those that would prefer him to improve and help the cohesion of the side with his passing and movement buzzing around the middle of the park instead of adding to the disjointed play of the team by making stupid decisions with the ball and being disconnected from the rest of the midfield. Bagging a goal is nice but at this point he’s going to HAVE to continue scoring to warrant a place in the team because otherwise he’s a detriment.
It’s not some contrarian take to want Bruno to play better in the other parts of his game. Goals and assists come and go but the other parts are what you actually build a side around.
As long as Bruno is pretty much our main goal threat, he absolutely warrants a place in the starting XI.
He's an attacking midfielder: Like Lampard, like Gerrard, like Yaya. Goal contributions are exactly why he's in our team.
I am watching the same games as everyone else, I am not seeing how sticking him on the bench makes us better. It might make us very Van Gaal: Loads of the ball but no end product.
We saw it today. Ball in the box, two chances not taken, two shots blocked. We create decent opportunities but who's taking them? That's why Bruno is, and will likely remain, vital to Ten Hag.
We don't have Haaland, we don't have Nunez, we don't have Ronaldo at 27 but 37 (and he wants out). Unless someone else is going to start scoring then, to a large extent, we will be betting it all on Bruno.
