His usual poor self
He wasn't worse than the rest of this shit show today but man, he is impervious to subbing... I know there weren't many options on our bench but sometimes the manager should just get somebody out of the misery
30 years old and has won nothing in his career but he's trying to be the hero
I suppose the League Cup only counts as a trophy when our rivals win it.Not true. He's won the 'most chances created without getting many assists across a season' award multiple times.

I also thought the subs were bad. But Bruno is always safe of being subbed it feels - I guess, ETH thinks that he is instrumental to the thing he considers our "style of play". Probably the same reason Rashford rarely gets subbed even when clearly not on it. It's frustrating to say the leastErikson for Casemiro was bad enough. He could have come on for Bruno since Bruno was losing the ball already so it wouldn't have been worse.
And then Amad came on for Mainoo. unbelievable.
When Bruno started limping I was hoping he'd be out for 2-3 weeks and I really hate saying that about our players. But he cannot buy a pass right now.
If he treated the ball with care he would do a quarter of the running he causes the entire team to do, playing basketball retrieving on his constant stream of turnovers.the guy looks exhausted, not helped with Mount being a perma-crock

Nah, he always shows for the ball.Spineless
Scared to keep the ball, you know why? He doesn't trust his technical skillsNah, he always shows for the ball.
Mindless ? yes.
People complain about this season alone but, for me, this has been Bruno since I watched him at Sporting, which is why I wasn't big on signing him in the first place. I was only for it because Lingard and Pereira were terrible that season as our 10s before January and we were desperate.
The only difference between now and the start of his career here is the goals (many of which were penalties). His general play has always been a problem in terms of rendering us unable to stay composed in tight situations because of not only being lightweight in possession, but his incessant need of going Hollywood Hulk Hogan. We can never just calm a game down or maintain heavy possession pressure in the oppositions final third when we are on top with him in the team because if we have the ball for more than a few minutes, he just gets the urge to ping one whether it's the right thing to do or not.
I liked to think that - if Erik was going to consider him a starter when he first arrived - that he'd at least coach some composure into his play, but no. If anything, it seems Erik is fine with it considering Casemiro and Eriksen share the same flaws in possession. That's why Mainoo has been such a breath of fresh air this season.
Pereira was actually decent when used at #10 that season (not great or anything, but decent). It was when Ole dropped him back into central midfield again that he was terrible. Was easily better than Bruno today in that role as well.People complain about this season alone but, for me, this has been Bruno since I watched him at Sporting, which is why I wasn't big on signing him in the first place.

Capable on the sublime but it’s mainly just giving the ball away these days and blaming others. Pretty sad to see.
Indeed. The scouts didn't even want to sign the guy due to his careless passing. This is Bruno to a tee.
Bruno is not the problem.
He was absolutely masterclass when he played higher up the pitch.I remember him keeping the ball a lot better under Ole and using it better as well.
This Ten haag ball needs to stop, that just nerfs our best chance creator. Bruno is a 10 play him like a 10, casemainoo or whoever plays the dm both need to hold since our fullbacks also dart forward to create the overload.
