By crying that his initial freekick was right into wall and hit an ellbow from a player with his back to towards the goal. Great point to give him credit for. This was a bad game. 2nd goal came right from rushed play of his bombing it forward only for it to get back instantly against an unorganized defense. Think the penalty scene at the end originate from a wayward pass from him as well.He linked up well with Dorgu on the left, but his shift higher up the pitch stifled our creativity from deep. Everton pressed high, fully aware that Casemiro and Ugarte lacked the ability to break through their press.
It was a mixed performance, but credit to him for showing the character to help us get back into the game.
He was man of the match mate. Try to leave your biases at the door.2 misplaced passes resulted in goals and awful till he remembered how to play football after his goal.
Still gave away a pass at the end which resulted in the overturned penalty.
He was man of the match ffs.By crying that his initial freekick was right into wall and hit an ellbow from a player with his back to towards the goal. Great point to give him credit for.

Great game for this thread for sure - fans will celebrate his freekick, critics will criticise everything apart from the setpiece.
what exactly was excellent about any of the performances today?! I mean, I know statman dave will tweet something and 07 will rush to put it in but I'd be interested what the excellent part was?Poor first half, excellent second half. He kept Ten Hag and Ole in the job for longer than they should have been and he might end up doing the same with Amorim. No wonder every manager continously selects him for 90 minutes every game.
What does that mean?We actually haven't deserved him.
He saves us time and time again. We would be fecked without him the last few years.This thread is bonkers

In a match where our first shot on target was in the what 70' minute? And a setpiece that was luckily repeated? Mate, this match could have been lost with a little less luck in the end and you'd luck at a crap performance and a crap result. A half decent result doesn't change the performance. I am not saying he was abysmal today. But if excellent and man of the match are thrown into the rumble, I don't know what meaning those terms still carryHe was man of the match ffs.
What does that mean?
The problem is people can't separate the good with the bad. Yes he had a couple good attacking moments, but he absolutely cannot play in the deep cm spot. So we have one half focusing on the attacking moments and saying he was world class and the other half focusing on the cm moments and saying he's still crap. It's a middle ground. I still think he has to play further forward he just get bullied and plays dumb shit at cm.This thread is bonkers
He had a decent 20 minutes after the free kick.what exactly was excellent about any of the performances today?! I mean, I know statman dave will tweet something and 07 will rush to put it in but I'd be interested what the excellent part was?
I was expecting to read a thread of praise. The position we're in, that was actually a very important point and he was instrumental to that. We're at such a low point that comeback will hopefully lead to a moral boost. He's a great fighter and clearly cares about the club.This thread is bonkers
Our best player. Think we need him in a deeper role
This mentality led to him making the pass that almost ending in us conceding a penalty in the dying minutes. No doubt, we'd be a better team if every member of the squad had his determination but lets also not act as if this is his only character trait. He was rushing it a lot today. A lot. And it directly fueled the frantic character of the game. People complain about Amorim playing so many defensive players yet seemingly fail to see that even with that we can't exude any form of rhythm and control in our game. Obviously thats not just on Bruno but he is a massive part of it.One thing he never does is hide, though. Even on a day when his performance wasn’t up to par, his mentality stood out. There’s a lot that many of our players could learn from his determination and willingness to keep pushing.
So his lack of composure, ridiculous wastefulness (something we'd been warned about before he arrived here), and overall chaotic disposition is the fault of his teammates? He's probably our best player, but he's more than played a part in the shitshow of the past few years.Its very simple isnt it. For his entire time here he's been surrounded by players without character, work rate, ability - often playing in poorly coached teams. Hed have absolutely excelled with any real talent around him at any top club
I wonder what players suit his system? None apparently.Another player that apparently doesn't suit Amorim's system. Sigh.
Can't dictate the game from one of the no. 10 positions, much better as soon as he dropped deeper, but that is not a long-term position for him in this team.
