Possibly one of the worst posts on this thread, and there's been some shockers!I disagree, I thought Ugarte as example was better over 90 mins. Heaven I thought was so good in time on pitch that, while I’d agree that is unusual to get MOTM for 60 mins, I’d would absolutely break protocol for performance there.
In your head it was clear choice, goes without saying.
Context though, he played well…great goal but third goal in 3-0 last minute. Messed up two counters for third before that.
Two assists? Only in paper. First was speculative pass that should be dealt with…ended with Hojlund, facing a defender running 30 yards, pushed wide scoring with great finish. This is only assist on paper as nobody else touched ball since Bruno. Did anyone think there was a good chance we would score from that pass, expect a goal? Second assist is even worse. Not even sure he touched it after playing the wrong pass initially and it coming back to him. If he did it was toe poke that ended up near Garnacho.

Quite easily a MoTM performance from Bruno last night, was a complete performance.
He didn't need to make the run he did for his goal, he could have just held his position and been lazy, but no, he wanted to score, to get the win and put the result beyond doubt.
How we doing with him? Guy has been consistent garbage three years straight. He has four or five Stan’s here for sure but majority see through him.

Exactly. It’s setting Bruno up for failure to elevate him to such a comparison. Needlessly, too.
I don’t think he’s close at all. The poster he quoted said he’d get in the 99 team. Yorke was a top 3 player in our 99 team so he obviously wouldn’t.He is better than Yorke imo, though they're pretty different sorts of players.
I loved Dwight Yorke - and he was brilliant in that season. But that was an outlier in his career, he never came close to those heights before or after.I don’t think he’s close at all. The poster he quoted said he’d get in the 99 team. Yorke was a top 3 player in our 99 team so he obviously wouldn’t.
What everyone gets excited about Bruno doing while we are in the bottom half is what Yorke was doing in our treble winning side.
I believe he was 1st in goals and 2nd in assists. Think he got 29 and 22 G+A that season. He was world class and a big game player.
Maybe overall as a player he was better than Yorke (personally don’t agree) but the level Yorke hit in 99 would have any version of Bruno on the bench pretty easily.
It's a flawed comparison for several reasons, chief among which are that they play different positions and also that Yorke was playing in a brilliantly coached, highly functional unit packed with top players. The part in bold is so strange to me...like Yorke's achievements were meant to be more impressive because he was surrounded by better players? Surely it's more difficult to put those numbers up in a dysfunctional team. Also, Yorke was nothing like as consistent as Bruno.I don’t think he’s close at all.

Didn't Dwight Yorke ask Fergie for a year off after winning the treble? That pales in comparison to Bruno's relentless winning mentality to want to play/win every game.I don’t think he’s close at all. The poster he quoted said he’d get in the 99 team.

Yep…I think he played well, great goal. Thought Ugarte was better….heaven was exceptionalI agree with this. That being said, his finish for the goal was great and he still offered a very good performance in total. Whether thats MotM or not is personal decision at the end of the day and I wouldn't go into battle against somebody who thinks he was. I'll use the chance to state that I agree, he definitely takes a bit more care of the ball and doesn't seem too rushed in the last few games which is a good thing. Lets see if he can maintain that though, when the going gets a little tougher.
His performance from minute 1. Was at heart of breaking things up, keeping us in midfield battle that Eriksen seemed to keep wanting us to lose, tracking runners, big intervention, making runs himself to get forward, tidy on ball also. He and Heaven for me had biggest impact on us keeping foothold.For what reasons do you think ugarte was better last night?

Bruno played well, scored great goal. I don’t have to agree that he was MOTM…this thread is like cult of Bruno.

Ugarte was the seventh highest performer according to the match day thread. Having him ahead of Bruno is borderline delusional. Heaven is a little more understandable (though still mad as he didn't play more than 1/3 of the game).His performance from minute 1.
