He's a bit of a jack of all trades.

Well good. He's a midfielder. That's the idea.
Yet we need specialists for this formation and he doesn't have a specialist role.
Not sure you have to be a specialist.
But in any case to question if he's good at anything? So harsh.
its absolutely crazy how reactionary our fan base can be 
last year he was the new Seedorf and now he's a nothing player according to some.. just because of very few bad/or good performances.
he's an excellent young talent playing in a shit team with a formation not suiting him , give him a break .. he'll be fine and we're lucky to have him.

The stats say he's in the 98th percentile of midfielders in Europes top 5 leagues at successful take ons. 85th percentile for touches in the attacking penalty area and 70th percentile of progressive passes received and non penalty goals, all before the age of 20.
Your eyes can tell you he's a player with plenty about him. He's confident and assured on the ball and isn't phased by the big occasion. I'll be stunned if Amorim doesn't develop him into an extremely effective option in one of those no10 roles behind the striker.
I think, Mainoo should be coached to be our star #10 (one of two in Amorim's system) and gradually eased into that role, without putting the kind of pressures on him that we have put on him last season playing him every game. Expectation is that Bruno will eventually need to depart, but for the time being Mainoo can play alongside him. It may be great if Garna-Mainoo become the two-tens partnership. They had one great game playing that way. It is still unclear if Garna can excel in that position, however, but Mainoo should
We need to bring proper ball-winning partner alomgside Ugarte. Maybe Morten Frendrup. Bruno proved to be horrible in that position, and Mainoo's talents seem wasted there as well.

I agree although I think Amorim should just play one 10 (Bruno) and Mainoo can be his cover this season. Zirkzee/Hojlund up top, overlapping WBs, play a bit more simple and put the ball into the box, give Bruno more freedom as a temporary measure to get us through to summer.
This might be giving Amorim too much patience given the lack of cohesion that we have seen, but I would like to see what he can do with a pre season and a good partner to Ugarte. That set up of two ball winners/runners behind a more mobile, technical front 3 + attacking WBs I like the idea of.
That is a good idea, except Amorim (and Erik before him) seem to be allergic to not playing Bruno 90 minutes of every game. To be fair, on the rare occasions when he didn't play we sucked ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It’s been reported he’s out for a few weeks with a injury
For the love of guru nanak.
Ugarte and Collyer also doubts for spurs

Un-fecking-believable.
When it rains it pours. No wonder Ruben looked so gloomy in the press conference.
Bruno likely (if all three out) as we have options at 10So who'll start then? Casemiro?
Yea but who's his partner?
Feck sake. Two major injuries this season. Talk about a second season syndrome from hell
Phew.
Eurgh, more pain
