He didn't play next to Bruno Fernandes
nothing can prepare you for that level of wastefulness

True it is not a great suprise that in our home defeats to Brighton,Bournemouth, Nottingham Forest etc that he has been substituted not much after the 60th minute sometimes his midfeild partner at the same time. I suppose this was the reason why PSG barely played him in league games with PSG being the most dominant team in Ligue 1 there was not much need for such a player as Ugarte it's either need to be a case of getting the right CM partner for him or him being more of a squad player played mainly in the games where we are the underdog a bit like how we used Fred.There is an easy explanation which was very evident today. He’s better off the ball than on it. Today was an extreme example, commentator was praising how he’s everywhere and taking the ball off their players, which was true, but he was so sloppy in possession (tbf, like many others). I wanted him off at half time.

...Or more to the point he is not designed to play the system that Amorim wants to play which is weird as he was the only player who played under Amorim before. It makes one wonder the trigger of Ugarte's departure from Amorim's Sporting was it when took over from Benfica & Porto as the most dominant team in Portugal ?Anyone seen that breakdown of Bruno and his mistakes?
Ugarte is a good player. He has a role and keeps it simple. The problem is when you have someone undisciplined like Bruno next to you, you end up covering too big an area.
Problem Ugarte has was the system he was bought for isn't what we now play.

Bold statement which is probably untrue.
If you want to know why he left, it was because he was one of the best players in the side and top clubs wanted him
In any of our good performances, he has been one of the top performers by the way (in the system he isn't designed to play in)
