Should the captaincy be removed from Bruno?

I think that he is a very good captain and excellent leader. People who question that are talking nonsense.
 
Wouldn’t change him now. But wonder what he was at for last two years when you see what he can do. Don’t like the diving and whining - would have more impact challenging bad decisions if he didn’t look like a two year old throwing a tantrum. That matters because we need a captain that can effectively challenge bad decisions without just annoying everyone.
 
I think he’s improved recently. Not a major issue that needs replacing like he was before, by the time we are serious title contenders , ideally, 2 to 3 years time he’ll already be at an age where dropping him won’t be an issue and he’ll be a good squad player and invaluable personality in the changing room.

Think this was when Martinez's leg was cramping up so Bruno communicated this to Amorim which led to him filling in at CB whilst Martinez was one of our furthest men forward.

@NZT-One Something something watching mobile ads though right?

Ah come on, it is a joke. It is an odd thing to praise for me. This is where some roles are just very thankless, you obviously expect your captain to do something in those situations, so every captain will do it. Thats why I think, it is a bit odd to single out something like that. Thankless because a player doesn't get credit when he does it but would be criticised if he doesn't do it. We aren't praising our on field medical stuff for being prepared to give medical support as wonderful people always prepared to help people in need. It is their job isn't it? Also those scenes only become meaningful, when the result is good, I guess Arsenals players were also in a circle with Arteta and Odegard talking stuff. But there are no tweets about it.

And just for the record, the idea to take the captaincy away was obviously misguided. Would have only added negative headlines while adding no benefit on any level. For my personal liking Bruno is still too impulsive but when he manages to keep that in check, then he is probably one of the most suitable players we have for the role - contributor, always available, experienced and good workrate. He is certainly doing a good job in total.
