Very attacking set up...We need someone like Ndidi in that midfield because Fred isn't a DM...

Bruno just keeps scoring, what a player he is...

We just need a point to qualify and I hope we get it away at Leipzig because I don't want us squaring up against PSG with our qualification still in doubt...

Donny was exceptional with his one touch passing...

Our next match is at home to PSG.

eph12:
Yeah I agree with you. Bruno should reduce his shots

The thing is Bruno should stop touching the ball.

Trevor012:
Vdb is my idea Midfielder and I love him. Quick one two's and with progression football. His positioning, one and two touch passing, sees the game with that 360 vision and doesn't loss the ball countless times. Bruno should learn something from vdb rather than fighting with our attackers for penalties.

.

Smellymouth:
Lol. He's just in another league compared to other midfielders right now..

Ole should just thank his stars that Bruno didn't slip away from him, if not he would have been gone by now. He owes his coaching career to the Portuguese

Starkizito:
Pogboom will come good maybe covid got a hold on him..

HE did well for France tho just a matter of time....

Ggmu

Cheers....

Pogba will hopefully come good at least for this season

Hmmmn.

Smellymouth:
Best midfielder in the epl..

No argument

Sniper4real:
As martial dey play LW shey e no make sense lykdat. But the guy go just the force striker role wey he no fit play well

Na Ole wan kill Martial confidence. Martial is by far our best LW, he easily takes on defenders and create space for other. But our PE teacher wan turn am to prime Van Nistelrooy.

Smellymouth:
35 games
21 goals
15 assists

And he's a midfielder ooo.. sincerely, bruno fernandes to united is one the best things to have happened in my lifetime..

When we hail him, some people think we just hail him for nothing

Unlimited22:
Sergio Ramos, David Unsworth, Leighton Baines.

Dennis Irwin, Fernando Hierro, Jose Chilavert, Lothar Matheus, Khaled Badra(Tunisia), Ian Harte (Leeds United and Ireland)

Lana1:
If anyone is picking on Martial, it's because he's the worst of the bunch.

It's only in Martial's case that we keep hearing different excuses.

One time, it was because "they took his number 9 jersey".

Another time was because "he and his girlfriend split up".

Last season it was "supporting cast wasn't good enough".

This season it's because "he's not the one taking penalties".

Next season we'll probably hear something like "he's color sensitive and the red of our jersey is too bright for him".

Excuses no dey finish for where Martial dey.

The guy is useless plain and simple.

You forgot the one wey reign well well, that Mourinho is giving him defensive responsibilities and Mourinho's system doesn't suit him bla bla bla like say no de same Mourinho de coach Son and Kane now. The issue is and I kept saying it, whenever you see excuses being made for players, know that, that player will never suceed. Look at Pogba, we keep making several excuses for him for 4 years without anything, Bruno came in and started blowing everybody away, no excuses.
The problem with Martial is that he behaves too much like a baby and lacks psychological strength, he has the talent but rarely indulge himself to work hard. Martial came into the first team before Rashford with better exposure and experience, yet Rashford is outdoing him despite the fact that Ole gave him the leading role since he came.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Martial isn't the only attacker either

Make Una take am easy as Una dey drag him jersey

Na small thing dey vex Patrickmuf [/color]

Martial is the only attacker dropping disaster classes week in week out, Rashford has 7 goals and 3 assists in all competitions, he doesn't need to be boasted, likewise Greenwood and Cavani who scores when given the opportunity.

taiwoliu:
Am I missing something?! Is Bruno not an Attacking Midfielder?

Isn't AM part of the team's attackers with sole responsibility of coming up with the goals?

Isn't goals part of the hallmark of a good AM?

Rashford works to get a goal, but our No 9 should be given a second penalty so that his confidence can rise like Ijebu garri.

Some fans are best playing PES or FIFA imo.

Thats my issue with him, I wonder what he means but Bruno is not judged by goals, like say Bruno na Defender

afrodoc2:
Hahahahahaha.

The guy talk say show me another.

My boss imagine.

Lana1:
United is the only so called "big club" where they pamper players and hold their hands.

Every year we must hold Martial's hand to boost his confidence. We must scratch Pogba's back so we can unlock him.

Serious clubs like Bayern would have gotten rid of them since.

Thats why we can never move forward. I swear in Fergies time Martial and Rashford will not be regular starters. Martial is not better than 2007-2009 Nani but he was a bit part player, Chicharito scored 20 goals in his first season(no penalty), but still remained a bench warmer. But here in United we allow too much mediocrity and misbehaviour, worst still from rubbish players. Any successful team must be ruthless in hiring and firing, its either you are good and in form or you get replaced. Hardly will you Fergie keeping players beyond their welcome any signs of agieng or loss of form, you either retire or be sold, even if its caused by injuries, he doesn't care. Some examples are Butt, Smith, Oshea, Brown, Fortune, P. Neville, G. Neville, Berbatov, Park, Andy Cole, Solskjaer Mark Hughes etc.
Now we have a dozen of unwanted deadwood occupying space doing nothing. Look at Liverpool how many deadwoods are in their squad now, they sold mignolet, Loveren and Lallana at the first opportunity

Trevor012:
Show me another ?

Guy go and sleep

Trevor012:
show me when our attacker were not taking penalties during Ferguson era?

Dennis Irwin a left back was the PK taker for almost 10 years during Fergie, till he retired.

Trevor012:
If Martial and Rashford starts firing tommorow won't it benefit the entire team and our performance. I don't understand some kind people at all

Another thing that will benefit the team is to bench Martial for some time to reset his brain. Have you ever seen Fergie give any of his strikers free PKs to boost them? That's a lazy mentality

Lana1:
Na every year we dey need boost Martial's confidence like say na pikin.
Someone is a useless striker and can not score 1-on-1 but you wan give am penalty when the score is 0-0 and tension is through the roof.

Sebi you know the road to OT? Go and collect it from Bruno na.

No mind am, since 5 years now, before Martial go play any better thing we must boost am, like say na bicycle tube. Na so we try to unlock Pogba for 4 years now, till now we never unlock am.

melodyogonna:
For most of last Rashford was on penalty duty, the season before that was Pogba, so for 2 seasons now I never noticed any issues with penalties. And I don't see anything wrong with strikers having to take the penalties to boost their confidence. It shouldn't be monopolized by one person.

Yes there was no issues with penalties, so why is it an issue now? Or haven't you seen teams with midfielders playing all penalties for them? KDB and Joginho are midfielders they take PK for their teams, why is Bruno’s case different

Trevor012:
Kdb is not judged by Goals and that's the end. His creativity and passing is what makes him the best in the league. That's what Bruno should be for us.

Didn't you see that Bruno is creating chances more every body in the league? He is delivering key passes more than everybody too. He is also assisting quite adequately despite the profligacy of our forwards whom he keep dropping chances on the plate for, so he is more than doing his job. Martial and should do their jobs and leave PK alone

Trevor012:
Is kdb judged by Goals? How is Bruno judged by Goals?

Who told you KDB is not judged by goals. Let me just tell you. If the current trend between KDB and Bruno continues till the end of the season, Bruno will effectively dislodge him as the best Midfielder in the league. Even if all Bruno’s goals till the end of the season are all PKs. Since Bruno entered EPL he has been head and shoulders better than KDB. Why KDB is still considered ahead of him is because of past seasons. If it continues this way Bruno will become the undisputed best MF in EPL.

handelex:
I just tire

Lol. The guy de surprise me, e say Bruno us not judged by goals. Abi you think we be Chelsea fans that judge their Attacking players by things like number of Recoveries, Number of take ons, and number of dribbles.

handelex:
Lol, the discuss is about strikers, their form and confidence and you're asking how missing sitters and one-on-ones is related to that?
Is Pk not one-on-one again?

HahahahahahahHH. No mind am, infact Martial and Rashford should be flogged for denying Bruno 3 assists yesterday. No be to de demand PK duties

afrodoc2:
If a striker is going through a lean period you can gift him a penalty if you are leading comfortably in a game. I believe Messi and Suarez did it for each other and there are other cases.

However in a tight 0-0 or 1-0 match you can't because of confidence boosting take penalty duties away from a 91% penalty taker like Bruno to a 76% taker like Martial. Definitely not now when we are struggling to get into the top half of the table with negative goal difference. It would be incredibly moronic.

Thank you doc.
Rooney for example played several years for Man United they kept tossing around the PK duties in his front despite the fact that he is a very good PK taker, from Nistelrooy to Saha to Ronaldo to Van persie until the thing reach am. He never complained not minding that sometimes he goes on a long goal drought and is being dragged by the media, Ronaldo especially kept knocking the PKs even though we are winning matches with heavy scores at that time.

Now that the team is struggling for points you wan go give unserious Martial PK

Trevor012:
He doesn't need them for anything. He is a Midfielder. He should leave them for those that will be judged by their goal output.

You must be joking. Who told you that Bruno us not judged by goals?

afrodoc2:
I just check the guy profile. Na new account. Must be an alternate trolling account.

When Frank Leboeuf a CB was taking penalties for Chelshit they had strikers but trusted him because of his success rate.

Rogerio Ceni a goalkeeper was the designated penalty taker practically throughout his club career. I am sure those clubs had strikers.

Tony Tetuila should hustle for his own goals. No credit today come tomorrow.

No mind am, no be Ramos de play PK for Madrid?
Fernando Hierro was the designated PK taker for Spain through out his career.

Milivojevic for Palace scored like 10 PKs one season like that when Benteke went the entire season with out a goal, why didn't he give his PK duties out?

handelex:
So pk duties will bring their form back?

Imagine. Make we go draw West Brom for home because we wan do PK saraka.

afrodoc2:
LMAO. I was thinking the same thing. Shebi it is when a team is winning matches 4-0, 5-0 that you start doing philanthropy with penalties. This one we are struggling to win matches our penalties are not for the less privileged. Our best man should take the kicks.

I mean even if we are winning 5-0s, PKs are designated, every team have there own. Our forwards should score goals and leave PKs

Trevor012:
He doesn't need them for anything. Our attackers need the goals. Rashford has one league goal and martial has 0.

Bruno doesn't need goals? So this one they are calling his name among the elite players in EPL due to his goals contributions you no like am?

How many goals Gabriel Jesus have this season in EPL, why didn't KDB leave PK for him since he KDB doesn't need it.

Why didn't Salah leave pk for Firminho despite his goal drought.

Karleb:
How is this Bruno's fault?

Bruno created 6 keys chances yesterday, was he creating them for himself?

Abeg stop with this agenda.

The people saying this are either Martial FC or Pogba FC. I mean I don't have issues with Martial, my problem is with pogba. But he Martial should sit up, Bruno is not the reason he is lazy and sulks.

Trevor012:
What do Bruno need the penalties for? Absolutely nothing when we have attackers struggling for goals and form. He should leave them for Martial or Rashford. One goal for martial and he might get his confidence back.

He needs it to increase his stats and make it good. He too is a human being. Everytime Bruno should do this and that for so so and so person, why are others not doing it for him?

Bruno should leave no. 10 for Pogba.
Bruno should keep it simple.
Bruno should leave PK duties.
Bruno should drop deep and mark to unlock pogba and boost his confidence.
Bruno should stop shouting on Lindelof for playing nonsense, he just came in, why is he bossing everybody around.
Bruno should drift left to help Rashford.

Why is nobody helping Bruno?



He created numerous chances last game including sitters for Martial and Rashford, if they can't convert them, thats their cup of tea. Martial will not inconvenience Bruno’s blue with his reggae. Let him score goals like his mate.
