Rest

Be careful, don't tell me what to post.

Tears go full here today

Goaalllll

AM bosses the midfield

LostMyZeal:
Primary duty my foot!

If at all you need Wikipedia or Google to tell you wether an AM bosses the midfield or not, then we shouldn't be having this conversation until you fvckin learn to have a mind of your own

You think I'm illimitable, huh?

Lol, you have bn arguing with me but I am sure you can't do that with google.

What's the primary duty of an AM?

Odunharry:
Looking like one of our best performance so far this season.. Pressing, shooting, tackles.

True, but some people here won't stop complaining. At least be positive for once. Smh

LostMyZeal:
Bruno can never be a silky 10 seff. Not in the gaddem 7 kingdoms

He has a knack for scoring but idiot no sabi score... Fvckin mediocre that we've been managing

Attacking Midfielders boss the midfield, and I insist

You mean to tell me Hazard, Ozil, Mata, Rooney and Co didn't boss the midfield?

You really think bossing the midfield is about control alone?

These fvckers I just listed above, did they dictate play or not? And from where did they operate?

Abi na from your bedroom them operate?

Abeg rest.

1. You don't know the primary duty of an AM.

2. Which league Ben Arfa boss midfield?

nitrogen:
Oga, your own too much. Na so so Bruno you dey worship for here. Lol

You updated us on his missed passes, at least praise his hard work

Bruno won the ball from Spurs and started the attack.

That's all I need from my AM, start/create chances

Goall ball

melodyogonna:
Hazard was one of the best dribblers of his day. Just behind Messi.

Lol, Saint-Maximin of Newcastle is one of the best dribblers in football currently.

afrodoc2:
I agreed with you. The mark he made is wasting his talent. I am agreeing with you and you are still arguing with me.

P.S You made no point to dance around. Your claim that Beh Arfa was bossing midfield is best made at Nite of a Thousand Laughs.

Sancho and Antony can't stop playing inward pass, why can't you beat your man 1 v 1?

How do we penetrate with this rubbish pattern?

Tears of joy

afrodoc2:
Bruno is not infallible. The better pass was to Sancho. Even Pele and Maradona in their prime made mistakes so it is okay to accept that Bruno made a mistake.

I don't know why so many people here have extremist views. It is either a player is perfect, and every single action of his must be defended, or the player is complete rubbish and can never do anything right. Life is not like that nau.

Agreed, if Bruno had pass to Sancho and Pope intercepted, play it simple and hero ball crew would have attacked him.

LostMyZeal:
You must be a joke

So Attacking midfielders don't boss the midfield?!

And who the hell told you and your delusions that the only job of an AM is to create chances?

So, Ozil, Ben Arfa and Coutinho didn't boss the midfield in their prime?

Please tell me you're fvckin joking

I don't even want to add Eden Hazard because at some point he was considered in same bracket as Cr7 and Leeyo.. . Yes, he was that good.

If dribbling midfielders whose task is to track your movements isn't bossing of midfield, abeg tell us what bossing the midfield entails.

Bruno that can't even lace Cabaye's boots... Lmao

Bruno can't lace Cabaye boots? Lmao

Which Cabaye? The one that flopped or another one? You are even comparing a DM/CM with AM.

Hazard and Ronaldo in the same sentence

Just a little expo, the era of silky no 10 is long gone (AM like Ozil, Fabregas, Mata etc).

For the last time, the job of an AM in 4-2-3-1 is not midfield control.

That moment when you realize the people who hates Bruno stans/value midfielders like VDB and Ben Arfa.

Abeg which midfield Ben Arfa boss?

ovoP:
watch that in real time, and you will see that pass was never on.. stop carrying screenshots of moments to define games.. if he plays the pass to sancho or Antony an it's intercepted.. haters will come here and cry Holywood pass instead of the simple ball to ronaldo.. if he passed that ball to sancho(if it even gets to him)..Pope was already off his line, and would have intercepted that ball.. watch the video.. saw it on twitter also.. where half of United fans have an agenda against some players..

You can't please United fans.

Pope already saw the run from Sancho and the space, any pass to Sancho there will either be intercepted by Pope or result to a 50/50. Passing to CR7 was a plan B which can also result to goal.

Botfuss:
Work rate, shooting accuracy and passion.

Don’t worry, you will soon see the light.

He should have been a striker.

But his managers can't bench him right?

We can bet, to make it more serious.

How much can you stake? Bruno starts all games when fit/available.

ovoP:
this is a lie.. you are making it look like Bruno kills all our attack.. watch games without hate abeg.. show me his pass accuracy for the last 3 games.

The useless agenda is shocking, a player that has produced 92 G/A in 139 games.

I blame Bruno, he shouldn't have extended his contract. We deserve fraudsters like Pogba, Martial, and Maguire.

Botfuss:
Bruno doesn’t move the ball. He collects the ball and makes a champagne pass from there. Just do shakara a bit and attract players to yourself mba.

As soft as odegaard is,he still drives the ball. It allows the wingers to get into the right position. Even he will be able to make more blind runs. Baba go collect ball from midfield, launch am straight. Against city, there was a moment 3 of our players were chasing KDB on the touchline, you just cry when you see things like that. Even mount drives into the box to draw a foul. Just try, draw one or two players to your side before you pass.

I doubt if he can change though.

Then you wonder why he's the no 1 name in the team since he joined.

At least we have moved from Ben Arfa and Coutinho to Mount and Odegaard, we are getting there

We can sign our ex-player - Perreira, he drives the ball so well.

kozmicity:
Modric is bossing the midfield because he's an AM/SS right?

Even for man city, na KDB dey control the midfield abi??

off your mic

Nairaland football managers

Rashford and Martial can't bench my GOAT

BenArfa bossing midfield? Is there another Ben Arfa?

Man Utd fans won't kill me.

The same Coutinho that flopped in big clubs - Barcelona and Bayern Munich. Already at a mid-level club at 29. so we should sell Bruno and sign Coutinho?

Ozil bossed which midfield? or was creating chances and assisting? Again the job of an AM/SS is not midfield control. Hold your CMs responsible for the lack of control.

There is a reason why the players you guys stan always end up as a BIG time flop.

kozmicity:
Wow! Wetin I read so? Even KDB can't assist people who don't want to score.

When has Bruno ever been a dribbler?

Maybe they should tell you why the same KDB couldn't get 9 assists at this time last season.

When Bruno was scoring and assisting for fun, these same guys called him stat-padder, they should enjoy the draught

[quote author=Youngzero2 post=117648323][/quote]Ok, mention your preferred replacement.

ChristoBam:
Who's he's going to use instead of Bruno? Y'all just like arguing weirdly. Bench Bruno and use who?
Cuz no one's saying Bruno should be benched or anything like that.
It's all a discussion on how the team will look like in the long-term. Does Bruno fit ETH's style in the long run? That's the question.
I didn't want to entertain the possibility he might not up till recently.

What is ETH style?

Who is he using instead of Ronaldo? Martial is even injured and Ronaldo is struggling to start and finish games.

You think it's childs play for a coach to bench 80M English defender?

Can Eriksen play AM? YES

Can VDB play AM? YES

And they can't get a game in that role.

He just signed a long term contract and he's ETH captain, all approved by ETH. So you guys should brace up.

Bjteensdes24:
Omo am shocked with that Fred ratings sha as in 7.1 for that mumu wey dey play nansense loosing ball with poor first touch too

His second-half play was better.

Youngzero2:
Bruno is a very good player no doubt.However,his inability to beat the press often times or progress the ball with dribbles is hindering team at present.Especially, against low blocks
I think stats in football is giving a wrong perception of ability and performance
As a midfielder in the modern game,press resistance and a strong technical ability is very important.
When you watch modric,iniesta,Kross you don't see numbers but you see the most gifted players on the pitch through their elegance on the ball.

So ETH, OLE, Carrick, Ragnick and Portugal coach don't have football sense to know he's not good enough?

The same man that benched 5-Ballon d'or winner can't bench Useless Bruno, you guys deserve Lingard and Perriera.

He's an AM, his job is to create goals for the team and he's one of the best in that. If we ask you to mention a replacement, hope you won't mention DVD and Coutinho

ovoP:
The Bruno hate, is forced recently.. man has been our best player in the past 2 games.. pressing winning the ball, and creating chances, but for some reason, most people are on Twitter. Will come out and say the reason we play badly is his fault.. our not breaking opponent, has to do with our style of play and poor wingers.

The agenda is forced and boring. ETH benched 80M defender- Maguire, and the best striker in football - Ronaldo... If Bruno wasn't in his plans he would have been mopping the bench with his ass.

Our forwards ( wingers and strikers) should be held responsible for our lack of goals.

This is the rating against Newcastle United, I wonder how nairalanders watch and interpret games.

Borntosmoke:
Tell themoo. Forcing ball at the wrong time, have never see Bruno beat his opponent with dribbling this season. Bruno is good but not the right man for Eth style. We should buy coutinho in January. I was watching Aston villa Vs Chelsea. I was so amazed with the way coutinho was bossing chelsea midfield. Put debruyne or pogba in man u team and you will see 4 to 5 goals coming in a match. Bruno only perform when it comes to counter attack or when a team dominating man u with possession like arsenal, Liverpool, Southampton.

Sell Bruno and buy Coutinho? wow.

The same Fraudgba that was averaging 4 assists per season in EPL?

4 different coaches and none has benched Bruno, but Nairaland analysts with different agendas.

afrodoc2:
Will you extend his contract or get a true ball playing GK. My fear is that by the time DDG masters playing out of the back his shot stopping skills would have drastically diminished.

I have answered this already, it's either world cup spot or new contract hunt.

I was just praising his sudden development.

Expert17:
Kepa and De Gea fighting for World Cup involvement.

DDG has improved his ball-playing and sweeping skills.I was getting impressed until I remember that he's looking for a contract extension (which means upgrading his 375k/week pay). I hope we won't fall for this scam, he should be sold ASAP
