We are playing 2 CMs in a double pivot role, you still want Bruno to drop deep.. smh
Two CMs that are closer to the defenders, and then an AM that normally should be in the midfield helping to control the game instead of dragging goals with Ronaldo and Greenwood.

Lmao!

I will continue to hound, terrorize, and molest Sancho until he lives up to his 73M price tag. Man is currently playing like he is Shoretire or Elanga.
And we will continue to do same to any (including senior) players that would rather stat padd than do the simple things required of footballers (particularly midfielders).

Bro, forget all these things they are saying. They hate Bruno, only Doc that I see that o constructive criticism, that if bruno saw the deffieciency of the team he shouldn't wander about . That i agree but saying Bruno must drop into CDM position to orchestrate play. Na BiG BIG lie we have 3 Cms in McTom, Fred and Pogba if they are not ready to do their jobs they should be sent packing
Stop twisting people’s words. No one is saying that Bruno must drop to the CDM position. CM nko? We are saying he should help control the midfield by taking less silly risks and playing in the midfield. Bruno is always dragging the forward positions with Greenwood, Ronaldo and co. Does that make sense to you?

Rooney was drwaing us back, that was why we didnt win treble in 2007. If he had abandoned his duties as an AM/SS and helped Vidic and Ferdinand defend, or helped Van der sar to make save we would have defeated Acmilan and Liverpool to win UCL and won Chelshit in FA Cup final. Rooney was a fraud strip him of his legendary status ASAP
Just try to understand what’s going on, first, Rooney had very good players behind him, then he was more like a SS, vs Bruno that has McFred and plays proper AM role.

Tell me why he should not help to control midfield. In our setup, we have three forward players, already, why do we switch to 4-2-4? Instead of focusing on our 4-2-3-1 which should become 4-3-3 when we aim to control the game and 4-2-4 when we are playing attacking football.

Tell me why we don’t dominate play. To dominate play, we need to keep the ball, and an extra body is needed in the midfield for that plus recycling of possession is key. Bruno won’t do both. He would rather collect from McFred and throw away in 1 second.

Think about it na!

Lol, you should have known that Rooney was more like a supporting striker, and in 2009, he was our main striker. Did he play 10 at all? yes, a few times and the style/set-up was always different.

Na lie go and watch their games. Those ones lose possession took when they want to find their man. So you expect Bruno to deliver 20 passes or crosses per match and all to come off when defenders and DM are watching. If that is the case we will be having a cricket score all matches
Must he do 20/25 long passes and crosses per game? Tell me if the guys you mentioned ever dropped 25 long passes in a game. It shows that Bruno is just a high budget stoke City player.

The issue is midfield control not Bruno losing balls.
To aid midfield control, Bruno can do simple things as well, of course, he can take risks, calculated ones, and must always be ready to give the nearest player the ball and recycle possession. This simple thing aid midfield control.

Why should McFred recover the ball and then Bruno senselessly lose it so McFred can start chasing the ball again, is that fair?

There is no way we can do one DM in games with Bruno and Pogba losing possession everytime.

OLE's game play is just to counter attack his opponent at any given instance, that is why those long balls are vital. Long balls can take out 3-4 opposition players at once.




Maybe you need to watch Paul Scholes long balls from Midfield that started our goal scoring moves under Fergie.

Replace McFred with Carrick and Scholes, this Bruno's imaginary problem will disappear
Scholes and Carrrick were not hurrying to play long balls to our strikers. When they saw opportunities, they took them.

Bruno’s style is, collect the ball, hoof it to our strikers and insha Allah. Are we Everton or Stoke City?

I still blame all the imbalance on Ole. No matter the personnel on the field, I struggle to see what the plan is that doesn't involve Bruno. The energy is just too low for a big team. We can't go anywhere with that

Dont mind them. They should admit their hate and save us these sanctimonious sermon.
Even a defensive Mourinho will never ask Lampard to drop and start controlling midfield where makalele, Essien and Ballack are playing,
you expect Ozil in Madrid to control midfield where Modric, Khedira and Alonso are playing or in Germany when Scheistwiger, Kroos and Khedira are there.

You expect muller to control midfield when Kimich, Goretzker are playing or Gundogan in National team.

Even in a defensive chelsea Havertz is not controlling midfield instead of Kova, Joginho or Kante.

Was Dele Alli controling midfield when Wayama and Erikssen were in Tottenham?

Was Kaka controlling Midfied when Seedorf, Pirlo and Gattuso are playing? Or In brazil when Emerson, Gilberto silva or Zeroberto are playing?

Youri Djorkeaff in France 98 and Euro 2000, was he controlling midfield in the presence of Zidane, Viera and Emmanuel petit?

SNEIDJER at both inter had Cambiasso, T.Motta and Zannetti sometimes, while in holland he had Van Bommel and Nigel di Jong. In 2014 world cup their was Wijnaldum and De jong.

I can go on and on and on. Anybody expecting Bruno to constantly drop back and orchestrate play when his team havw Fred, Pogba and Mctom is nothing but an agendist or simply a hater or in milder terms doent know what he is saying
All the players you’ve mentioned didnt/don’t take stup1d risks. Most of them do/did not stat pad for their team.

No coach in the world will play Pogba on the wing to fit in any midfielder at the moment.

As for Bruno, David Silva was an AM renowned with eye catching through balls but he knew when to attempt to release the striker and when to play safe by interchanging passes with Fernandinho and KDB...

The job of an AM is to link midfield and attack but it doesn't mean that anytime the balls gets to you, you must attempt to locate your striker even when the chances of the ball reaching him or them is slim...A simple interchange of passes can drag someone out of position and that's what the likes of Oasis and nitrog.en are saying.
Thank you. Our play can improve if our players keep it simple. We can blame Pogba for not keeping it simple, and Fred for losing possession every time, but must not touch the messiah for taking silly risks.

So point at anyone that affects Bruno?
Our problem is not scoring goals, then we should be putting 4-5 goals past every opponent.

The midfield is shyte, when we blame our midfielders, Bruno should be included. He is also part of the midfield, except you are saying that Bruno is a forward/striker.

Speak with facts not with emotions. Sporting won the league because Amorin came and signed 16 players and about 6 of them are starters. Joa Maria, Pedro Goncalves, Palinha, Zouhir Feddal, Nuno Santos, Paulinho, and theat young left back that left to PSG. I follow sporting I know what made them win the league not your Bruno agenda.
Your team was languishing in obscurity before Bruno came and delivered the team you dont know he is drawing us back. Why didnt your Fred, Pogba and Co make the team win since until Bruno came?
