Many times we won the ball back and lost it immediately because someone is throwing a long pass for Ronaldo or greenwood to run to. How is that fair please?

But you are not trying to drag him?

How many of those balls did GhostTominay win back?

afrodoc2:


Bruno has had his shyte days but yesterday is the wrong day to try to drag him. Many are just using the penalty miss to further their agenda ( i don't know if you are one of them). He was probably our best player but somehow you are now telling us that he is the reason for McFred's struggles.

Yesterday i actually pitied Fred. He was poor in the first half but grew into the game and watching him cover for McTom was painful to see. I believe McTom is not match fit but Amaka has rushed him back from his surgery because he doesn't trust Matic or VDB.

Meanwhile i noticed nobody has really mentioned CR7 standing like an Okorocha statue for most of the match.

Of course, I agree Bruno did well yesterday. I am not dragging him for missing the penalty, though the way he held on to the ball before the PK was disgraceful. Anyone can miss penalties. So no big deal at all.

The elephant in the room is his unnecessary risk taking, it’s affecting the team.

Oasis007:




This is not an Agenda to drag Bruno Doc. Coz Expert and Co already seeing it as an Agenda as usual. Sporting CP won their League after they sold Bruno to us. When Bruno was with them, he's the one banging Goals and Assists, winning individual Awards, yet no league won but 2 Cups equivalent to Carabao Cup

I repeat, this is not Agenda, but why no other Clubs were eager to get him before we eventually did in January? He's a top Lad. A good Player, but he needs to put aside individual glory (stats) for Team to succeed.

The same way Gerrard stopped Liverpool from winning the league

As for Ronaldo, his legs are gone, his strengths are positioning, being clinical etc, can’t expect him to chase the ball every time and still score goals. He is a 36 year old number 9.

I guess you are happy he missed yesterday's PK, at least he did what you asked. Do you think we will fare better without Bruno?

If he is going to be a short 1 in game play then this season go long pass how we dey think am o.

A solid DM will still face this and it won't be pretty though much better than what Fred can offer. We still won't win anything with such behavior in the team if we have players that are not playing at close to full capacity and babysitted

Illimitable:


He’s the designated penalty taker.

If Ole wanted Ronaldo to take it, he would have shouted from the bench.

We all saw Noble collect the ball from Rice last weekend and it was Moyes that made that call.

Ronaldo wouldn’t give it to Bruno too if we swap places.

I see your point but if Ronaldo doesn't get to take penalties, there will be crisis in that dressing room. It's not rocket science.
Maybe we shouldn't have bought Ronaldo Tbh.

.... but UCL is greater than EPL nau.

Expert17:


And the same player has bn involved in more than 60% of our goals since he joined

Because the team is tailored for him at the expense of better dominating football

Lol, I remember we had this discussion last season. Bruno as a Sporting player did not win any major trophy, Bruno as AM at united has not won a spoon in 2 years.

Be like say we don enter one chance o. He is a good player sha, we just need to get rid of OGS and bring in a manager that can make the team gel. Bruno will be a very good player under managers like Pep and Klopp. They will help him to be a much smarter player.

eph12:

What was our situation before he joined the club? is it better or worst now?

Should we go back to Lingard and Mata?

How many games have you won without him since he joined?

Why can't we tailor our game to favour Fred, Pogba or Cavani? Why Bruno?

At least Fred was less worse than McTomminay in a match for the first time in a blue moon.

olabode89:

Emotions everywhere..... LMFAO.

We can't drag him coz he's Lord and Savior of Manchester United post Fergie Era. At least his reckless style of football has helped us break trophyless Jinx.

You said I was happy he lost a PK, yet you wanted me to respond to your Question?

afrodoc2:

I've always made an argument for Fred about this. He always does more than his partner, almost every time but you do give Tom the pass because he pops up with the occasional goals. Meanwhile the midfield is struggling and should never be so

afrodoc2:

Style of play matters. Messi and Ronaldo won’t chase balls, you need them to provide assists or score goals.

We are still waiting for Wise Man Sancho to Score or Assist

You dey mind that zombie? It lives off any attention it can get from me...

It will try forever but I am not going to reply to it...

You are right. I think this will change. Ronaldo will take over. It’s going to be a tussle between Bruno and OGS vs Ronaldo and the board. Loolll

City marking dey sweet me die. One person go dey ur front but then, the other city players are going to stand in front of all the passing options close to to you. Na so dem no gree Chelsea hold ball yesterday

Yes let's go back to Lingard and Mata.

Ask Ole why. He is the tailor. Since he's the one doing this tailoring you're proud of, I don't want to hear you say anything against Ole o

eph12:

I don’t know why these Bruno boys are stubborn. They just wanna focus on stats. As long as he is stat padding, even though it’s affecting the team, we should not bother.

Expert17:


Bench him, let's see the outcome.

Even in cup games, he can't rest Bruno.

Again, Bruno is the no 1 in our team.

Baba nobody is saying Bruno should be dropped but he has to be patient sometimes on the ball. A short pass to retain possession and have the opponents running after the ball will most likely see them tire out before the hour mark or lose concentration making it easier for your striker to ghost in behind (Pep's Barca, City and Bayern to a lesser extent do this a lot)...

You guys can criticize every other player but you don't want people to criticize Bruno even when it's down to constructive criticism. No be so e suppose be na.

Sporting won the league because the brought in Amorin and signed nearly half a dozen starters. Stop hiding behind these long epistle to further your agenda. You dont like bruno admit it lets move forwrad. You are expecting somebody that plays AM who function is to link CM/DF and Attackers and also to arrive late in the box to control the Midfiled. I am not seeing any talk of how Mctoms and Fred as well as Pogba were shiting everywhere, or how Greenwood would have delivered at least 3 assists to Bruno.
Tell me any goal united scored that doesnt pass through Bruno? 90% of Man United goals passes through him so as an AM whatelse do you want him to do? Oga state your agenda this your talk no follow abeg.

It's the energy and seriousness for me. At a point there were 5 city players closing down a small area and even if the ball escape there, they'll sprint back to regroup and mark the next area. Our mumu players will spread themselves

He's a top player no doubt, but needs a Pep, Klopp or Tuchel to succeed as an AM. His positioning is topnotch and he gets fantanstic eyes for Goals no doubt.

My Concern is him losing possession before it even gets to him. He has cost us at least 5pts this Season, but NO Bruno shouldn't be called out, but Fred and Co should rather be Scapegoats.

TBF, nothing special has happened since Bruno joined. He is a hard worker, but he is not helping us as such.

A solid DM would do better cos he is a solid DM which Fred isn't. Even you have said 458 times on this thread that Fred is not a DM. Surely even if it remains a difficult job at least someone who has been trained to do the job will do better than someone who is not built for the role.

If our midfielders are Carrick and Scholes, we won't have this issue

Drag McFred and leave Bruno alone

Ole, in his presser, hinted that they decided before the start of the match that Bruno should take the PK.

So why the Ronaldo ‘clash’?

All these points to Ole’s inability to manage these players.

Personally, I think Bruno should take that penalty. He’s a better PK taker and in contrast to Ronaldo, had worked his socks off during the game to get us to score.

That he lost it is just bad luck and a result of his nervousness.

Sincerely hope that dressing room is steadies. The egos in there is getting too much.
