They also didn't have Scholes and Carrick behind them
They had players close to them or even better than them.

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.

Pogba that won almost everything with Juventus and France. Pogba has only played in big top clubs, not some shitty Portuguese league and bottom table clubs.

Brah, don’t even do Pogba vs Bruno please. Shuuuuuu!
Cuadrado won everything at Juventus, nothing new.

At Manchester United, Bruno shits on Pogba everyday, every time and twice on Sundays.

Baba Fred is one of the most criticized player here. Pogba has been dragged too just same way McTom had it hot from the fans yesterday...

Why you guys feel Bruno should not be talked about is what I don't understand...

As for Ole, if you think Fred is rubbish, McTom too and Pogba was holding onto the ball unnecessarily, why did it take Ole so long to replace McTom? Ole consistently rewards bad performances.

I have said it here before that Ole doesn't allow for a fair competition if not VDB would have displaced one of McFred and Pogba and Bruno should have been fighting for a spot on the team...The only reason Ronaldo and Varane are starting is because of their status if not Ole would've had them on the bench for so long that his fan boys will start telling us they're not good enough...
When you criticise Bruno constructively we will know. Baba our Problem is Mcfred they are useless. Play Carrick and Scholes behind Bruno, we wont be having this discussions. Put prime Zidane in front of McFred, the team will struggle. Lets stop beating about the bush we know the problem. Bruno is doing his work and he drops back occasionally to perform defensive duties, his function is to create and he is creating loads if our CDM/CM fails to do their work then they should carry their cross alone.

GOOD, so the problem is not BRUNO but McFred.
That's why I always say a good coach will mask the obvious deficiencies we have in that area of the pitch...

You watch City play and you hardly see Rodri chasing an opposition attacker all game. We have 11 players on the pitch doing their thing on an individual basis, we don't have a team of 11 players...At City, all the DM has to do most times is mop up loose balls after the attackers must have pressure the opposition to shoot the ball clear but here, we don't attack or defend as a unit that's why every team we come against look good until to watch them against City, Liverpool or Chelsea...

So if we sign Greizman and Muller now, Bruno won't start??
Hmmmmm, maybe he will start, but he will be relegated to the bench over time. These guys bring more to the game than Bruno.

Bruno is not losing the balls senselessly. If there is anybody that loses the ball senselessly in this team it is Pogba, Fred and Mctoms. Pogba is always full of himself, he will be showboating and turning like tomatoe engine until they crowd him, while Fred and Mctoms are apologies of midfielders.
Bruno just like any attacker will try to find forward players and opposing defenders will cut out most only few will go through. If you are looking for who is making our midfield to collapse look at Fred, Mctoms and Pogba. Giggs and Fletcher dominated Ballack and Essien in midfield in 2009 At home. Fergie didnt ask Rooney to go join in midfied battle
Are you talking about yesterday's match or another one?

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.

How else can someone explain that since McFred are not good enough, Bruno has to drop deep to help them retain possession. Bruno is better than both on the ball and we both know McFred don't have the passing range thus once they get the ball, they need Bruno close so they can make a less risky pass to find him as it is almost certain they'd over hit or under the pass if he isn't anywhere close to them 7 times out of 10...

It's in lieu of the deficiencies of McFred that we think Bruno has to help us in retaining possession by d roping deep and reduce his risky passes.

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?
Don't you think it is absurd that you are pushing a crazy agenda against the team's best player. Bruno have been carrying that team for about 2 years.

It's only on nairaland that a player is accused of sabotaging his team by putting up great numbers. Oomo this your agenda will be nuked and completely annihilated at its infant stage.

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.

That's because not many teams can play like city did yesterday.
Is it rocket science or are City players so good?

We have seen City vs PSG and they outplayed PSG even when PSG have players who are equally as good if not better than those of City...

The difference is the coach...A good coach will do wonders with a good team. We have a. Good team but it ends there...Ole is terrible...

Watch Brighton play today if you're chance and you'd see a team coached by a coach who knows what he is doing even though they don't have top players in their ranks...

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

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

This is the issue!

Ball retention is primarily the job of the CMs/guys on the double pivot and secondarily on the system implemented by the manager. Bruno's job is mainly creating goal scoring chances and starting attacks.
