I dey here dey laugh like mad grin today na today. Una go bring out all the players make dem collect their lashing grin grin Bruno, Fred, Pogba, Mctominay, who's next? grin bring them all out grin
I like it that way.

The only player that cannot blame is De Gea. DDG made some outstanding saves again yesterday to keep the score line respectable.

Harry Maguire’s back pass was so irresponsible.

I no really understand this blind loyalty tbf. Bruno loses the ball in a careless and senseless manner, he also tops the chart for chance creation. His decision-making when he has the ball is questionable, sacrificing teamwork to statpad for chances created, goals, and assists will hurt us in the long term.

The one that pisses me off the most is when he takes so much time to decide what to do with the ball, only to lose it before he even does. The opponents don't give that much leeway in the Premier League, I thought he would have learned that by now, he is still being constantly caught on the ball yet to decide what to do with it.
How is an AM statpading with chance creation, goals and assist?

What do you want him to statpad? Tackles and interception? angry

Please walk me through your thought process.

They want Bruno to score fewer goals, make fewer assists, and create fewer chances................so that he won't be seen to be stat padding. grin

Doc sincerely I don’t understand the agenda. We mostly play counter attack as we are clueless with the ball at our feet.

How is it Bruno fault that the clueless manager we have set up the team the way he does. Or do they want Bruno to play against the manager instructions? Infact we have even seen a lot of games that Bruno drops deep to the CM or CDM position.

In a counter attacking set up, you want your AM or midfielders to release the ball as swiftly as they can and not be romancing the balls. While I agree that sometimes Bruno do rush his passes, he’s not the reason for our disjointed midfield play.

it's crazy what the pains of defeat will make people say grin

una dey drag Bruno, who was by far our best player yesterday. Emphasis on "by far"

some people say make he dey drop for middle, after una manager don play the useless twins there, yet somehow it's bruno's fault that those 2 are not better than fellaini was as a midfielder

Bruno never win trophy? despite it being proved over and over again that no one player or coach can win a trophy alone in football

una be disappointments like una coach
So, if you acknowledge that McFred have limitations, what do you suggest we do?

One section of the fan base here have accepted that we have a problem no thanks to Ole hence are proposing a solution they think will work but you guys keep pointing at the problem...Who dey follow una argue say McFred no be problem? Una just no want talk about the solution because it involves Bruno and na una guy...No difference between some of you and Ole...

If no one comes for your head for criticising Bruno, trust me Expert, Capital and Olabode ain't online yet.
Bruno is now the problem, Pogba was here for 3 years before Bruno yet our midfield was shit. Pogba, Fred and McTominey all start in midfield but it is Bruno that should come and be dictating midfield cheesy. Its like telling Lampard to dictate midfield, when he had Makalele, Ballack, Essien, Deco and a host of other mildielder at Chelsea during his time. Bruno is no Pirlo, Xavi or Scholes, his job as an attacking midfielder is to get the ball from Pogba and co, create chances for our attackers and score goals. If Pogba and his midfield crew cannot do their job properly, get other players who can.....

You are comparing our situation with what Lampard had at Chelsea...

Seriously, you dey compare McFred to Makelele, Essien, Ballack, Deco and co? Na wa o!

i'm sorry but this makes no sense
Bruno is not your fuccen manager
Mcfred are not the only central mids at the club
And again, if Ole wants Bruno to play closer to the pivot, he should give the instructions!!!

Nothing will make sense to you Bruno fan boys.

We all know Ole has signed a pact with the devil to play 4 2 3 1 every other match day which means McFred must start even if it means Pogba has to play as a CB...Ole takes the blame for his ineptitude but then, since we know he knows nothing but 4 2 3 1, is it important that certain players adjust their game to make things easier for the rest of the team.

Joezinho:
Ronaldo is a cheat code in the air and I can't remember us putting one cross onto his head. Has he even had an attempt on goal with his head for us, I can't think of any.

AWB can't cross to save his life. And with Greenwood RW and Pogba LW, we don't have any width, let alone cross.

Our wingplay is slow and predictable, it takes us so long to get into a decent crossing position and then it's usually a poor one.

All thanks to Ole Gollum..
This is all Bruno's fault grin

damn..i may well be a "fanboy" for defending that the player that dragged the club out of woes is not the reason that you have clueless mids as the cherry ontop of a useless manager

And how do you know that Bruno is not closer to the box as a result of Ole's instructions?

I have criticized Bruno here before wanting him to cut out some of his lapses BUT like i said yesterday, this weekend's game is NOT the time to criticize Bruno. He was our best player on the day. He created the most chances in a single EPL game in 3 years.

That is the first thing. Wrong person, Wrong time. Bruno's day might come but it is not now. There are multiple people to be dragged over yesterday's game first.

Secondly when one starts hearing things like he should stop stat padding then one wonders if people know what stat padding means. There are things to criticize Bruno about, i don't think stat padding is one of them.

I think i will stop here and let you guys keep up your good work.

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by DeadPresidents: 7:22am On Sep 27, 2021
It’s village market square level lunacy to keep insisting an AM in a counter-attacking system should be involved in “controlling the midfield”.

We have two able bodied men in the midfield that were unable to string three consecutive passes between each other, but we must blame the AM or be labeled, “Bruno cultists”

It’s really annoying for me when my Madrid supporting friend keeps laughing about our “2-in-1 DM that can’t pass “ and i know that man is spitting facts.

This is sheer lunacy!!
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by TrebleChamp(m): 7:23am On Sep 27, 2021
CapitalCee:
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.

Have you ever seen Totti controlling midfield in Italy or Roma? When De Rossi and perrota or pirlo snd Gattuso for Italy

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
No need for all this analysis, Bruno is a useless player grin grin...

Definitely, you didn't read me say he is stat padding, he is a very good attacking midfielder one who will excel if he is focused solely on his job but at the moment, he needs to drop deep no thanks to McFred (Ole actually)...I have read some takes on Bruno which isn't correct but then you too have to acknowledge that some takes here is banter-driven...

Bruno with a solid base will be awesome but at the moment, he and the team doesn't have that so your earlier take on him is still valid...

this is it...Bruno has weaknesses..nobody is saying he should not be more involved in mid play..but we have not failed to win any match because bruno did not join in midfield play, which is not like he doesnt' do at all but maybe not with enough regularity

y'all enjoy

For you and your ilks, it must be one way or no way...

Ole keeps playing McFred even at the expense of our best midfielder, Pogba and VDB who offers more...As longer as Ole is manager we will keep seeing McFred so, what do you suggest? We continue with the way we have been playing or find a way to mitigate the effect of playing the evil twins?

We don't have a problem scoring goals as we have players who are clinical in attack but we definitely have a problem creating chances talk less of big chances, retaining possession and pressing as a team. I feel Bruno can do better in helping us retain possession but the majority of the blame is on Ole.

We have almost zero attacking contributions from our fullbacks.

Our pressing is about the worst from the title challengers...

With or without an expert DM, we should be able to dominate Aston Villa at Old Trafford...

I remember someone mentioned here that we shouldn't read to much meaning into our demolition of Leeds, I think it was TheLequte. To be honest, the fellow was right as we have not played well since the first game of the season.

I am just surprised that no Ole fan boy has come here to point to the results elsewhere in defense of Ole, at least they now know that it's not a good defense because if we were serious, we'd ha e sue this weekend to steal a March on our rivals.
All this problem you highlighted are Bruno's fault. He is the problem of the team and should either be benched or sold asap....
