He was shockingly poor o

Dreadful Dreadful performance.

If Portugal's manager decides to bench him forthwith, no one would bat an eyelid

He's not even getting the ball.. Don't understand how a manager will have an AM like that and he doesn't even make sure that he gets the ball..

It's just vitinha, neves and the center backs exchanging passes between themselves..
Yes, with Martinez, it’s been absolutely the most boring football from Portugal. Diogo Costa was their saviour today and against Columbia. Vitinha just forming activity thruout. The sideway passes were on another level.

Hope you saw the stinker the fraud dropped. No team can be successful with Fraudnandes in midfield. He's a liability like no other.

This na rubbish excuse. Portugal had 58% possession in that first half alone in Croatia half. What is his job?

I don’t know why Bruno is chasing goals instead of assist!!! Bruno need to step up. I don’t understand him at alll

Well tbf there's no world class player in this Portugal team that hasn't looked ordinary under Martinez.

he was poor

but martinez is an agent
and the team setup is very unforgiving for his type of player

4-2-3-1 that relies heavily on wing backs/wingers beating their man and putting in a cross
so as a 10 he has to be the second man in the box (also in the first half, ronaldo refused to stay in the box)
which he did well enough and should have gotten a goal each against colombia and croatia

but it also means he has to simultaneously running ragged doing defensive duties when the wingers lose possession which is about 2 of 3 times when they do not pass back
in the summer heat of the americas, he can barely keep up since the team defends with 10 when ronaldo is on the pitch
and yesterday, leao and neto chose when they liked to defend
on the goal both were almost walking back

at united, there is far more defensive contribution from the attackers and play moves centrally




the one time bruno had space to play a pass in, he assisted ronaldo against uzbekistan

i think the defending with 10 men in the summer heat makes them want to keep the ball more and take fewer risks
even fernandes typical spamballs are almost non-existent

😃🤣😂

it is not just a defense of bruno but a defense of the entire bottom 7
ronaldo, leao, and neto were defensive passengers yesterday




i think there are tactics to bring bruno into a game
but martinez is an agent and i don't think he has it in him

martinez has mendes/leao/felix on one side and dalot/cancelo/conceicao on the other
neto can play both sides
so the instinct is to depend on wing play
their entire gameplan is to pass the ball from side to side until it gets to the wing

martinez could play ronaldo and ramos up top
or ronaldo and felix up top
with bruno behind
and a full complement midfield of vitinha, and the two neves
let mendes and dalot/cancelo do the wing play

when bruno f*cks up in this setup you can say his performance was irredeemable because he is the primary creative force and there is more defensive solidity

but i watched the game yesterday and the entire second half was heart-attack inducing because anytime croatia moved forward, they looked like they could score
same thing in the colombia game
loads and loads of space




i am not saying bruno had a good game
he was poor

but this is similar to amorim playing bruno as a 6
the formation martinez prints out does not work on the pitch

Are we even sure this is the same Man Utd’s Bruno?

Where’s my El Bomba? The player we have been watching is the cloned version of Bruno Fernandes.

That Neto pass that resulted in Ronaldo’s offside goal is what I was expecting from Bruno in Portugal. He’s capable of making 10 passes like that per game.

The Bruno that we mostly love at Man Utd has completely disappeared. He’s not taking any risk with his passes. He just wants 7.7 SofaScore ratings for his irrelevant passing accuracy.

Where’s the real Bruno Fernandes?

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Trevor012(m): 2:39pm On Jul 03
Excuses and long epistles to defend the fraud. Even at United he's the same useless rat faced nigga that unbalances our midfield. Ratnandes is a liability in midfield.

Hopefully Martinez have realized the rat is a liability and sits him on the bench from now on. I need a three man pure midfield against Spain and then watch Vitinha and Neves perform.

United couldn’t have won that game at the Emirates without him.

His line breaking passes from the deep is incredible. Dude can pass a Nike ball through the eye of a needle. He just needs to take care of himself to avoid niggling injuries that is threatening the longevity of his career.

He’s an amazing player.
Lisandro is a cheat code.

The best ball-playing defender on the planet.

Leeyo Maysee dun cast

The scales are finally off the eyes of some slow n!*s cool

Now they're connecting the dots carefully and it's clear to see what's behind the mask now

Controversial 419

E remain Guardiola and FiFA romance to be unearthed but that one is too smart.

Anyway, should baldie take international duties, him self go cast

If you're just figuring out Leeyo Maysee's deep coruption, then just know you're very slow. Anyway, it's better late than never

I was told here by Einsteins that he will never make it in the Premier League.

Carragher did a whole session on MNF for 30 minutes, lying to his minions that Lisandro isn’t fit for the rigors of the Premier League.

Carragher has since apologized for his ignorance. cheesy
