Pogba is a Baller. Bruno should stop overdoing it. Play it simple like Pogba. I understand he wants others to think, act faster, but mentally many of the Lads are lazy.

Moreso he should not see PP as a Competition, rather as a Partner.

What’s the point in losing possession 100 times from crossing if just 10 crosses will find its target? (I’m being generous with the 10). It’s either too high or too low.

Plus we don’t have any attacker who is good in the air. So, of the 10 accurate crosses, maybe 2 or 3 gets to the promised land.

What’s the point of gifting possession to your oppponents if it will rarely benefit you?

There are other ways to get goals against a bus parking team. Outside shots will open things up, free kicks too, and you can move the ball swiftly around and create spaces with your movements.

Don’t get me wrong , crosses are good - but only when you are to a good extent certain that they will work. 2 of martial’s hattrick the other day were low crosses into the box. They should work more on stuff like that.

That's why we have low crosses.. watch how Bayern play

The fullbacks are being blamed for not crossing

I won’t blame the full backs for not crossing. I’m going to lash them for their innacurate crosses. I will also condemn the strikers for their lack of aerial prowess and intelligence.

Our strikers have scored more than 50 goals this season and less than 10% of those are from headers. Pair Ibrahimovic and Andy Robertson and Gary Neville and count how many headers they’ll get on target in 10 games.

Not saying headers are the only way to score but you gotta create many ways to score goals. Headers are good vs park the bus teams- if you know how to orchestrate and execute them correctly.

Lol... makes me to remember one game against Newscastle under Moyes were we broke the premier league crossing record.

As we criticize our boys and air our justified opinions, we should still bear in mind that this team is not yet the complete product, their are still some aspects of game play we've not perfected like the crossing aspect and stretching defenses but we are gradually improving on those aspects. Just evaluate the team how they were playing when the season began and how they play now, no doubt there are great improvements and more belief in the way we play and approach games now, but we still have a long way to go to match the likes of Liverpool and other European elites. Its a gradual process and truth be told Ole is trying...how long did it take Klopp to build the Liverpool machine? If and when we consider all these, we will understand where we are as a team and where we are going.

Spot on! Bruno is good but he should allow the game come to him instead of trying to do “too much”.

World class players don’t reach. . . They do it with so much ease.

What determines if a cross is inaccurate?

Since Pogba came back, Bruno has put our strikers clear on goal at least three times. They have either fluffed their lines or been brought down by the defenders, denying him of clean assists. This is what we expect from him, to create clean chances for our strikers. Maybe he should try passing the ball backwards more so that we won't accuse him of losing the ball again. Even the pass Rashford gave Martial for his 3rd goal or so came from Bruno's awareness of the game and Rashford was where he was supposed to be. Let's rest abeg

The reason Bruno has a record for loosing a lot of possession is because of his adventurous nature when passing. He likes to pass forward 90% of the time, trying to create chances, so it's expected . The good thing about him is that he doesn't loose it in our own danger areas that his why that part of the stats don't result in fatal consequences for us

It's Bruno Fernandes turn now

Maybe he should start passing backwards and sideways (like Lingard and co) to avoid misplacing passes.

na wa o, so 'the almighty better than pogba' Bruno should learn from Paul old pogba'

Human beings so the beloved attack dog should learn new tricks

Highlight the part where I said that Ish?! Well ain't surprised, only few Shekpites get brain.

Bruno is good, I like him, but he no near Pogba. Fact!

No one is saying he should be passing to our defenders, but sometimes, recycle possession when players haven't made the runs yet, rather than lose the ball and we try to regain possession.

Go watch how greats do it. He should calm down, losing possession against top and even mid table teams that are well set-up for counterattacks would lead to suffering and you could even concede goals in the process.

One of the reasons I continue to blame the manager. These are simple sturvs to tell players. No player is perfect, it's the managers responsibility to identify their weaknesses and try to get them to improve. Another example is set pieces. We don't do anything meaningful with set pieces. Crossing nko. These stuffs are very important when playing. Some silly games only require chances from set pieces to bury them.

Lingatd foiled many attacking moves yesterday. He also made some bold defense tackles.

It’s as if he was a defender for both sides.

Bruno is a great player

Nobody can deny his impacts on the team

The Truth is, he has admitted to the favt thay he gives the ball away quite much but then, that's because he will rather pass forward than pass backwards

Most of his lost balls were either through passes or forward balls cut short

It's hard to see him losing possession trying to beat a player or showboat


I will take a Bruno anyday anytime than a player with 99% pass accuracy but only passes sidewards or backwards


But the truth is, he need to improve
Calm down abit

That is the difference between good players and world class players


He hardly does more than three touches on the ball

But bad as e bad

Lol....mehn I love Bruno, never gives up, he's always trying to make plays and if he's dispossessed, will never drop his shoulders rather he will press to make sure we get possession back... elite mentality.
