i said overrated and overhyped especially by the british media ....which one of the pool players outside of Henderson gets over hyped and not deliver over an entire season. Cant say trent cuzz even his own teammates know he cant defend. Virgil?? he's the reason why we won the league and CL and i know ur not looking at non of the front 3 either

Salah , yes he's not the best passer and is selfish as f*** but the man scores for fun and bobby when doing what he does best is undeniable

Being ghost before Klopp gets and subs him off in 70th minute.

How is Daniel James equaling league home goals in a year?

GOD DAYUMN! I just realized Barcelona are in 10th place.

 

[bigdaddy88]

will a. madrid finally beat barcelona? if not now when

They actually did it

If they dont win the league simeone must go, better coaches have been fired for less....

I especially don't rate his passing(you serious?). he's a high volume player. too many god awful passes just to create 1 or two half decent chances. I'm sure his passing stats confrim that even though I don't know what it is. Teams like city, Bayern, RM, Barcelona would never go for him. I don't see him starting in too many top teams like Totten', Chelsea, Atleti.... Bad passing and loose touches won't slide on those teams.

It doesn't always come off. But he's got a couple of assists in him per game...scores more goals than your average midfielder even without the pens..has a good range of passing...great vision...good shooting and a winner's mentality.

^^^ is better than someone with great ball retention who only passes sideways. Bruno is capable of winning matches for you.

Maybe not sh** but his passing ability is slighly above average, lacks goals from the open field..taking into account how high up the pitch he plays...gives awayyyyyy a lot of balls

When he first came for 3 months or so great form.

But he has looked average, his penalties make his stats look better than ever remove the pens ur talking everton quality player at best

Leadership sure, but i have seen great leaders also be world class game in and out no matter the position

Even without the pens, what midfielders have more goals than him in the PL. Can't think of too many. I think you might be comparing him to his first arrival, he was never gonna maintain that level

I wonder who scored that....

Spoiler

 

[ScottyG]

You think he's shyt?

hes mad overrated. If pogba did any of the shyt bruno did yall would be on his head.

all he does is flick passes that only go through 5 out of 10 times. shyt defender and gives the ball away CONSTANTLY. Just cause he isnt doing step overs he gets a pass?

oh and dont even get me started on his UCL performance vs istanbul

 

[ScottyG]

you must not listen to commentary or youtube fan channels, they act like he's united's best player ( on the form he was on when he came in true) even on this very thread i have i have seen some suspect quotes.

anyway like i said weeks ago top 5 most OVERATED AND OVERHYPED player in the PL . that includes rashford and martial as well, put in henderson too for good measure i'll take ozil after a 4 year holiday over this dude

ozil can actually control a games tempo. He actually makes nice looking passes that result in something.

calling bruno a poor mans coutinho is 1000% accurate. Everyone acting like hes got magic in his boots but hes just got fake confidence. Should have been a clear penalty on him and the convo changes when they draw 1-1 or lost 0-1 if he didnt get a retake. And he didnt even let anyone else take it after he missed his last 2

#PogbaOut mans deserves better.

Around the 20 minute mark.

Half a hour of Saaed getting battered, the Expressions joined the chat

Always love the Nigerian take

The keeper being penalized for coming off his line is really starting to kill the game for me. I saw the replay of the Orlando keeper being sent off and it was absolute bullshyt. Keeper did nothing wrong, stayed on the line as long as he could and made a legit save, the fact that he was carded was atrocious reffing. You might as well just admit you don't want the keeper to have any chance at making the save.



Save comes at the 8.00 min mark.

If Piqué is sad I'm glad.

Mad overrated =/= shyt.

 

[ScottyG]

Mad overrated =/= shyt.

Yeah that's true. But everyone acts like he's one step under kdb when in reality he's lo celso with a green light

Wherever this game was played, it was definitely far away from Harlem.

Everyone knows not to handle the ball in the box.
