I didn't mind that he didn't skip to be honest, Maybe he's mixing it up.
Hes done well to take the pens of Rashford
The player is pure quality, such a huge improvement to the team and out midfield. He works damn hard too.
One of the best signings the club has made ina very long time

If Pogba can work like he did last night then him, Mc T and Bruno are going to be a very formidable midfield. I thought McT was class the first half and hour or so.

It really would be. I can’t imagine Pogba will work as hard as the other two, consistently, but that is a really strong midfield

Mct has been our best midfielder this season imo. Bruno has been axe but he’s only played a handful of games and Fred has also been very good.
McT is still relatively untested as a sole defensive mid though. I still don’t like the idea of having Pogba as one of our two holding mids, much rather bring Fernandes a little further back and play with two 8s and a single defensive mid

that’s more or less how we played once poggers game on
Because our full backs are primarily defensive minded playing Pogba and Bruno in a midfield three shouldn't be much of a problem really. One of Matic/McT/Fred can be DM.
In the games we have left we need as much creativity as we can get as teams we have left to play will be sitting back I'd imagine.
Good player but wasn't great last night. Must have had about ten shots and all poor, apart from the penalty of course.

We should never, ever, play with two holding midfielders. Against anyone.
It is easy to defend against and easy to attack against.

Ole really needs to realise we're better with three in the middle and not two. It actually suits us too based on the players we have. No reason at all why Pogba and Fernandes can't play with just the one DM behind. It's not like we're short of cover at the back as we play with more defensive minded full backs so that means we should have at least four back (presuming one full back is slightly forward) at all times.
By Bruno’s standards, he didn’t have a great game at all. He attempted 28 final third passes and only completed 14 of them. Only completing half of your passes isn’t very good at all, even if they are all risky. Fernandes is class but it’s ok to admit he didn’t have a good game.
As for the midfield trio, Matic has to start along side Pogba and Fernandes. McT and Fred are both box to box midfielders, we need the stability of somebody who knows how to screen the defence.

I would rather see him attempt them and fail than just keep playing it safe.
This is what we bought him for. A lot of his misplaced passes yesterday were due to Rashford and Martial standing still.

I don't mind failing with attempted through balls VC but the ratio of failed and successful passes shouldn't be split down the middle in my opinion.

You also need to account for the fact no one has played a full game for over three months.
Your expectations are too much. I would rather see Bruno play like he did yesterday than watch the likes of Pereira swanning around and creating nothing by being safe.
You and I have differing opinions on how football should be played.

I've taken that into account which is why I'm not slamming him, all I said was, it wasn't a great game by HIS own standards.
And yes I'd rather have that than Pereira as well.
