[Albion] Time to bring Bruno back for the rest of the season

[Giraffe]

Said something similar on way home. Whilst it is arguable whether he is a better bet for right back he definitely brings the best out of Knockaert and the team just seems better for him playing.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

I agree with the OP.

3 or 4 changes are needed from the the usual starting 11, including both full backs. Not slating Montoya or Bong, I just think that Bruno and Bernardo a re slightly ahead of them.

When I see someone skin Bruno or that he's hiding in a game, he can;t get up and down, or that he's not relishing a physical confrontation, then i'll agree with those that say he's past it. I've never seen any of those things, so to me, he's our first choice right back.

How can someone skin Bruno? He's never in a position to be skinned. He leaves defending out wide to his winger. He normally position next to Duffy.

This is in jest right? Don't get me wrong I love Bruno but you're deluded if you think he should be starting now.

Bong’s second half performance today was embarrassing

Truly awful. He literally did nothing right.

Bong was the only player in that team showing for the ball.
I've only just got home and can't go to bed yet after that performance. Ridiculously over hit balls on a wet pitch were being sent Bong's way because everyone else was hiding. Bong may not be our most skilful player (nice Cruyff turn though) but at least he has the heart for a relegation battle.

 

[Lethargic]

We certainly lack leaders there is currently not one player on the pitch who knows how to get the team to pull their socks up and fight for the cause.

Not a lot of point ‘showing for it’ if when it comes, you trip over it, and let it roll out for a throw in.

 

[Wardy's twin]

Suttner could cross the ball.

Every point when you are trying to get back in the game. In fact I'm glad he bothered because otherwise we would never have crossed the half way line. The lack of movement into space from the rest of the team was criminal.
Look, I would rather have Barnardo. I'm not trying to defend Bong but it just seems odd to single him out when at least he wanted the ball. Today was inept in every department. Ponderous build up play, inability to pass to our own players and very little movement. Bong tried though. I'm glad.

What utter garbage from the OP. None of the goals were down to Montoya and Bruno is not fautless. Poor finishing and an incompetent ref done for us today, that plus the allowing Wood and Barnes to bully our defenders. Terrible game for Dunk.

Yet again, utter garbage. There were a couple of balls slung his way that went off the wet pitch but that's it. He started well and it was a great cross for March who should have done better with his header. After that he was found wanting and the best example of this was when a square ball found Burnley breaking forward and instead of closing the gap, Bong ran to the box. Last ditch tackle left him injured but he should have closed the player down outside of the box. Indecision created the problem but over the game he was not alone there!!

I thought Montoya was poor today , not sure if he is strong enough to be a defender

Nope, Bong made himself available when others didn't.
Not utter garbage. Just my opinion. Try growing up when having a debate.

You're right in only one thing thing in that it is opinion. Bong was found wanting on far too many occasions.

 

[perseus]

A leader and a legend. Better at defending than Montoya and better going forward. Will also play his heart out.

We brought him back for the run in last season and instantly improved. We need him back again; this one is a no brainer.

Agree, all three goals might have been prevented. I have been saying this from the first Watford game.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

I said this today at the game - we are really missing Bruno. Agree totally.

 

[perseus]

Disagree. He reacted far too slowly to their second goal. I'm beginning to think he's right-sided Markus Suttner.

Show Montoya the video of the last minute of the EPL match at Old Trafford last season and watch how Ashley Young got back to prevent the Albion equaliser.

This.

Bong played well yesterday but his crossing yet again lets him down. To say he was embarrassing is utter garbage.

Stephens and Gross need to be binned or dropped way down the pecking order if we stay up. Both to slow for this league.

Where did I blame yesterdays defeat on Montoya ?

Please stop talking garbage

I’ve noticed before he has skill but is easily bullied. Needs to employ Adam el Abd as a personal trainer.
