Yeah tbf every time I’ve watched Palace (granted not that much) he has been pretty fucking good lol
Swap their clubs and timber gets all the selections. I think they always feel a need to pick a player from a lower team in these selections.
That and these are all done right after the cup final where he played pretty well from what I saw.
He is.
Centre backs couldn’t be more wrong though.
He definitely is.
Yep, isn’t better than Bruno G
What does Tonali do better than Bruno G?
Take him outta their midfield and you’ll see how limited Tonali is in comparison
Take Tonali out of Newcastle’s midfield and you’ll see how limited Bruno is in comparison.
Sure
He’s a superior footballer
Tonali ain’t it
Bruno flourishes because of Tonali. The complete opposite of what you’re saying is true.
Nah, he was flourishing before they even signed Tonali
How come all these team estimations always have VVD in them? Almost conspiracy-like, innit?
Head over to any Newcastle forum and look at how they speak about Tonali. They pretty much can’t believe a player of his calibre players for them and many accept him as their best player.
I’ve been religiously following his progress it’s ridiculous how good he is. Bruno suffered in the midfield without him because it restricted his game and forced him to play away from his strengths. Tonali opens that up for him.
He’s a ridiculous player. The best midfielder in the league this season
Yep. It’s a ridiculous myth at this stage the guy can do no wrong even when he isn’t playing well he’s being picked as the best
In his first 18 months Bruno needed two of Willock, Joelinton and Longstaff to babysit him because he was a headless chicken.
We saw Bruno last season looking shit after Tonali’s suspension and as a result Newcastle falling out of Europe.
Tonali came back and Newcastle’s form picked up again.
What does that mean? How do you even quantify this type of thing? Going to some random forum? Is that what you do?
He had a really good season last season and Tonali was nowhere to be seen
He definitely isn’t the best midfielder in the league this season lol, good but not great
Overrated as fuck
That’s literally what Bruno is.
He’s a mess for Brazil too.
You haven’t liked him before he signed so not exactly objective
Because I’m taking the opinion of what I see and the opinion of scores of Newcastle fans who watch him every single week over your (as per usual) awful opinion.
Nobody is speaking on Tonali last season he was banned Mr. Clueless. That’s why he was nowhere to be seen.
It’s like you don’t even watch these guys but you always have an opinion on them. I stopped respecting what you had to say when you completely mis profiled Skriniar before. That’s when I knew you just make shit up.
No shit Sherlock that he wasn’t available, the reason why I mentioned that was in counter to the point made by @GC-Maniac that he is limited without Tonali yet he had a fine season regardless and one of his best in the PL, do you get it now? Or was it not incredibly clear before.
You stop respecting what I say? Cool, nothing has been lost there. You’re the be all and end all and all knowing and seeing for all defenders and Serie A obviously, no one can disagree or have another opinion.
Moaning about Skriniar who left Inter was basically done at the top level, outisde of that element and outside of Serie A flopped in Ligue 1 after a single season and straight to Turkey. I wonder why that is.
Bruno feels like a dirty cunt version of Ramsey to me.
Lot of energy, gets everywhere while not really thriving under any defensive responsibility because he’s busy trying to get up and score. His solution to that is fouling.
Just Aaron never made 100 fouls in a game and certainly wouldn’t have escaped a booking if so.
Tonali is class, I’d take him in a heartbeat.
I’m still shocked that our recruitment efforts passed on both Tonali and Szbozslai…
Perfect Xhaka replacements.
Instead we decided to drop £100m on Havertz and Merino.
Two makeshift midfielders/strikers, neither who are exceptional in either position.
