Bert Posted 16 April 2011 Posted 16 April 2011 Sven rates Bruma as our best defender, he's said that before in an interview.
Guest Mee-9 Posted 16 April 2011 Posted 16 April 2011 What the **** was he doing for the 2nd? Throw yourself infront the ball you pussy.
Lambert09 Posted 16 April 2011 Posted 16 April 2011 As much as I dont rate Bruma IMO he wasnt the worst player on the pitch today, Wellens had one of the worst games ive seen him play, should of been taken off for Abe at half time. Bamba was piss poor too.. in honesty I only rated Oakley and Gally today.
Ozwin Posted 16 April 2011 Posted 16 April 2011 Well, errr, on the positive side Reading were bloody brilliant weren't they? Yeah, I'll tell you what, if that Kebe doesn't win player of the season then there's no justice Eh? Three cheers for Kebe!
acooling08 Posted 16 April 2011 Posted 16 April 2011 I don't wish any harm on Bruma.. I just wish he'd either **** off, or Sven sees sense and plays Vitor.
Kitchandro Posted 17 April 2011 Posted 17 April 2011 This is too harsh. He's not been terrible Individually; rather he's a symptom of Sven's nonsensical defensive tinkering. All this is distracting from the proper pasting van Aanholt should be getting. He's starting to make McGivern look reliable Agreed. Bruma is obviously not doing a good job for us but he's twice the player Van Aanholt is. That guy needs to go now, if he's at fault for us losing at Forest he'll be in a similar category to Kermorgant.

It's a wonder I've got any bloody hair left!

Babylon Posted 17 April 2011 Posted 17 April 2011 On another note, it's funny how Bamba seems to have avoided all criticism today despite having an absolute 'mare. friends of mine who went said Bruma was better than Bamba today. But Bamba has a nice little song so people won't blame him for anything. Even listening on the radio is was Bamba constantly being mentioned with regards mistakes... Until he went off that is and Stringer decided to try and whip up the phone lines with his overly negative commentary about loan players.
Guest Col city fan Posted 17 April 2011 Posted 17 April 2011 Three cheers for Kebe? We're Leicester! It's a wonder I've got any bloody hair left! and see you..... you're a bloody disgrace!!!
1964FOX Posted 17 April 2011 Posted 17 April 2011 I don't like blaming individuals but I feel Bruma has not done enough in the games he has played. He has made numerous basic mistakes but is clearly not alone in that department. As others have suggested we have a team that has far too many attacking players on the pitch at once making it easy for an average team like reading to effectively use their one attacking player to run at the hole left behind when we attack. Clearly we play much better when Vitor, Mee and Abe play bringing a much better balance to the team. I would put good money on the fact we would have come away with a much better result if Vitor had started yesterday, as soon as he came on our defence looked much more solid. Clearly we need to learn these lessons for next season and establish a more balanced regular team.

I've not seen much of Bruma so I can't make too much of a judgement on him but from what I have seen he's not been worse than Bamba. I don't know how much of it is Bruma's performances in other matches/his record of us losing when he plays/people jumping to quick judgements/their unconditional love for Bamba. Before I have a queue of people jumping on my back, I'm not bumming him, it's just yesterday he was better than Bamba.
iBleedLeicesterColours Posted 17 April 2011 Posted 17 April 2011 3 words can sum up Bruma. NOT GOOD ENOUGH
Dames Posted 17 April 2011 Posted 17 April 2011 If its true about what they say about the more he plays the less we have to pay then the lad is comfortable in the fact that whatever he does he knows he's going to get picked. Its not that he's shit, its just he knows no matter what he's going to get picked so he's taken his foot off the pedal a bit and you can tell, he's playing like a player that thinks he's immortal.

I don't agree it's all Bruma's fault or all the loan players fault but the bottom line is Bruma and Van Aanholt haven't been good enough, and since the both of them have come in our form and performances have been getting worse. They are getting all the stick for a reason.

They are getting all the stick for a reason. Because people are scape-goating them for daring to replace those gods of the pearson era: Hobbs and Berner? Like Ricardo, because a large percentage of our fans are incapable of moving on, they were going to get abuse no matter what, people had already made their minds up about them before seeing them play.
Samilktray Posted 17 April 2011 Posted 17 April 2011 if I got close to Sven, I'd probably be playing week in week out too.

Like Ricardo, because a large percentage of our fans are incapable of moving on, they were going to get abuse no matter what, people had already made their minds up about them before seeing them play. I knew Ricardo was rubbish before he signed, yes. And has he not been? Yes, he has. Nobody's saying Weale is a top class goalkeeper, just that he's better than that muppet. Of course it's irrelevant how good Weale is, because the point is, Ricardo isn't good enough. And he should never, ever have started that Derby game. Hobbs and Berner were top performers for us last season. Who have they been replaced by? Bruma and Van Aanholt, as well as other failures. No wonder people miss them. It's not about moving on, it's about being good. Why wouldn't fans want to be as good as we were last season? Some fans are so obsessed with moving on, that they won't admit when the grass isn't greener on the other side. There is a reason we are not in the play-offs, and it's not all because of Sousa.

And we weren't good last season, we were running on momentum from promotion from L1, just like narwich and leeds this season. Oh please. Lets not crack out that gem again So Norwich and Leeds aren't better than us then? They just have momentum? Their results this season have not been down to their own hard work, talented players, team spirit etc? That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard, I'm afraid. They have good managers and good players, as well as backing from good fanbases (as we have) If you don't believe me, try watching them. All this is proving my point: Everyone just wants to make excuses for Sven. Nobody wants to pay attention to the fact that Sven has been in Charge since the start of October, that he's the manager, he's in charge and he's made decisions. I don't know why I'm surprised, everyone was doing the same with Sousa.

Berner was awful at the start of the season. He looked like he was completely passed it so yes on that basis he was replaced. He had a resurgence mid-season and i believe it was wrong to replace him but after the start of the season you have to wonder, how long would it be before he started looking sluggish again? It was probably right to replace him its just a shame that his replacement hasn't really worked out. Hobbs was another who looked like he wasn't with it this season. He was still suffering from a hangover from Pearson leaving and adapting to a new style of play (The lad struggles to pass further than 15 yards on the deck) hopefully he gets a little confidence back from working with Pearson and he has the whole pre season to work on that passing of his. It can be argued over and over again but the reason we are not in the play offs isn't just because of two managers. Its down to quite a few factors. I'm just happy with the fact that we have a good manager with a lot of contacts. Next season is looking good if he can learn from the mistakes he's made this season.

I don't believe keeping Berner was a long term solution. He is getting a bit past it. However, his replacements were worse. At least Berner had a good game 50% of the time (once he'd got fit and was picked again). I'd rather have him in than Cunningham and Van Aanholt. Yes both those 2 have pace, but they are supposed to be defenders, and neither an defend. Like I said, it's not change I have a problem with, but if you are going to change things, you have to justify it with the repalcements being better. As it happens, as well as a lot of replacements not being good enough, the amount of changes this season has led to a lack of team spirit. I do want Sven here next season of course, but that doesn't mean I have to make excuses for him.
