Its been Martinez, Casemiro, Rashford and Shaw who have stood up to the plate at different times this season – for me Bruno has been abysmal in far too many games and his moments of brilliance are vastly outweighed by his lazy, careless, profligate and petulant interventions.
Its inevitable that we will sign a centre forward and what with the rise of Garnacho and the return of Diallo, we will see less and less of Sancho, Martial and Antony and hopefully never see them lineup as a front three again – yesterday they and Bruno reeked of freshly disturbed dogshit.
A central midfielder who has legs (unlike Eriksen) and a brain (unlike McFred) is just as important as a centre forward as its clear Casemiro cant carry his midfield colleagues at this age. It would also allow Eriksen to be used as a backup to Bruno until either or both are supplanted.
