Bruno Guimaraes: Brash, entertaining and a supreme talent
New York TimesBruno Guimaraes does not do understated introductions. Guimaraes starts in Joelinton’s usual role as the left-sided “No 8” in a 4-3-3, with Shelvey sitting and Willock to the right. 15th minute: The “Bruno” chants erupt again as Guimaraes controls a lobbed pass from Matt Targett on his chest, before flicking the ball over Stuart Armstrong and spreading play. “Bruno’s a No 6,” Howe said, “but he’s a creative No 6.” As well as making one tackle, clearance and interception apiece, Guimaraes has been dispossessed three times, the most on the pitch. “Bruno’s fucking magic, he wears a magic hat, he could have signed for Arsenal, but he said, ‘No, fuck that.’ He wants to play for Eddie in the famous black and white, and when we win the Premier League we’ll sing this song all night…” 56th minute: Newcastle repeat the same corner routine, as Burn tries to nod a Targett delivery into the area.
