Cheers for all your hard work Bruno, if just SOME of your teammates were as hard working as you we would have romped this league in.

I have a Victory Supporter work colleague who says most of Fornaroli's goals are from penalties this season. I quickly reminded him out of 18 goals Besart scored last season 9 were penalties.

He's right though, Bruno has taken a lot more penalties this season and he'd have 2 more of he'd scored both against Perth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no I'm def not thinking of the one v Wellington in the FFA Cup EDIT. He took one v Wellington in Round 21 which was saved, however he knocked in the rebound. I guess technically not a pen, but semantics for the purposes of the argument. Edited March 3, 2017 by bt50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 (edited) I see some criticism of Bruno on his play this season. IMO it was always probable that he would not score so prolifically this year, but nevertheless he still has 18 goals (9 penalties) in all competitions this season. Also if you look closely at last season his first touch has never been consistently great, and as for pace he will be 30 in September this year and we have to expect some drop off in pace at his age. If we also take into account the other factors that have already been discussed (captaincy, Cahill) IMO he's still a top player for us. Next season we're going to have to work out how to use him to more advantage than we have done in 2016/17.

He is missing a lot of service and its pretty common for foreigners to have a second season slump so if the Niko Martine reports are true and we get a half decent manager along with apparently Galekovic, next season is starting to look very good already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heart_fan10 Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 For me it's not that Bruno has gotten any worse it's that the players around him this season are rubbish. Our playing style has gone to shit if a good coach is appointed and we sign a proper #10 he'll be back to how he was last season 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post GreenSeater Posted March 9, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 People can say he's having a bad season as much as they want, but the reality is that so far this season he has 15 goals. Only one player has ever scored that many goals for Heart/City in a season before, and that's Bruno himself last year. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadset gun. Out of interest, if we had signed him and he performed last season the way he had this season (so we hadn't seen him last season) would you rate him?

belaguttman Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 He's had a bad season with respect to our expectations for him this season but really, if he left City would there be any team in the League that wasn't in the queue to sign him based on this year's performance?

Jovan Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 40 goals from 50 games is phenomenal. And not using that term lightly. Alot of factors have changed from last season but to be on 15 from 22 (i think) is pretty much still unprecedented. So anyone that suggests he is having a bad or poor season needs to give their head a bit of shake. The problem for Bruno this season is that last season he was so amazing and this season he isn't exactly the same. For me if a striker can score a goal every 2 or 3 games he is doing his job. If a striker can score a goal every second game then he is a valuable player and if a striker can score a goal every 1 and half games or better he is truly elite. Bruno is the best player this club has had (including Mooy) and pushing best in ALEAGUE history. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) Add in the Cup and it's 46 goals from 58 senior appearances. But Bruno is not only a gun striker, he's a true workhorse, never stops running and gives everything for the shirt and for the fans.

jw1739 Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 Much as I am a fan of Bruno, I think it's time we started to mix it up with penalties. I know as captain he's standing up and taking the responsibility, but I think there are occasions where he's becoming predictable. In hindsight I'd like to have seen Colazo take more - genuine left-footer. Certainly next season IMO we should have more options available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Embee Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Anyone else should be taking them at this point IMO. If my count is right, he's taken 13 since he arrived here and missed 5, that's a terrible record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n i k o Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 It was evident last season but he's not great when he has too much time to think on the ball, penalties included. Think about most of his goals, they're all in the moment and it's instinct. Regardless still an awesome player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
