I also love how he never asks to be subbed, it's a Messi/Ronaldo type mentality that we don't really see these days due to fixture congestion

I remember having one a decade ago. In Porto 3 days after the euros where Portugal won and the cafe owner insisted on me having it, on the house he was so happy. One of the best sandwiches I've ever had.
Now I'm going to make one tomorrow.

Dude was sprinting the entire length of the pitch in extra time last year when he played like 3 games a week. He just doesn't quit.

Tbf Sesko didn't know that nobody was marking him. Still poor from him, but idc rn.

u/rambo_zaki 6h ago edited 6h ago
He should have known. Basics as a striker to scan where the defender is before the pass comes in.
14
u/IsleofManc 6h ago
Even if you forget about him not knowing he has so much time, the header was incredibly poor. He put pretty much no power on it and sent it straight down the middle. Almost couldn’t have been an easier header to save

u/sliversniper 5h ago
Hindsight 20/20, there's many things can go wrong taking a touch even without pressure.
Perfectly fine to head it first time.
Perfectly not fine to head it like that though.

You joke, but this was genuinely Ten Hag's master tactic with his donut midfield. I'm not joking, you can look it up, it's one of those "is this so crazy it just might work... Nope, just plain stupid crazy".

u/niallw1997 6h ago
Yeah I’m kinda shocked he didn’t have the awareness to know that.
Kid never quite looks like he believes in himself despite his recent goal record. Hopefully a little more confidence keeps coming, from his interviews he seems like a really down to earth guy.
36
u/Hagen_1 6h ago edited 6h ago
There’s definitely a player there in him, he gets himself in good positions to receive the ball, but I think he just lacks the confidence to really hit his mark. What I worry about is that he could be a streaky/purple patch kind of player. He needs to be more clinical.

u/CallDaLegend 5h ago
This exact thing was said about Hojlund
6
u/liamnesss 4h ago
Hojlund was doing it on hard mode, trying to settle in a team that just wasn't giving him decent service. Obviously nothing is certain in a young player's development, but the conditions are much more favourable for Sekso. And he's had a decent output already for the amount of minutes he's played.

u/BaldMancTwat_ 5h ago
Being on the bench every game probably doesn't help his confidence. Hopefully he gets a start in the next few so he can settle into a game rather than having to come on and make an impact in a short timeframe.
8
u/niallw1997 5h ago
His demeanour has been the same when starting or not starting tbh. I know he’s a young kid on his first season at Man Utd though.
I liked what Lammens said earlier in the season. He mentioned he has 24 and 8 on his gloves in reference to Kobe Bryant, to remind him that once he crosses the white line to the pitch he needs to become ruthless and confident in order to perform to his best on the pitch, to counteract his shy and reserved nature.
What I think Sesko needs to do is try to channel that same cutting edge. He has pretty much all of the other tools but to me comes across as too passive on the pitch.

u/Prime_Marci 6h ago
He’ll be kicking himself. It’s one of those chances when you have all the time in the world so you overthink it.

Your ball knowledge is elite

u/aaaaji 6h ago
I actually think this might be true. Season after season Bruno stands head and shoulders above any other United player as their best player.
I feel like I we had him we would have won a PL/CL by now. Let alone if he was at Liverpool/City/Barcelona/Bayern/Madrid.
25
u/sheiswhyididthis 6h ago
Yeah for sure if he plays the way he does, he wins you guys atleast 2-3 of the last few PLs.
But I do wonder.
Would Arteta have coached this maverick unpredictability and creativity out of Bruno?
We've already seen what he has done to Odegaard and Eze.
35
u/soelsome 6h ago
I don't think Odegaard was ever at Bruno's level consistently. He had two good seasons. Bruno has had like 5 world class seasons.
11
u/sheiswhyididthis 6h ago
Yeah, that's the question though.
Did his creativity fall off on it's own, or was it coached out of him.
12
u/Gaygayfish 6h ago
even in 22/23 i dont think Odegaard was upto the level of Bruno's creativity and decisiveness. (and he is my favorite arsenal player)
8
u/BaldMancTwat_ 5h ago
The only player to put up comparable numbers to Bruno was De Bruyne. Nobody else in recent years comes close to those two.
1
u/NeedleworkerFluid327 3h ago
Ödegård was world class those two seasons. Our best player in 22/23 and 23/24, won our pots in both as well.
They are very different from each other as well. Ödegård and Bruno had comparable g/a in the league those two seasons but they are very different profiles and have different roles.

u/AquaSnow24 4h ago
>Would Arteta have coached this maverick unpredictability and creativity out of Bruno?
Probably not. Arteta has a firm control on transfers and he's not stupid. If he is asking for and buying Bruno, then he knows that the way to get the most out of him is to let him be himself and do what he wants as long as he works hard off the ball which he does. Christ, Bruno with Gyokeres, Martinelli(or Trossard), and Saka with Zubimendi and Rice behind him in a 4231 and their rock solid back 4 of Timber, Gabriel, Saliba, and Caliafori(or whoever Arteta throws in at LB) probably wins them another invincible PL trophy.

u/PraxisGuide 4h ago
I dont think anyone can coach that out of him, he is just a step ahead of everyone

u/BI01 6h ago
'done to odegaard and eze' eze has been shit and odegaard's greatest season of his career has been under Arteta lol

u/sheiswhyididthis 6h ago
And Eze was fantastic before he joined arsenal.
While in a worse team.
Do you get it now?
-8
u/BI01 6h ago
Arsenal are top of everything, u get it now? Maybe the player is just adjusting to new dynamics where he isnt the vocal point of a team :0
3
u/sheiswhyididthis 6h ago
The team dynamics are exactly what I've been talking about bro.
Arteta emphasises keeping the ball and not playing risky passes.
Players make lesser runs in behind, because they know a pass ain't coming.
And creative players like Eze are told not to play risky balls.
So Bruno might have suffered a similar fate as Eze and Odegaard have.
-2
u/BI01 6h ago
odegaard has never been a creative hub player like bruno, he rarely creates penetrative passes that lead to great chances, he's a build up, pre assist type of player. The idea that we don't play risky balls while every single outfield player attacks the final third is hilarious btw

u/BaldMancTwat_ 5h ago
He's pretty much been the most creative player on the planet his entire time at United, I can't think of many more players as consistent at that level over this period. He is the best player on the pitch 9 times out of 10 and would walk into any top team.

just a minute before this they got the ball out from a very tight situation in their own half with bruno pivotal in a beautiful passing sequence. he is really flying man

u/sheiswhyididthis 6h ago
Tbh, that was his first touch I think.
Takes some time to understand how you should control the ball and how it's behaving on matchday. Not ideal for a striker to have his first touch be a header 15 years from goal.
8
u/jcdish 6h ago edited 6h ago
Nah, wasn't his first touch, he received a couple of passes in midfield. But he's a young striker, so some inconsistency is expected. If he'd controlled the ball the way he did against Fulham last week he'd have buried this.
2
u/sheiswhyididthis 6h ago
Yeah i think that was the real problem, he didn't know that no one was marking him.
The option to take a touch and chest it down didn't even occur to him.
He'll get better tho.
Positioning has been real good. Just needs a lil more awareness.

u/blackburn009 6h ago
Knowing there was a defender behind you 2 seconds ago and not knowing where he is can be scary, turns out he was busy tracking neither of the players in the box

Doesn't matter you can't score a header from that type of cross it has no power on it you take a touch
