A disastrous day for Bruno Fernandes (£ 9.0 million) Owners – not to mention anyone associated with Manchester United – saw the Portuguese midfielder miss a penalty, blank, pick up a booking and finish one ‘Cbirt’In short, defensive contribution (Defcon) points bank consolation.
Here is our first reconnaissance article of Gameweek 6 of the Gtech.
Bruno’s penal record
Fernandes’ tame effort from the place was his second penalty Miss of 2025/26. And, as the post below indicates, his sixth since its United debut:
A record of 23/29, or 79.3%, is approximately par, given that a penalty carries an XG of 0.7883.
But with the short-term shape of the location fragmentary, there is a discussion that United has other proven penalty customers Matheus Cunha (£ 8.0 million) and Bryan Mbeumo (£ 8.1 million) – on the books.
Annoying, Ruben Amorim’s Post-Match Interviews with the BBC, TNT and MUTV did not succeed in raising questions about Bruno’s record from 12 yards. Not his press conference either.
After his last miss from the place, against Fulham in Gameweek 2, Fernandes got the chance to take the next penalty from United. He scored that, where Amorim said he said ‘Not expected that Bruno would miss two penalties in a row. “
There is mitigation for his two misses this season. Referee Chris Kavanagh bumped into him, pre-kick, in Craven Cottage. This time there was a long delay due to VAR checks and Brentford that made replacements. Every future opposition will definitely try to rattle him again in a similar way, of course …
Mbeumo has also missed his last two penalties: his very last Spot-Kick for Brentford and in the EFL Cup shootout versus Grimsby Town.
Let’s hope that Amorim gives some clarity about the fine order pre-game week 7. A Bruno without pens may not be a Bruno that is worth the property: three of his four big chances, and 2.37 of his 3.54 xg, have come from the place this season.
Sesko’s first united goal
There was some positivity pre-kick-off when Amorim could mention his new look, Big-Money Front Three in a starting XI for the first time. The excitement quickly evaporated because United was 2-0 after 20 minutes.
Benjamin Sesko (£ 7.3 million) came at least the goal on Saturday, reducing the overdue arrears to 2-1.
Although Mbeumo had no shot, Cunha’s four efforts all came from distance, and the only attempt by Fernandes came from the place, Sesko registered six shots.
However, a context is needed with its figures. His three big chances all came in the same movement, with Keelher Keelher (£ 4.5 million) Saving the first two attempts by the Slovenian striker before Sesko hit the third.
Those three quick -fire efforts and Bruno’s punishment were good for all the great opportunities of United, and in reality they created very little else.
A Sunderland side that has only admitted four goals in six games, in which three clean sheets are held in the process, will undoubtedly try to frustrate their hosts in Gameweek 7.
Still no clean sheets
It has also disappeared on the other side Pete Tong. United is one of the four games that will hold a clean slate (CS, below) this season, while Burnley has only admitted more great opportunities.
The naivety of the United setup on Saturday was alarming. Although he knew that Brentford would try to go quickly for a long time, they let the bees do exactly that for their first two goals. They had no convincing answer to the set of the West -Londers, also another power of them.
Without involvement still Ultimately admitted goals in a predictable way.
Wedded with the 3-4-2-1, you can’t see change quickly.
“It is always the same, if we win it is not the system, if you lose the system. I think it is more that we play this game like Brentford wants to play this game. We kick the balls, second balls, and we never arranged in our game. We never had no control over the game.
“The frustration is that we worked the goals today, we worked on that during the week. That is frustrating.” – Ruben Amorim
Thiagoals
For a player who does not yet have to convince his own supporters, Igor Thiago (£ 6.0 million) It is not doing well.
His brace on Saturday brought him to four goals for the season, a count that alone Erling (£ 14.4 million) better under FPL -Easters:
He also scored those four goals of very little. One of the Bottom 10 Forward For minutes per shot (49.4) he also scored all four of his great opportunities.
Keith Andrews emphasized his all-round contribution (not something that FPL managers necessarily want to hear) after the game.
“Incredibly, I think, would be the first thing that jumps up in you. Always puts the team in first place, sometimes at the expense of his own performance. I think he is such a team player. He now really gets rhythm in his game and trust in his game, and he has shown exactly what he brought about and why the football club brought him here.” – Keith Andrews on Igor Thiago
Back to a back of four when £ 4.0 million Hickey starts
The bees returned to a 4-3-3 for this match, after they had fallen with a 3-5-2 in recent weeks. That allowed Damino Ouattara (£ 6.0 million) to return to the wing.
It was a confident display of the bees and a well -deserved victory, with Dango turning off a very good chance and the two center halves, Sepp van de Berg (£ 4.5 million) and Nathan Collins (£ 5.0 million), close to headers.
Collins, of course, was more than lucky to survive a red card…
The £ 4.0 million defender Klaxon sounded like Aaron Hickey (£ 4.0 million) got its first start of the competition in almost two years. He also did very well against Mbeumo.
One for the watchmen, but, given the competition at Full-Back and the upcoming competitions (below), also very much the backbuari.
