Watching Kevin De Bruyne's majestic display this afternoon I just can't help but laugh when I remembered there was a time Bruno Fernandes was mentioned in the same breath as him. De Bruyne is different. He sees chances before anyone else does. He doesn't drop like a sack of potato just to win free kicks around opposition area. The fact that he's been absolutely wonderful since his days at Wolfsburg till now shows how consistent he is as a midfielder. And yes, Bruno Fernandes will never get to his level.

So you are literally just posting this to call out on Bruno?
Is Bruno guilty of falling at the slightest touch and pleading for cheap free kicks? It's actually more of a dig at those who believes Bruno is on the same level as De Bruyne.
Then you should just tell the defenders to stop being cheeky and touching him in the 18yard box, besides I suppose those official referees aren't blind to give a penalty when it's not worth one.
Maybe Bruno will create more dangerous situations for opponents if he stays on his feet and stop hitting the deck and cursing like a kid with anger issues. He has the talent of a world class player but complains way too much.
Yeah, he's hungry Ronaldo complains too... Those sort of players are rate gens, they know what the game means.
Shouting like a mad man, complaining about every decision and insulting the officials during a match doesn't translate to passion, it translates to insolence and stupidity
If he insults officials during the match he'd be banned or given a straight red, he has so far I know done that. Stop saying what you don't know. When Douglas costa of Atletico insulted a ref in a match he good a straight red and a fine against Barcelona
Insults have severity. It can be mild and overlooked, it can be moderate and the player gets a yellow card, and it can be severe which leads to a red card and a ban. Fernandes already got booked at least once for talking too much this season. So, you are the one who doesn't know Fernandes or just too sentimental to admit he has his flaws. By the way, the Douglas Costa I know never played for Atletico.

Yeah, if so everyone insults a referee in a match if that's it
Referees are always insulted in a match. Part of their training is to block it out so that it doesn't influence their judgement. A player looking at a referee and yelling, "do you have to wait till they break my leg?" just insulted the referee. It's up to the referee to determine the severity of the insult. Angel Di Maria tapped a referee's shoulder while he was at Man U. He was shown a straight red card for that. Another referee may overlook it completely. I have no problem with Fernandes. He is a leader at Man U. At this time when the team is struggling he should be doing his best to get the team together, not chasing after the referee with complaints at all times.
He only does that when the ref is wrong to him. I mean everyone got their own opinion and Angel di Maria tapped hard
