🚨🚨🎙️ Alan Shearer SLAMS Bruno Fernandes matching the Premier League assist record: “The intensity of the league is weaker now than it was in the Henry and Kevin eras.” “Fair play to Bruno Fernandes because twenty assists in the Premier League is not easy, but I still think people are getting carried away comparing every era like they’re exactly the same. When Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne were putting up those numbers, the league felt far more intense to me. Back then you had defenders flying into tackles, midfielders constantly on top of you, and creative players barely had a second to breathe. Now the game is more open, more tactical, and honestly attackers get protected a lot more. Bruno is a fantastic player, nobody is denying that, but the conditions are different. And let’s be honest, everything at Manchester United goes through him. Every attack, every transition, every set piece. Naturally your numbers are going to explode when the entire system is built around you touching the ball all the time. For me, when Henry and De Bruyne did it, there was this control and dominance to their teams. Arsenal and City were overwhelming sides playing incredible football week after week. With Bruno, sometimes it feels more chaotic, more moments than complete control. So yes, respect the achievement, absolutely. But matching the number doesn’t automatically mean it carries the exact same weight across different eras.”
