Why? Is it an English thing?And would still get more minutes than Kalvin.
Rename him Kavlin Nunes?
He is going to turn it around. Only needs a chance.

Behave, it's obvious Pep doesn't rate him, he's never started a game of any importance. Before he started at Brentford which was a dead rubber he averaged 3 minutes a game in the PL for us, it's embarrassing.Why? Is it an English thing?

It looks like Kalvin has put his neck on the line by staying and fighting for his place, and I can't help but respect it.
But if he barely plays this season and his England career suffers he has to take the blame for choosing to stay. It's all on his shoulders. I genuinely wish him the best of luck - if he turns his City career around it's good news for all of us.
I don’t know about embarrassing but until he leaves city, I will give him my full support. His confidence is shot. Hopefully build it up this season. We have a decent size squad and don’t need to be pushing him away unless he causes problems. I would prefer to let him have this season and see if he can make a go of it. Very least if he plays well, the club get their money back.Behave, it's obvious Pep doesn't rate him, he's never started a game of any importance.

Would you have started him ? If not when would you have brought him on ? 75 minutes at 0-1, or 85 minutes at 1-1, or 89 minutes at 1-2 ?I can't figure this one out at all. He's clearly not a bad player, he's shown enough at Leeds and for England to suggest he can play quite a bit. I just think that if you can't get a game at Sheff United away then when will he? I'm not saying Rodri needs a rest, but he can't be expected to play every single game.
Nunes could flop also it’s never a guarantee.. he needs a few run of games imo. But I like his determination. We wanted to get rid of zinchenko one season he didn’t want to go and became massive for us.He will get less minutes after the arrival of Kovacic
Imagine how many minutes will het get if Nunes end up at the club
I've nothing against the lad, but if Pep doesn't rate him to play I'll trust Pep. The 3 player's you mentioned, Pep trusted all of them, and unlike Kalvin they all played regularly, and got loads of minutes. There's something not right about this imo, never seen a big money signing frozen out like this before under Pep.I don’t know about embarrassing but until he leaves city, I will give him my full support.

Rodri and Gundo got terrible abuse as did sterling. The former two have turned out to be some of the clubs best signings.
Ibrahimovic?I've nothing against the lad, but if Pep doesn't rate him to play I'll trust Pep.

He would have added nothing v Sheffield United. That was a game for attacking players.I can't figure this one out at all.

I hope Phillips steps up, but in all honesty I can't see him playing for City. There's more to it than meets the eye and it's more than just football. If he's not playing regularly by Christmas then he needs to go in January, full stop.
