Never makes the right decision. Dribbles when he should pass. Passes when he should dribble. Looks stupid and is.
 
For all the instant footy experts - just add water CLOWNS that love to criticize him.. just consider this..

did you like the 60 minutes we had with him or the 30 minutes we had without him where we couldn't even hold onto the ball and were under siege.

Was awesome today on the left. He gives so much positivity with his runs and work rate and spreads the game out!

Still needs a bit of fine tuning, but good game! 7/10 easily!
 
That's where I want to see him, not in the middle. Didn't really go for him today but yhe same can be said for many others. He can be an asset there for us.
 
First time he's played there for us and it was respectable.

Obviously not perfect, but Doku who came on didn't do any better (probably worse tbh).

He could probably be a good option on the RW as well.

I think he is pretty fast though, so would have liked to see a tactic with him running behind and us trying to find him a little more.

Thought he was fine today and we were better when he was on the pitch. He has very strange ears.

LOL!

His mouth, too! Does he wear a mouth guard?

That said, I like him and think his position is LAM or RAM, but in this team you have to be able to play anywhere!!
 
He’s a bit of an enigma in that he’s clearly a good player, with a good touch, good control and pace with a good engine.

But hard to see where we fit him in the team, we have more important players in midfield, and whilst he did decent on the left today he isn’t a winger.

Saw someone else mention it but wouldn’t be averse to seeing how he’d do at right back. Just needs to be braver in the challenge for that to work out though.
 
One of his best games in blue. Hopefully gets some confidence from it and kicks on. Might never be a star player putting up big numbers but potential to be a very good versatile squad player.

One of our better players and didnt deserve to be hooked against Bournemouth ,Bernie was having a mare and would have liked Grealish brought on for Bernie with Nunes back in the middle , looking more like a Pep/City player every game he plays , now he needs to do it in a big game.

Yeah I think Pep will have noticed that. He's stubborn but he absolutely hates losing control and we lost control of the game after he came off. Further compounded by taking Haaland off but he tried fixing it by putting KDB on which meant even lesser control.

I think Nunes is squarely in the *control* corner with Grealish and Doku/ Julian might be on the other end with their chaos. I like them both but the balance wasn't right after Nunes was hooked!

Felt for him when he was hooked as quite a few deserved it more and he was having one of his best games for us.
Not good man management IMO

Certainly when Doku came on we lost control for the last 15/20 minutes , Nunes keeps the ball and takes us up the pitch whilst Doku has been profligate in possession , surprised he brought Doku on before both Bobb & Grealish who are far better at ball retention, which we lacked in the 2nd half.
 
Nunes was MUCH better working defensively on our left side.
When Doku came in, there was pure chaos, Aké was exposed and Bournemouth knew exactly what to do...

Nunes has so much as a footballer, but he doesn't have the courage to " be himself", and give it a go.
Confidence topic. Someone has to talk him up.

I liked his performance, but he could have been much better. Release your handbrake, son!
