14 | Nico Gonzalez - 2024/25

[IrishBlueSince92]

He's already contributed more than Phillips did in his entire time here.

For sure

Just a worry, I always recall when Pep was asked about KP he used to say he’s a fantastic man and his family should be proud or something along those lines.
Hopefully isn’t a sign that he doesn’t rate a player

 

[Blue Abroad]

When Pep was asked about Nico after the match he started the answer by saying - he is a fantastic guy

Worrying thing was he used to always say that about Kalvin Phillips

Are you genuinely saying you think Pep considers Nico on the same level as Phillips?

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Needs to start at Fulham with Kovacic out.

 

[skillman]

There he is!

 

[IrishBlueSince92]

I’m slightly worried that he started his answer by saying the same thing he used to start his answers on Phillips on, talking about his personality instead of his footballing ability

It’s maybe and hopefully nothing

 

[ninjamonkey]

Will understandbly get overshadowed by marmoush's goal but that was a beautiful goal in itself.

 

[richards30]

Nico, Rodri and Reijnders would be a hell of a trio. As many know, I was desperate for Nico to come here and was ecstatic when we signed him! Pep just hasn’t used him enough, simple as that.

 

[Blue_Lightsaber]

Rodri-Nico starters next season and we can turn the page on whatever we called a "midfield" this season

The no midfield season!

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

Top goal. And pattes the badge in his celebration. He's a great kid - no idea how it will pan out for him yet with Kova getting the nod ahead of him and Rodri back but seems to have a great attitude so should be handy in the squad. It just very much remains to be seen how big a role he will play yet. Early days but showed quality with that goal

 

[It'sBlue93:20]

Think he’s more than good enough. He could replace Gundo I reckon and cover the #6 and #8.

 

[Clembo]

Don't think we need to really look too much into how much he's played over the last month or so, players have always taken time to settle into this team and all of the Jan signings were made while we were in a really bad situation.

Nico like the others came in and has played a decent amount of football during that time to try and steady the ship allowing for the Unc's to come back in and close out the season.

Great finish tonight too.

Great goal and not his first either . He should have been playing more aswell .

We haven’t really closed the session. Though . We got beat in the cup final and scored a last minute goal against Villa and our subs saved us against Everton . These young players have got hunger and that’s what we need . Should have been playing more

 

[Fordyboy46]

It really does make you wonder why he's not been given a chance when he can score a goal like that. Has to start against Fulham now Kov is suspended

 

[bondsman]

I thought he was great last night. Straight up to speed of the game. Didn’t give the ball away and drove forward every opportunity. His goal was better than Marmoush’s imho

He was excellent when he came on

I'm all for the positivity but in no world was it a better goal :-)

When he scores, he looks like Charlie Bucket on finding the Golden Ticket. Something infectious about that kind of happiness.

IMHO he's going to be some player for us when he gets in full flow.

That really is the key thing for all our players. Everyone is being thrown under the bus this season, yet precious few have ever gotten into full flow. Think there will be a few points proven next season and we’ll all be eating humble pie, self included.
