He's already better than a few full backs we've had.. namely Sergio Gomez and Mendy. We spent 50 odd mil on Mendy and got what 1/2 a season out of him??

Is he Walker or Zaba good?? obviously not but 14 G+A means he's at least on par if not better than Zinny with his production.

And I say that as someone who realizes he should have passed to Erling for the 1st goal but those things happen so fast.. I can't fault him for trying to chip the keeper. That's the difference between Nunes and KDB.. KDB would make the correct decision.

That's what Nunes has to improve besides his occasion mistakes. If he can do that we have some player on our hands!

His passing and concentration levels are very poor.

He wouldn't be a regular starter if that were true.

Nunes has been one of our top 5 players in the period in which we have won more points than any other team in the league, namely since January.

When he first got in the team I had my heart in my mouth, then moved on to thinking he was just OK but starting to be really impressed with him at times, like a bit of a difference maker. Good effort from Matheus!

Sorry Alex City have done that despite having him as fullback. We need a right back.

We won 100 pts despite Delph not being a proper LB, and many trophies despite Zinchenko not being a LB either. Arsenal needed time to get it.

I'm not saying we shouldn't sign a better RB. I'm just saying Nunes has been generally good in that new for him role. I think he's a better player than Zinch, as he has the physical attributes to be a FB and contributes more in attack.

I used to think that but I think you must change your opinion based on recent performances. He's starting to grow into the role at right back.

Hes not a footballer. Misplaced passes putting us under pressure/conceding is running at one a match.
See him just dribble it out of play yesterday under no pressure

Hes on, decent squad member. Thats it

What he isnt is a top class footballer in any position and shouldn't be starting big games

Delph was a better passer of the ball than Nunes and Nunes doesn't keep the ball better than Zinch. We will have to agree to disagree.

Nunes has probably more assists to Haaland than Kevin this season. He's not as good in terms of short passing as Delph and Zinch, but even Kevin isn't great in such terms.

Kevin is considered one of the best passers of the ball and he's great mostly in the final 3rd. In terms of passing in the middle of the park or in our own half Kevin isn't half the player Gundo or especially Rodri is. Yet nobody would say Rodri is a better passer of the ball.

Alex, you win as I can't be arsed to reply.
 
Nunes can become a very good right back for us is my unpopular opinion.

Short passing and coming into midfield aren’t as important if he’s there to play as a wingback.

He’s a good crosser and dribbler, he’s strong, has an engine and he’s pretty quick.
 
Think he'll be alright. Don't think he'll last long if we bring Livramento in.

Not sure what's gonna happen with Lewis either but doubt Nunes will be first choice RB for long.
 
Wanted by Forest as part of the MGW deal, if only we could get Jack/Tino in a similar deal. Job done.
