14 | Nico Gonzalez - 2025/26

I’m pissed hit he impressed me today. Apart from the daft fouls he gives away he’s a good player

What a strange comment from a fan....

 

[Paulmcfc2703]

Very good today. Broke up play and got us up the field a few times in the second half to ease the pressure.

 

[alexmcity]

He is getting better. At this rate, he will be a top player for us in the 2nd half of the season.

100%. He’s not Rodders but no one is, similar to the Eddie/Donna argument

But 100% and Premier League/Champions League player

He's a solid player but he just can't play the passes to break the lines, I'm not asking him to be as good as Rodri because no one is but he should improve that aspect of his game, hopefully with more minutes he will.

For 50 million, he is very limited. He is neither a destroyer nor a metronomic like Rodri

Rodri wasn’t metronomic for 18 months or so. I’d say Nico is in a better place now than what Rodri was in his first 10 months.

Poor today after showing improvement recently-personally like many of them, he looked tired.

 

[freshie]

He’s a duel monster

Yeah people forget that Rodri was left out of the CL final on form and nobody much complained at the time

Leaving Rodri and Ferma out was criminal no ifs and buts.

Watching a different game to me. Thought he gave a decent account of himself, particularly in carrying the ball away from potential danger

 

[stan bowles]

For me, he's the absolute definition of a steady Eddie. Nothing he's shown since he's arrived screams at you that he's a high level player. Don't expect many wow moments from him. A solid, unspectacular, limited player. Sometimes, you need more to compete for titles than he offers.

Rodri was called "Plodri" for at a least good year by some.

He only committed one foul today.

I’ve been impressed by him recently -just thought he looked sluggish to react and slow on the ball on occasions-I do believe there’s a good player there though.

 

[Blue Hefner]

He only committed one foul today.

Oh, right. Fair dos then
I like him - I think he should play more. He looks fitter than he did last season and I’ve no interest in seeing Kovecic on the pitch. Those days are gone as far as I’m concerned

Kovacic could be useful as a Reijnders understudy. He keeps the ball so well. Hopefully his number 6 days are behind him though!

Gonzalez will become pivotal to us over the next 18 months or so.

You are pissed that he impressed you

I am normally glad when our players impress me
