But how much time can we give him when there's no end product from getting in some great positions. Chances are few and far between at the highest level and we can't really afford him squandering position and possession through poor final balls
After made this post he puts the performance against dortmund. I think he was one of our 3 best players on the pitch and really shown quality. Idk maybe because he had more space. But 90% of the teams will park the bus and we need one there who can break the low blockNo way he is our level, i feel sorry for him but I think that he wanted the spuds transfer says enough about his mentality.
Yes he is young but he gives me nothing where I think he will break out.
His decision making and final ball is terrible, more often than notHe was our top assister last year.
Not a great shooter (yet, at City) but definitely has end product.
Savinho's not great at finishing chances. He's pretty good (to exceptionally good) at everything else and the stats show that.
Don't agree with people booing and shouting at your own player especially if he's half or even a third of your age.
One thing worth noting is that he can barely speak English. That has to be a factor.
He speaks better English than he ever lead on. Didn’t he once admit to watching Coronation Street?Didn’t seem to affect Sergio!
Definitely, will be a factor. He’s having lessons but some people find learning languages difficult.One thing worth noting is that he can barely speak English. That has to be a factor.
I’m not a big fan but looked better today.Thought I’d remark on how well he did his defensive duties when he came on.
Nicked the ball a number of times and always got goal side.

I suspect it's to do with the pace/physicality of the game that's evolved into a confidence thing.At Girona he was a quality finisher he does have that in his locker its just at City we haven't seen it. Or we rarely see it, could be confidence , it just needs to click for him when it finally clicks and the performances like the one against Dortmund become more of a regular thing we will have a player on our hands.
Lot’s of good points. Far too much criticism of players and not enough acceptance that we’re building for a very strong future. The club are investing time and money in players because they recognise they are going to be special.Wish folk would ease off a bit, not just Savinho but anyone who's new to the club (Reijnders is another one who's been coping a bit). How many examples we need of players taking a bit of time to settle, or young players needing a bit of patience.
Just read the last few pages of the post-match thread and there's someone complaining about Savinho coming on for Doku, just factually incorrect. And someone observing that once Savinho came on Gakpo started to get into the game. Gakpo came on after Savinho.
There's fair criticism and there's making your mind up on a player and then focusing on every negative.
Was he really though? Come on.I think some just go with the opinion that City won and therefore everyone was great. Savinho was abysmal when he came on, did nothing but give the ball away. Marmoush was just the same when he came on.
We all want Savinho to produce at a level that justifies us turning down a huge bid for him in the summer but yesterday was not that level.
He wasn’t abysmal, he worked hard and that’s what was required.I think some just go with the opinion that City won and therefore everyone was great. Savinho was abysmal when he came on, did nothing but give the ball away. Marmoush was just the same when he came on.
