26 | Savinho - 2025/26

2 good cameos from him in a row now which is good. He clearly is better on the counter as opposed to sitting in front of a low block, but so was Doku to begin with as well.

Id worry about him starting a lot if Doku is injured for a while.
 
The impact sub role is his ticket back into everyone's good favours - his pace will be good when teams tire.

At the moment Cherki, Foden and Haaland are our best forwards and hopefully Jeremy is not injured for long to return as the fearsome four..
 
Went into the season on a lot of people minus sides, and has also struggled on the pitch this season which doesn't help.

People forget that this time last year when we looked woeful, he as a very young player provided a bright spark. There is a sensational footballer in there. The pace, the technique, the dribbling and the crossing is something he has shown he has in the locker. Hopefully cameos like against Madrid and today can build that confidence back up

His arc is starting to look redemptive. Fair play to him.

He needs to start against Brentford and smash it.

I'd keep him on the bench for now. Just keep impressing in the late stages where atm it suits with tired legs he's up against. Once his confidence is back fully then start him.

Glad the defender didn't pull him down on the half way line
Can only be good for his confidence.

You could almost hear the Palace players thinking about hacking him down, and deciding that it wasn't worth it, already being 2-0 down.

If it had been at 0-0, we'd have been playing the rest of the game against 10 men.

The lad did well when it was needed.
 
Good cameo again. A good building block from Wednesday’s cameo I thought. Hopefully a turning point.

Shame he didn’t feel confident enough to just open his body up to finish that at the end but did well (the extra touch) to get the penalty.
 
Good run, I was very torn to give him the pen and from where I was it looked like it was being discussed but Haaland should take them if he’s on the pitch

With Doku injured ( not sure for how long) and Ait Nouri and Marmoush away, we are running low on options.
Bobb or Savinho will be getting game time over the next few weeks
 
He's absolutely rapid, isn't he? Think Pep needs to set us up a little differently to get the best out of him, he's not a player who does his best work recycling possession, he needs space to run into.
