27 | Matheus Nunes - 2025/26

[Chak19]

Hope Pep tries him at CM more.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Signs of Peps increasing confidence in Nunes by putting him on in midfield and not switching him to right back and pushing Rico lewis up.

Think that was only an option though because of Khusanovs presence in the back line, we are always going to need at least 1 of them in there. Would be great if he became a viable option in there but I dont think it's important for Nunes' future, has the potential to be a far better right back than midfielder in my eyes.

Can defo do a job in the middle to rest Nico. Wouldn't start him in there necessarily but if the games won he has the speed and ability to just keep us ticking over.

 

[Blue_Lightsaber]

Can do a job at DM on a cold rainy night in Manchester.

What more do the haters want?

Probably that he be sold for peanuts.. which just shows how nuts they are!

 

[Beanhead]

One of my favourite players at the moment, so happy he looks content, and more relaxed, like he believes he belongs here and that’s on merit of the hard yards he’s Put in the past 18 months. Fair fucks to him.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Good cameo. Would be huge if he can give the team some CM mins. Would be beneficial to Nico too.

Who are you playing at RB then? :-)

Who are you playing at RB then? :-)

Probably Khusa as a defensive RB.

No comments here, kinda surprising.

My MotM, so amazing at both positions.

Becoming the norm with the kid :-)

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Our most consistent performer at the minute. Pace, strength and energy. Peps playing him in the middle now, says it all!

 

[tackeds]

got to say I love this guy and I’m buzzing for him that its all going so well.

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

Cool to see Pep's trust for him grow and grow. I think his legs could be handy in our midfield, but he's doing so well at right back, it's hard to see it happening this season.

 

[spiny]

Performing better at RB than in midfield at present. Pep and co know. Not yet ready for midfield but learning. He has pace, physicality and skill but not ready to be trusted in the role.

 

[ninjamonkey]

All the "we need a right back" naysayers might actually be able to return soon if he continues do perform well in midfield. Aside from Haaland, he's player of the season so far. Not bad for somebody supposedly nowhere near good enough to be at this club.

 

[stan bowles]

MoTM for me today. Thought he was pretty much faultless all game save for 2 misplaced passes in a row near the end. Looks totally comfortable and confident in himself.

 

[Saddleworth2]

Top notch.

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Top notch.

Has cut out all those silly mistakes now that he has settled in to the position.
Can't be far off Walker's pace and that is saying something

 

[skillman]

Love the geez.

 

[samuelyeboah]

you listen to opposition fans and "pundits" and they still don't know. they have no clue how good he is. they still think he's a weak link in the team, a makeshift placeholder that we'll be looking to replace come january. I'd understand being this late to the party around october, but fucking hell lads it's almost christmas, when are you planning on catching up?

 

[CΛL]

World class at fullback and I think he could genuinely do a job for us as a rotation option in the 6. Aside from a couple shit forward passes today, he’s not looked out of place there in either midfield cameo.

Looks bigger and stronger than when he first joined too. Fast as fuck, top cross on him. He’s got it all. What a turnaround.
