Yep, he is one of our players of the season, IMO.

Assuming he plays in all three, he’ll smash through the 4,000 minute mark and have played 50 games this season.
Great for his rhythm, confidence, and sense of belonging, but at the same time completely unsustainable, so we need to find someone (Reis/Khusanov) to help lighten that load.

Just gets on with it these days doesnt he, you dont even realise hes there
Seems to be a 7/10 every game and I like the fight hes showing now hes more confident. Couple of times last night hes gone and grabbed the ball back off one of their players, and he doesnt shy away from a little scuffle if there's one going

Brilliant again. Nunes and Khus on that right side is solid.

Tough game. Teams are clearly targeting him in the air but he never stops and still looks surprisingly strong given how much he has played.

My motm. Faultless performance. Locked his side down entirely, all Chelsea threat came down the other side even though cucurella is typically the more threatening wingback. Brilliant 1v1 defending multiple occasions.

Loved this from him. Took a leaf out of Khusa's book.

I made him my MOM at the game yesterday….thought he was superb along with Guehi and Khusanov.
Just got back and watching a replay on IPlayer and just seen the really important header he won on 20 mins.

Put in one hell of a shift tonight. Completely outnumbered down our right tonight, Semenyo didn't once track Truffert which left Nunes 2v1 constantly but still did a good job.
Will ne Interesting to see how things change for him with no Pep. Seems he is more than willing to play fullback for Pep but will he want that with Maresca? Will Maresca want him at right back, would he be open to playing him in midfield? Personally hope nothing changes, he's a brilliant right back, i see no better than him and I think he takes another step up next season.

I thought he was a bit at fault for their goal as well as Khusanov. Not been as much as an attacking threat recently.

He's managed to get into the Portugal squad by playing RB. I couldn't see him getting in that midfield of theirs
This should really be him now.

Pep talked about Matheus being used as holding midfielder more in future recently.
I think after he resurrected his career at City and delivered stable results as a RB, now he is ready to return in midfield and become one of the best midfielders in football..
During his first season he was always loosing physical duels, slipping a lot, didn't know system and teammates that much and etc. But now he is one of the senior members of the squad, has experience, has regained confidence, knows system well, so why not ?
Especially when futures of Rodri and Kovacic aren't certain and Bernardo has already left.
