26 | Savinho - 2025/26

He did so well to get into the position to win the game and once again failed to deliver. I just don't know with him - at this level the difference between winning trophies and coming second is those kind of moments and I don't know if he will ever convince me he can be a match winner. We looked so much more potent once he went off and that tells you all you need to know.

Maybe he needs a loan if we get Semenyo because there is a great player in there but he just doesn't give the team any goal threat when he starts. Super sub at best.

Dont think him going off was the reason we looks more potent to be fair. Sunderland were tiring, and Rodri was being progressive with his passing than Nico.

Thought his second chance was unlucky, it was a really good save. First chance, has to be scoring. Ball was bouncing and he was running ful pelt, so it wasn't a tap in, but top level players should be putting it away.
 
You'd think he would have learned that stopping and appealing to the ref when he gets the slightest tug doesn't work by now.

1 goal in 43 premier league appearances might be worse than Grealish managed.
 
Needed to role back on the pitch, unless I missed something he should have got treatment on the pitch and then done the sub.

Left us down a man for 2 minutes and had to cede possession to get the sub done:

His pace creates both chances out of nothing. Yes his finishing was shit, so was everyone else's. He's clearly improving, if only he could get a bit of support from his own fans.

I honestly think fans want him to succeed but as to your point a forward player that scores at a rate of about 1 in 40+ games is nowhere near good enough. A top wide player should score at 1 in 6 or 7 games.

He has supreme talent when running with the ball but his finishing is woeful and maybe that will not change at a club like ours that has to challenge on all fronts.
 
Keep playing him and we will keep missing chances and then we don’t games which has cost us tonight keep bobb abd get of him
 
Lacks football IQ, does not pass to teammates enough. Had the beating of their fullback, but did not do enough.

Would be no worse off if we’d binned him off and kept Ederson to play up front!

He’s a fucking waste of a City shirt. Need Semenyo in asap.

Supreme talent? Their RB was ok until Doku in... that's supreme talent running with the ball. Savinho tricks but does nothing in the end.

Nothing else he does matters when he can’t finish. He was our most threatening forward but it is irrelevant when there is no end product. The guy couldn’t hit the target, centre goal, 6 yards out. He is a complete waste of time and effort.

You make it sound like a tap in. He's sprinted, then stretched to get onto a ball that bobbles just as he hits it. If he'd have scored it would have been a brilliant finish, it's hardly Sterling v Lyon.

That’s what is so frustrating. He’s so dangerous in the build up but there’s zero belief he’s going to score. He unlocks that part of his game he will be a top quality winger.

I guess the point I'm making is all players at the top level have talent that we can only dream of having.

I have been clear for a while - in my mind it would be best for all parties if he were to try his luck at another club. I wanted him to succeed after seeing his impact in his first few matches but his inability to finish chances is hurting the team now.

But it’s just him all over isn’t it? If he was on 7 or 8 goals for the season, we could just write of today, as everyone misses them. However, he just never scores. He needed a huge deflection the other week to get him his goal and without a huge slice of good fortune, he simply cannot find the back of the net.

If you’re playing wide forward in a City side and you can’t score, you’re utterly pointless. All the other arguments/conversations about him on here is just noise.
