14 | Nico Gonzalez - 2024/25

So he is like a combination of Rodri, Gundogan and Kovacic in terms of passing, ball retention, dribbling and goal scoring. Also his stature (6ft 3) and physicality.
 
If Pep exposes him like he did with Rodri there will be a lot of problems for our central defenders.
I see him with Kova or with Gundo on the pitch.

Yeah would expect him to have at least one of them with him. Even Rodders would have struggled this season without help as the others have simply physically fallen off a cliff

Probably him and Kovacic and or Bernardo. Like against Chelsea minus the Gundogan. Or it wil just be 2 man with Kovacic.

Is his awareness of space like David Silva & heading ability like Les Ferdinand too?
 
I hope he is closer to Rodri than Javi Garcia, truth is probably he is somewhere in between. if he is not levels above Yorkshire Pirlo than we have a problem.

Phillips even in his first 2-3 games looked so much out of place, slower and worried like he was shocked by our level and that was certainly a much different side in autumn of 2022 compared to now ad never really got comfortable.
