14 | Nico Gonzalez - 2024/25

[David Silva]

Game changer

 

[super_city_si]

Filled a huge hole. Plays the position really well. Loved it when he used his arse to block a newcastle player. Gaz baz vibes.

Noticeable we were never caught ahead of the ball. Lots to like.

 

[hilts]

Is he slow, average or deceptively quick?

 

[WallyA]

Just to be safe, lets buy another player like him in the summer.

His profile is the most valuable to Peps system.

Is he slow, average or deceptively quick?

Think hes average pace but knows how to position himself and was in the right place a lot. Have to be careful but a lot like rodri.

 

[OldhamBlue94]

Fantastic. Just fantastic

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

I don't think it's hyperbole to suggest he made everyone around him that little bit better.

He brought a calming presence, and that seem to transmit to everyone.

Got John Stones to thank for such a good home debut. He lost the ball early on for probably their best chance which stones thwarted, had that gone in the games a lot different and perhaps his confidence drops. But it didn't and he didn't put a single foot wrong after that minor error.

Allowed gundo to play his natural role and theres no surprise thats the best we've seen of gundo since his return. I expect kovacic and bernardo to be able to resume their roles as a true 8 now with Nico and that's going to help us immeasurably.

His 1 addition will feel like getting 2 or 3 new players now that were not playing the entire midfield in unfamiliar roles. Welcome to city Nico, you'll be very important.

 

[117 M34]

Rodri-esque performance.
Like the way he was constantly talking and telling others where to be and what to do.

 

[skillman]

Mint. Exactly what we’ve been missing.

Aggressive, combative and EVERY SINGLE PASS was progressive. Forward. Every pass had a meaning.

And spent a lot of the time directing players around him. Telling them to go forward. Very supportive of team mates too, like Dias.

Such an exciting player.

 

[youngbob]

So, so important today.

Gvardiol gave the ball away tbf. Was a silly pass - turned into a 50/50.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

I didn’t see the game but I’m already convinced he’s better than prime Makelele.

[YatesA]

Merson just said “I didn’t notice him”.

You'd think an ex pro seen beyond the glitx and glamour of football. Nico did all the small things that matter the most in a pep system and that's why we dominated today.

 

[waspish]

Merson comes across so so Dumb it must be an act because no ex footballer who has played the game at a high level could that Cretinous!

He does his job of getting people talking and tweeting about him.

 

[Durutti City]

My Man of the Match today. Thought he was outstanding. Well done, Nico.

 

[waspish]

He does his job of getting people talking and tweeting about him.

Exactly he is the studio click bait

 

[lightning Rodri]

When's that Barcelona bid coming in?
