14 | Nico Gonzalez - 2024/25

So he's good now?

So he's good now?

Is he bad? I honestly don’t think anyone has seen enough to offer a fair judgement. A meagre 801 minute across 15 games in a side that is rarely ever the same.
The key now will surely be how Guardiola uses Gonzalez and Rodri to get the best out of both.

I have no idea either, like the other 2 it's strange if he's good that Pep hasn't used him more.

The January transfers are hard to apply logic to.

 

[rodrizontal]

You can see he is a lot more confident on the ball now.

 

[ElMago_DSilva]

Really can't quite understand why Pep has not played him much recently.

Every time he plays we look a far better side. I really rate him.

 

[Alexia_Ko]

according to some he isn’t a Pep signing but to me he plays like a Pep player so maybe Pep has been working on him

Pep loyalty to certain players

[Jamo Mcfc]

He’s excellent

 

[AlthamBlue]

He’s such a good player, just quietly gets on with his job. Couple of really good forward runs in the 1st half too.

 

[youngbob]

Tidy.

 

[WallyA]

He will have a big role next season.

Kova’s been playing well and the midfield with him, Bernardo and Gundo has been as solid as it’s been all season. Don’t think it’s anything against Gonzalez, just Pep riding what’s been working recently.

I don't think we should read too much into the lineups over this last couple of months. Think Pep has been going with the players he knows he can trust in the run-in

Hopefully will start to see the likes of Nico, Khusanov, Echeverri, Bobb and Reis getting more game time from next month, once the pressure is off

 

[chris85mcfc]

Called it after his first game, could just see something in him, and now even more surprised he's not had more game time

Anyway, he needs a tough pre season to really get him fit and sharp for next season, and if he fires, he really could be a top player for us

 

[Bluewood]

Haven’t watched one game since he joined where I’ve thought this guy wasn’t up to it. He’ll be absolutely fine next season as a Rodri understudy and showed in the Bournemouth game he can play further forward too.

Think Pep has purposely held the new boys bar Marmoush back this last few months. Let them train, get used to the way we work and unleash them fully next season. Now Champions League is wrapped up I’m fine with that decision. Still would’ve played him against Palace mind you

 

[Giovinco]

Thought he played well today

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

He's slow off the ball and is still getting caught on it a bit, but I agree that there's an excellent player there. He just needs to play consistently.

 

[RayCTID]

No need for an extra midfield signing.

 

[paulsimpson]

Impressive these last two games and his confidence is building. We will see more of him in the CWC in 3 weeks time .
