14 | Nico Gonzalez - 2025/26

Nico Gonzales has come of age.For a player who some wondered doesn't fit our system.. isn't good enough..

Well it didn't look like we missed Rodri today.. did we??
 
It's crazy how transformed we are with a proper defensive midfielder.

Night and day difference with Nico G there.

I'm so glad he didn't get called up for Spain, he can have a good rest.
 
I must have missed when he was bad, took some time to adjust back to his original role after he had 2 other players that covered for him at Porto. But was good already in the spring.
I would like to see him play more progressive runs beside Rodri when he comes back as well thoguh, not just the deputy-Rodri.
 
I did think he should have been sold in the Summer but pleased to be proved wrong on this occasion. Got to figure out how to re-integrate Rodri.
 
I was worried for him when he got booked. That was Bernardo's fault.

But he never let it affect him.

As usual, he was very strong in terms of defensive actions/physicality:

5/6 ground duels won
1/2 aerial duels won
3/3 tackles won
2 interceptions
2 clearances
1 blocked shot
Was fouled - 2 times

I think they can play together both are capable of playing further forward. Bernie is not getting any younger as well
 
Knew he would prove people wrong. Excellent performance again - against the midfield that dominated the league last year. So glad he got a goal as well.
 
Up until a few weeks ago I thought a good season from us would be top 4.

This guy has been so transformative and influential that I now think we can get back our title.
 
Perhaps this signing wasn’t indicative of the club losing its way in the transfer market after all.
