26 | Savinho - 2024/25

?

Savinho wasn't even with us last season....

And every opportunity that Pep gave Bobb(which was FAR too few), he looked as great as he did for us in the pre-season.

Where did I mention that he was with us? Savinho was the best winger in La Liga last season stat wise. What did Bobb do compared to that? Come off the bench in some games?

He’s been good so far, but needs a goal just to get off the mark

A bit petulant also it seems

too soon to compare him to Mahrez

It’s amazing how we have gone from Treble winners to this in less than 18m. The recruitment has been dreadful from that moment. Selling Alvarez with no replacement lined up was an absolutely criminal decision.

I agree, 2 summer windows where the players who have come in are not players we would expect to be first team starters. Savinho I assumed we would bed in gradually and that may have been beneficial for him. I also understand Savinho played almost entirely on the LW at Girona but Pep is using him on Right because he is better than others on the right. If he plays on left we may see him contributing more, but we are overloaded with LW’s Grealish, Doku and now Nunes.

too soon to compare him to Mahrez

He's not in the same class as Riyad Mahrez and never will be. Mahrez, like Yaya Toure, was a genuine one-off.

Just needs to keep working to be the best Savinho he can be.

He’s actually started his City career under Pep better than most do.. I didn’t expect him to play as much and feel his second season will be lethal.. he’s work in progress but I have high hopes.
