26 | Savinho - 2024/25

[Craig]

Watch his highlights at Girona then watch how he played in the game against Chelsea THEN watch his highlights since then. The overly systematic and mechanical way we play is destroying the brilliance of these youngsters, it's the same with Phil this season. It's like everyone is in a fucking cubicle now, Let them express themselves

I’m confident Savio will prove to be a very good signing for us in time.Only thing with what you’re saying about him is then how do you explain how Doku plays under Pep?

So now Savio is getting thrown under the bus !? Fucking hell

 

[Fordyboy46]

Great skill, good pace, absolutely awful end product. 50/50 if he's going to make it at City

Needs more time and to be eased in gradually. Once Bobb hopefully returns I can see Savinho being on the bench for much of the rest of the season but he can still make an impact against tired defences.

It's affecting him also, apart from the quick short bursts, he is now overly cautious and seems to overthink things.

 

[David White]

Clearly has the technical ability to do whatever he wants in the game but he looks petrified. New league, low in confidence, trying to find his feet and playing in a stuttering team. A goal or two will do him good.

He’s an absolute fanny though and if he is going to be a top player he needs to sort this out.

Time will tell but just like Rico, he’s a kid that’s playing more than he would be if we had a squad of players that weren’t made out of biscuit.

Archetypal young Brazilian in Winter performance yesterday. Anonymous and lightweight. The lad is talented no doubt but this is a time for men not kids.

 

[Haaland94]

Incredible talent and one of our brightest points this season. In his 1st season in England, getting used to everything, as far as our problems are concerned he is close to the bottom of the list.

 

[Saddleworth2]

He isn't good enough for us. Fast feet but little football 'brain'. Have thought that since day 1. They should fine him every time he shoots instead of passing to a better placed teammate. He wouldn't be taking much £ home with him. We have under 18s that have fast feet and are incredibly skilfull too. Pep wouldn't trust them though. Sorry to be critical. I'm just saying what I see.
Doku is looking like he wants to learn at least.

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

Definitely lacking in confidence right now and struggled to get into the game.

The moment he did have he should've scored.

Still he's young and lightweight and trying to adapt to the prem. Got to give him the one year to bed in before really judging. Especially when the team has been so poor overall.
