26 | Savinho - 2024/25

[Damanino]

very early days for him, but have higher hopes for him than Doku, Grealish. I think they can be developed into a great winger in time with us.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

I think he’s gonna be a star

 

[goatfeeder100]

Very much a nearly player. Plenty of threat, much more in control of the ball than Doku when running at men. Just makes too many poor decisions with the end product. Certainly young enough to improve this and he's not being helped by fk all options in the box most of the time. I've got hopes for him being a star for us in the coming years as the squad evolves, hopefully for the better from where we sit currently.

He makes me realise how much we miss Mahrez

 

[Saddleworth2]

A very very frustrating player. Obvious talent but little sign of any type of intelligence. I'm surprised he hasn't had some of his nonsense coached out of him.

 

[M23 Citizen]

He needs a few years in the gym, he’s very soft and weak. And he needs a few years of shooting practice.

Read many times over the years that players like Lampard and Salah would spend hours after training practicing their shooting, all the time. This is what Savinho needs.

When he shoots his technique is terrible. Whatever club academy he came from were obviously utter shite because he does pretty much everything wrong when he shoots: leans back, head not over the ball, shoulders not square to where he wants the ball to go, balance too far over in standing leg meaning his kicking leg is just swinging, nearly always falling over. You pull kids aside at Under 11s to tell them that sort of stuff, never mind at a club academy in a country who’ve won 5 World Cups.

All that aside, I am actually quite excited about him because he’s got the close control and skill of a high level winger.

Lots and lots of work to do, but one for the future!

 

[Belgian Flash]

Weird awkward dribbling style but it works and he clearly has a good head on him. Need to find him on the wing more often, and sooner so to get him off the races right away. He won the penalty today and his future is bright.

He makes me realise how much we miss Mahrez

I certainly do.

 

[Keeper!]

Huge talent but like his mate on the other fland (Doku) weak, flakey character.

Players who become regulars at top clubs have to have technic but they have to have a very strong mentality, sadly not sure he has.

 

[pride in battle]

He should forget about scoring and remember his right foot is not just for standing on.
Why nobody was bollocking him for his ridiculous attempts ‘on goal’ I have no idea.

He was the only one trying to score...you don't shoot you don't score !!
