26 | Savinho - 2024/25

Do you remember Sane before christmas in his first season? He looked hopeless

Yes, and I wouldn't say hopeless....I also see the current Savinho, and bar two 10sec passages of play today, he hardly had a kick! I want all our players to become world class, but they won't, and I see nothing in Savinho, or Doku either, to suggest they will ever be more than decent. So far, Savinho looks levels below Jesus when he first signed.

Prefer him on the left and he had his best game there today.

That is baffling, but you are entitled to your opinion

I will have to respectfully disagree with you there, mate. Savinho has a better touch, better technique and is a far better dribbler than Jesus.
Jesus also had the luxury of being intergrated into a far better team than the one Savinho has been thrust into.
Savinho also seems to have a lot more confidence in his ability than Jesus has.
I think Savinho has been fantastic. His performances have been fine. If he was a 20 year old kid who had come through our ranks, everyone would be raving about his promising start, about how good he has looked and how unlucky he has been not to have better stats.
Because we bought him, lots of people have been writing him off because he does not have 10 goals and 8 assists.
He will be an absolutely brilliant player for us.

Savinho is on a different plane to Doku. Yesterday was encouraging, his two moments basically won us the game. If he can maintain that kind of productivity, then we have a gem on our hands.

He’ll become a goal scoring machine, IMO. The simple action of following in a shot in case the keeper parries the ball is a lost art and one that you don’t usually see from wingers.

Shows good anticipation of where the ball is going to go (or potentially go) and will serve him very well in terms of scoring goals.

Happy he finally got his goal. He really needed that.

I think Sav has shown a lot of promise since arriving, confidence yes, also a bit naive. Gr8 he got the goal probably what he needs. He was ok until he got the goal, then saw absolutely nothing from him, no wanting to receive the ball, no tracking back, should have been substituted in my opinion.

A goal and an assist and he still can't catch a break.
