26 | Savinho - 2024/25

[Newman Noggs]

Am I the only person that doesn't find this reassuring ? Has to go off on his debut with a knee injury but it's okay because he's had it before ??

 

[mcfcpride]

Any Savinho news? Sure hope it was a precautionary sub

 

[Akira]

Lovely 45mins, wished he didn't have to go off. Think Cucurella might have nightmares about him if he played 90mins.

Hopefully it wasn't anything much and he is back by the next game.

Right up there with Mangala and Fitzroy Simpson in terms of a debut.

No higher compliment in my book!!

Sergio’s was OK too I suppose!!

Agree - it was good but not of the level of Laurent Charvet…..

Dream debut - could tell we have uncovered a gem that night

 

[AirbagsOptionalTheReturn]

Great cameo of a debut, especially when he played on the right. Looks an exciting prospect and hopefully this knee injury that he has had before is nothing sinister. Only minor whinge is that on a couple of occasions he could have crossed with his right and chose not to and cut back onto his left, now that may have been because Erl was marked up, but he could have taken a chance on one of them.

Strange statement about the knee. Hopefully, it just is something that requires a dedicated programme to strengthen a very specific area.

 

[shevtheblue]

Like him a lot, think the balance of him on right and Grealish on the left is probably the best bet though. What i did really like was his work rate and getting back into position, looks like the season at Girona has really helped us with that.

 

[Vienna_70]

It was a very impressive debut, and it was a shame that he had to go off.

Considering it was only his second game in Blue, he looked very good, and will obviously improve the more he plays and gets to know his teammates.

We really have uncovered a gem of a player, and the prospect of watching him terrify full-backs for the next decade is exciting.

My thoughts too. You’d think our strict medical system would have noted this if it’s something that he suffers with regularly

 

[jimharri]

That's good news.

 

[Dax777]

Relaxxxxx... I liked what I saw, too, but Mahrez is a Premier League legend.

True. I'm projecting his peak. I see a better Mahrez. His defensive work and speed suggests that to me.

He definitely has those edges over Mahrez. Mahrez was so, so skilled though. Won't it be great to witness the journey!

Yep that Cucumber got sliced.

 

[Silva 83]

I didn't see any of him at Girona, but he looks a real talent. Great close control as well as ability to come inside, and can see him embarrassing plenty of defenders with his dribbling.

Still raw obviously but could be as brilliant as plenty people have predicted he can be.

 

[Dialog]

This is going to be fun.

I would be extra fun with Bobb and Foden playing as Double 10's. Savio on the right, Doku on the left. I would love to see that line up some day. That would be so fun!

[It'sBlue93:20]

Hoping he starts this weekend give him another chance.

 

[chris85mcfc]

Assuming the training clips that the club have just shared are post Chelsea game, it looks as though he's been training today!

Looking forward to seeing him at the Etihad

I SWEAR THIS BOY HAS BEEN PLAYING FOR US FOR AGES!
THIS BOY IS DANGEROUS. THE PREMIER LEAGUE IS SCARED!
OMG WE HAVE A SPECIAL ONE WITH US!
