For Savinho to unleash more magic, our full-back just needs to make more runs behind and consistently fool the opposition's full-back.

Yeah I'd like to see Rico add those overlapping runs to his game, he makes good underlapping runs already but rarely goes the other side. May be Pep's instructions but I agree it will help Savinho be even more effective.
 
Ken Lawrence and Henry Tomlinson of the Sun Newspaper commenting on Man City players performance v Sparta wrote (don't know why it takes two of then to write a story?) that our new Samba man failed to shine and didn't dance that great, after giving the Sparta fullback a nightmare of a game. He was awarded 5 points. Savinho is only 20 and has only played a handful of games for City but already looking to be a more than worthy replacement for Mahrez. Not only does he go past opponents either side but chases and gets the ball back after loosing possession. Against park the bus merchants he has to learn that they are ready to intercept low crosses from the byeline. With a striker as big as Haarland who can out jump any defender chip the ball over (away from the keepers hands) and Haarland will do the rest.

The Sun ? Newspaper ?


Without page 3 there is nothing of any credence ever within .

First mistake is reading the Sun.
 
All of our wingers seem to be playmakers by trade which is great, we need them producing for the likes of Haaland, Foden or Kevin in the middle.

But we need them to develop into goalscorers too.

With Grealish it's too late, he is an elite playmaker, but doesn't get himself in positions enough to score goals.

But I want Savinho (and Doku) to be goal scorers and develop that side more.
 
Needs to be taught game management.

Good 95% of the game.. but when there's only 4 minutes left, just run the clock out.. don't just cross the ball to nowhere and then lose possession which leads to an opposition corner.
 
Extremely unlucky not to get a few assists, can cross very well with his weaker foot which makes him so dangerous.
 
Still not on the same wavelength as his teammates when it comes to that last bit but it will come in time. Very positive signs and another good game.
