26 | Savinho - 2024/25

Concerned so much with getting his first goal it's impacting his whole game

 

[It'sBlue93:20]

Think he was good today. We shouldn’t have taken him off. Bernardo offers no threat on the flanks and to all the stick that Doku gets I think we’ve missed him heavily.

 

[blue wang]

Once he finds the back of the net I think the goals will start rolling in. Can definitely hit 12 in the Prem, 6 assist. Not the greatest time to be bedding in at the moment.

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

He has been fine considering the step up to the Pl.

With a bit more composure, and a goal to add, he will no doubt be ok, and push on.

My thoughts exactly. The more desperate he becomes to score his first goal the more he could make the wrong decisions between shoot and pass. Once he does get his goal then perhaps he might be more like KdB and strive to be the "assist king".

 

[wolviedinho]

Can’t be harsh. Coming into a dysfunctional team.

Passing needs to improve and his decision making.

 

[K-Bo]

i feel like all our wingers are good but can't finish. It's a terrible situation lol.

I was always critical of the likes of Sterling and Mahrez for their overall play. I could never be critical of their G/A contribution. I look at the like of Doku and Silvinho and think that for the most part, I like what they do. However, there’s no escaping the fact that they simply don’t deliver enough. I think Silvinho has more talent than Sterling ever had but I’d snap your hand off for Sterlings goals right now.

I wouldn't compare Mahrez in that term, because except 19/20, his overall play like: first touch, correct passes, loosing the ball was always OK and in terms of statistics he was scoring a lot as well.

Sane / Sterling had these issues more, cause both of them lacked "first touch" and they weren't as convincing with the ball like Doku and Savinho are.

But in terms of statistics Sane and Sterling were way better.

Right now, when we lack Rodri and loosing ball is something we don't want, Doku/Savinho are vital, but we also need players like Kev and Phil to start scoring the goals.

Also since like 2022/23 when Pep invented that system

Bernie--John----Rodri---Grealish
----------KDB-----Gundo------------
-------------Haaland-----------------

Wingers are more important in terms of build-up and possession, while N8-s are important in terms of goals and assists. Since then our N8-s (Gundo, KDB, Foden, Alvarez) have scored more than our wingers Grealish, Doku, Mahrez, Savinho, Bernardo...

Before it was like: wingers were providing more goals and assists in overall, n8-s were concentrating more on build-up and possession. Sane/Sterling/Mahrez/Foden scoring & assisting more than KDB, Gundo and Bernie

 

[urban genie]

Early glimpses looked like a young mahrez
At the minute he is more like a martin petrov

Good on the ball but end product is lacking in the main.

bedding in season so won't be over critical, but he needs to start taking chances better, the 2 he shot wide yesterday would be going in at girona, a goal will bring confidence and hopefully a better goals return follows

 

[BlueTG]

How did he not square that first ball for Haaland?

Needs some end product in front of goal.

 

[Haaland94]

1st season with City and he has been one of our most dangerous players in every single game he has played in. Currently lacks the end product, but he scored a decent amount of goals for Girona, so it will come. He has incredible raw ability that will see him become one of the best in the business in his position.

 

[.db.]

He looks a top prospect.

Loads to improve on but what he’s already good at you can see he’s going to be a cracking player.

First and foremost he needs to toughen the fuck up and stop fucking diving. We need to get the Brazilian out of him. I wish Fernandinho was still here to tell him that Brazilians don’t always have to be stereotypical injury feigning, diving idiots.

Next would be to work on his final ball and his shooting.

But his core skills with the ball at his feet look excellent. Estupinan is one of the best left backs in the PL and he had him turned inside out a number of times yesterday.

 

[waspish]

Criminal of pep taking him off bet Brighton players loved it when they saw he was getting subbed off

 

[Keeper!]

Just needs to toughen up physically and mentally.

Once that first goal goes in, he will be scoring for fun.

Top signing this lad.

I think he was a bit fucked. I was at the game and he didn't look like he had 90mins in him.

He's got the lot other than being allergic to shooting on target, great to watch but as frustrating to watch.

Bodes well for the obvious FFS replacement :)

 

[argyle]

Clearly not good enough right now.

Only playing because Bobb, Grealish and Doku are injured.

 

[borassic]

He’s fucking rubbish.

 

[Gorbachev]

Brazil don't half produce some rubbish nowadays.
