26 | Savinho - 2024/25

He’s got a lot to learn this lad, not sure where he learnt the game but his shooting… he always starts every shot about four yards too wide outside the post and the balance of his body is all wrong, always half stretching, back is never straight, shoulders aren’t over the ball…

Some of his close control and skills are incredible for a 20 year old though.

There’s a very talented player there who will rip up trees in his prime but he needs to put a hell of a lot of work in now to improve a few things to get there.

And I know I keep saying this but he needs to toughen up massively!
Get Nigel de Jong back on the pitch at training for the sole purpose to just slam into this kid a few times a day.

Interesting but I feel Man City fans (at least on this board) have a lot more leeway for Savinho than Doku, even when compared to Doku's first season. What is it that you guys like about Savinho that makes him more of a fan darling than Doku? Honestly just curious.

You can count me out of the doubters, mate. I love Doku. His dribbling is brilliant and he brings the unexpected to what have become pedestrian, predictable build-ups. Prepared to shoot, too, when others look for the pass that often ends the move. Not the finished article yet but I believe he can and will become a true City hero. The only caveat is injuries.

P.S. I see potential in Savinho too but Doku is currently well ahead of him.

P.P.S. Can’t believe Pep picks him as he is so unlike everyone else and doesn’t stick to the blueprint.
 
You can't count both Doku and Savinho as non Pep players but both have been given a fair chance. More than flavour of the month Cole Palmer.
 
I think both of them show potential.
Haaland just needs to be more mobile to create spaces for both of them to move into.
Jackson and Solanke were a good example on Sunday.
Watching Chelsea was like watching us 4 years ago.
 
is he the only player that got "punished" for mediocre games recently? Pep clearly took him out of the games for a bit now. could name another 8-9 players lol
 
He is still finding his feet at the club. Pep has rightly taken him out of the firing line until we start showing signs we can regain our mojo. Shown glimpses of promise.
