26 | Savinho - 2025/26

German tv pundits very impressed after 1st half and said, if that lad ever starts scoring on top of that - goodness me...

Think he will learn when to get his head up to look around and find the target man. That would make a huge step forward...
He had 8 league assists last season which is decent, I remember a few of those to Haaland, needs to find that again since his finishing is awful.
 
The whole team kinda of dipped 2nd half, not just Savinho, so wouldn't use that against him, Dortmund had the flow of the game in their direction.

But he played well. He is still really young and improving, but it was an encouraging performance.
 
Played well today. He's a decent player when he has space to run at defences. His struggles have mainly been again low blocks where he doesn't have much space to run into.

Dortmund's style certainly suited him tonight

On a separate note I'm at Sparta Prague tomorrow night and Dynamo Dresden on Friday before flying home for City v Liverpool
Looking forward to it.
 
Better tonight. Hopefully experience will help him understand when to release the ball and when to run with it. He really needs to lift his head up and pick his ball into the box though and for fucks sake have a proper shot instead of flicking the ball somewhere with the outside of his foot.

But, credit where it’s due he had better game today.

I really hope you enjoy the city. It's truly a beautiful place. Just don't expect the quality of football to be up to much (the beer is great though),

Sparta fans can be a bit dodgy at times, though not as bad as in previous years, so just keep your wits about you.
 
He has the talent and the end product will come
Pep seems to think so

"His numbers for goals and assists last season – Savinho created a lot, and in the final third, [he needs to] be active in the right moment.

“The moment he does that, he's young, he will be a top class player.

“He will make this step - it will come. Savinho will be a top player for Man City.”

 
I thought he played pretty much like he usually does, but we got the ball to him quicker so the full-back was isolated rather than having about three players to beat.

Say that as someone who quite rates him generally.
