26 | Savinho - 2025/26

[Phil1]

Some people have an extremely low bar if they think he was fine when he came on.
He wasn’t awful and he’s had much worse cameos but he offered nothing and his inability to keep the ball when we are in the final mins is infuriating.

 

[NQCitizen]

That sort of thing never bothered David Silva or Aguero did it.

He’s a soft **** and he’s ineffective. Needs to leave.

No, they're probably 2 of our top 5 ever players.

A pretty unreachable comparison point for your prospect, squad-player 21 year old winger.

Tbf you can't even post about a 21 year old guy you've never met without calling him a "twat" or a "****". It's so rare to see a balanced criticism on this thread that's not just toxic abuse.

 

[Sibierskii]

Just noticed he’s turned off comments on his social media, might not be happening for him at the moment but the abuse is embarrassing

 

[wolfie1988]

Great cross to Haaland for the header. But he was an absolute disaster following that.

 

[Bozo]

Nowhere near good enough and our play is noticeably negatively affected when he comes on. I don't know how he's getting so much time.

 

[bluemonkey71]

Weak as piss, baby giraffe on ice skates. Knocked off the ball like a 5 yr old. We must have EDS players better than him surely?

But to persist with him this much that’s the standard he should be aiming for. He’s shown nothing to suggest he’ll even reach Jesus Navas level.

He’s absolutely infuriating and almost cost us a game from an unassailable lead.

Every game he plays, he never scores and never assists. He’s fucking useless and a waste of wages.

I am beginning think Savinho has a clause in his contract about mimimum appearances / playing time - i just can't understand how he is constantly given game time despite his performances or lack of !

 

[Marvin.]

The behaviour of many fans towards Savinho is damaging. I see him visibly wilting. He's really up against it now. Nunes came through this but he was older and more experienced.

You ever been to Manchester? It’s almost a term of endearment.

A beautiful fits all word that should be embraced. :-)

He’s probably posting another instagram photo of his suitcase with ‘Ossie’s Dream’ playing in the background.

Yep, the 'City' online presence can be very cuntish. I dont think he's currently up to par, but thats more on Pep than it is on him. He did the same thing with Raheem towards the end, whenever he was out of form Pep would play him and play him, I assume to try to get him back into form.

Halland bags that header, would have done the lad the world of good.

Yet you use it almost exclusively for a bloke you've said you hate. And yeah I live Manchester.

He was our top assister last year.

In 20odd minutes last night he was a post away from an assist.

As for the Navas comparison I guess we're ignoring the fact he produced a better season in 1 year in la liga at 19 than Navas has in 18 different seasons.

Does it? I've seen Pep shouting at players used as evidence of how much he loves them and believes in them before. How much we wants them to reach their potential etc.

I think you'll find its use - except between friends - may result in inappropriate endearment regret with additional adverse physical consequences for yourself.

So he’s regressing then. Even more reason to get rid.

I think your mind is made up on this one mate. I'd just develop him and if he's 23 and shows no progress, fine give up on him.
