27 | Matheus Nunes - 2023/24

[TrentGrisham]

His night consisted of throwing tantrums at his teammates and having his finger on back to front. Great money if you can get it.

I usually agree with your positions, but it feels like you have it out for Nunes. (I'm sure people feel the same way I do about Walker.) I thought he played well, all things considered.

 

[Haaland94]

No concern here from me. He losses the ball too much, his first touch can be off, or passing misplaced, but these are relatively easy technical issues to fix. He has the raw ability that will make him succeed here, eventually. I like the RW idea as well, for the time being. He was decent today, IMO.

Think he has the Cancelo mard arse gene.

I don’t have it in for him, I just feel that he flatters to deceive.

If he is going to disappear in games as much as he does, he has to provide a shitload of goals and/or assists and currently he does neither. Nunes has the odd nice dribble or touch that for the most part, comes to nothing and then goes missing for huge chunks of matches. He’s arguably no more involved most games than Haaland but Haaland has 50 goals a season to fall back on.

He will need to improve massively next season or he will be done here.

I must be missing something.

Perhaps not his best game tonight, but like a lot of new players he needs time to adjust. Next season will give us a better indication of whether he will make it or not at City.

He clearly has a lot of talent and ability but, much like my issue with Kalvin, he also needs to get stuck in and work his arse off if he is going to make it with us and I'm not sure that's going to be something he ever does...time will tell, but if we could have bought Paqueta instead of Nunes I feel we would have had a much better player and more natural fit.

Paqueta was the one potential signing that I was excited about in the summer, like you said a natural fit.

 

[Goldust]

Don’t see many city players throw their arms in the air at his teammates and last.

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

He needs to pull his fanny finger out and get on with it.

 

[super_city_si]

Looks to have the talent but not the temperament. Such a fanny. Wimps out of every challenge.
