27 | Matheus Nunes - 2023/24

[eversince 76]

He has talent. That’s obvious to see. But he is definitely one of the players that need a full season to click. We’ve had a few of those (Rodri got some stick his first season) that were brilliant the years after, so I’m not worried nor do I care about his age.

I thought he was ok last night, bursting forward with the ball, but he struggled with his passes, a few times he over hit a simple pass.
Hes ok, happy to give him the ‘first season’ that most players need at city to bed in.
But i have my doubts

Played the game last night as though he had a premonition he might fall over on his hand and dislocate a finger.
He really doesn't like any physicality in the game, half token gestures when trying to retrieve the ball.
I don't mind that if he's on fire with the ball, we all remember Mahrez

Since when has 25 been classed as a young player ?

He isn't young it's his maturity as player seem like he is a young player just coming into a team at 18/20

 

[lightning Rodri]

, but I’m still none the wiser as to his best position on the pitch.

That's where I am at with him. I can only hope Pep sees something in him and he's trying out different positions to see where he could get the best out of the talent.

He came into the pro game very late, very few games.

He came into the pro game very late, very few games.

Foden, despite being two years younger has played a dozen more games in his senior career, all of which are PL. Nunes played 36 times for a very average Wolves and is now making a huge step up. There is a very good player in there, he needs a full season. Bear in mind how poor the likes of Mahrez, Rodri, Laporte etc were in their first season, the lad needs more time to adapt and become a key part of the team. One thing he has which I think we are lacking is pace, last season he was clocked as the seventh fastest player in the league. He will only become a better player surrounded by the likes of Rodri, KDB, Foden, Kova etc

A lot of wishful thinking on this thread.
