Gotta say I was impressed! Came on at 1-1, not an easy introduction at all. brought a lot of energy and seems to have lifted the team a little. had a hand in the second goal. All in all quite lovely

He covers a lot of ground in no time at all.

Great to see another player with great energy in the middle of the park. We know Pep will get him drilled on his role, but the one weakness the City side has had in previous campaigns is a lack of energy/pace on the defensive in midfield which is why we've prioritised control over being slightly more risky. Now with players like Nunes and Kovacic we have a lot more energy next to Rodri and that means we can look to attack with more pace and mix our game up when it's required. The squad is looking in great shape for another fantastic season. Great to see us start strongly and hopefully we can continue on that vein and not have to play catch up.

When haaland scored , nunes was so rapid he was already near the post to anticipate a rebound.
We‘ve been missing that kind of a player for a long time and finally we got one .

Dragging a defender out of the way with him too. Arrived at warp-speed!

We've moved up a notch from where we were and that was at the TOP.

His running is something we really miss since Kev injury. This helps Bernado and Rodri a lot. Really happy for him!

He does kind of have that KDB stride doesn't he?

I’m trying to think of anyone in midfield we’ve had who’s had any genuine sprinters’ pace, going back to the start of this century.

Foden when he plays there which hasn’t been often in his career… then… Yaya on his big bouncing runs forward… that’s about it!

…none of them have/had any genuine pace, some have some speed (de Bruyne) but not sprinters’ speed.

Will become important for us over the course of the season especially with the number of games we have this season! Excellent attributes and can only improve under Pep!

 

[Dax777]

Once his technique and understanding of the tactics get up to par, hell become a starter.

He just brings more to the table than anyone else at CM other than Rodri.

Kova and Bernardo might keep him out for a couple of weeks, but once he is up to speed he'll be in the 11 next to Rodri weekly.


I have no doubts. The things he is good at can't be taught.
