27 | Matheus Nunes - 2023/24

[greasedupdeafguy]

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!

Kovačić
Perrone
Phillips
Rodri
BSilva
Delph
Gündoğan
de Bruyne
Lampard
Fernando
Fernandinho
García
Rodwell
Nasri
Hargreaves
Milner
DSilva
Vieira
de Jong
Barry
Elano
Fernandes
Giovani
Ireland
Johnson
Hamman
Dhabo
Musampa
McManaman
Reyna
Bosvelt
Negouai
Sun
Barton
Berkovic
Benarbia
Håland
Whitley
Horlock
(am I missing anyone?)
…none of them have/had any genuine pace, some have some speed (de Bruyne) but not sprinters’ speed.

How can you forget Pizarro

[Second Skin]

His performance tonight reminded me of Paul Lake. Quite rigid but glided across the pitch

 

[skillman]

Fucking mint. Yet another shrewd bit of business by the club.

Also has a handy knack of being in the right place on second balls I noticed.

 

[chris85mcfc]

Fantastic debut and you can tell he's got loads left in the tank in terms of improvement

 

[Blue and true]

Already in love with him. What a fucking player.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

He's got it.

 

[Goater=Legend]

Hes a baller

 

[OB1]

Very solid contribution. Looked at home.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

As far as full debut's go that was examplary , didnt put a foot wrong and looked a great partnership with Rodri , apparently the Dippers wanted to sign him , life is full of regrets you scouse bastards.

 

[Silva2021]

Reserve my judgment as a lot harder tests to follow, plus playing alongside Rodri (he could probably make me look half decent).

However, did not look out of place at all.

 

[kenbelly]

Very good debut, he’s going to be a great asset this season.

 

[Sibierskii]

Nice.

 

[abu13]

Looks a player, give him a year under Pep and he will be outstanding.

 

[TrentGrisham]

Very promising.

 

[freshie]

Really impressive full debut. Will admit I felt he was an underwhelming signing but will be more than happy to eat my words if he can keep up this level of performance

 

[JewelZee]

Fitness level off the charts. He was still sprinting about the pitch in the 90th. Took two guys on to win the free kick which got us in front. A box to box type who can carry the ball. I thought he combined very well with Doku, Rodders, Alvarez, and Phil...In Pep and Txiki I trust...

 

[Eebo]

Him and Doku looked like they had been playing together a long time rather it being their first game together.

 

[PragueBlue]

Very decent debut. Hopefully a sign of things to come.

 

[rodders]

Happy to have him onboard. Steady start and he has that air of quality that I expect we'll see more of as he settles in.

It'll be a 60+ game season. He'll have his time to shine.
