There a pecking order why Macteer didn't start! Nunes has this season to establish himself? Maybe Nunes is happy at playing minimal time and that's fair enough! I'd try Nunes on the left because the two times he has played there he has put in to quality crosses..

The good thing about Nunes that many are happy to overlook is that he is a versatile player, can play in the middle and on the wings. Pep likes versatile squad players. If we lack fresh wingers, say after a big CL game, Nunes can play there. If we have injury problems in midfield, Nunes can be used.
Nunes's main issue is he isn't great in small spaces. McAtee is better in this respect and will get chances.
He definitely looks better in the wide spaces and on evidence is one of the better crossers of the ball in the squad, excluding KDB who is at his own level...There a pecking order why Macteer didn't start!

Don't see him as more than a sub.
What he appears to be good at is receiving a pass with his back to goal and beating a man with a quick turn and bombing forward at pace -which is something we rarely need. He also can put in a decent cross from the left in certain situations. I’m not sure he fits us at all -though I’m certain Pep knows better but we just haven’t seen it.
He is a fantastic player. Intelligent, quick, hard to dispossess and fleet footed.
Again, our system sucks for him. He'd be a star playing for Liverpool. He makes so many early runs and our guys just ignore it and continue their turgid sideways passing.
The one time Rico made his kinda run, he found Rico. Why? Because he knows to expect such movement.
Generally, our guys just ignore it and continue with the turgid sideways passes mostly dominated by Centerbacks

Right. Savinho is about 10 then. And Yamal about 7.
Now you’re just being silly mate :)

There’s no way you can conclude he’s “fantastic” without being either mental or wumming.

That's what your silly point deserves, mate. McAtee is about the same age as Doku, and older than Savinho, Lewis, Bobb. He turns 22 in about 2 weeks.
Age doesn't matter for Pep, what matters is the quality. That's why Lewis is often preferred to Walker, or Doku to Grealish.
Both McAtee and Nunes will get chances to impress. Both will be needed.

Nunes is shit mate and that’s the end of it.
