27 | Matheus Nunes - 2024/25

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

Bollocks and you know it.

Bollocks and you know it.

He’s far from shit, he’s a brilliant player but sadly not a brilliant Manchester City player.
It happens. Some players, regardless of individual ability just don’t fit into how we play and I think Nunes probably comes into that category. Not too dissimilar to Cole Palmer in that regard.

Nunes if he hasn't already needs to get a talking to like this:



I really want to see better press from him.

Palmer scored a few and looked the part before we let him go.

Literally no comparison whatsoever, mate.

My point was Palmer is a bit of a maverick who wants to play on the front foot. He’s not disciplined enough to work in a Pep team and isn’t going to put in the defensive shift often needed from our front players.
Nunes is a bit similar in that regard, loves to be on the front foot but struggles with the all round game that’s needed to be in our starting 11.
Palmer had as many anonymous appearances for us as he did eye catching.
I’ll stick to my initial thoughts that both are very good players but not very good Manchester City players.
That’s my comparison.

Nunes is a player that I never regarded as being up to the quality that City require, & I've seen little since his arrival to change my mind.

Moreover, I've also begun to sense a little attitude from him, as if he's pissed off because he deserves to be playing more. He does. But alas, just not for Manchester City Football Club.

An expensive mistake. We need to cut our losses & move on which I can see happening next summer.

Good player, wrong team, mate.
I think it’s that straight forward.

Depends on your definition of good. He's certainly not good enough for City imo...

Without wanting to repeat myself, I think he’s a very good footballer with bags of ability. Those abilities don’t translate well for a City side so yes, he’s probably not quite good enough for City but a good player nonetheless.
I didn’t think it was that confusing.

Minimal game time today but made a vital challenge near the end to stop them having a shot in the area.

Hope we see more of him soon personally. His energy and pace would be good to see and I think would benefit those around him. Especially Haaland.
