Nunes can score. Grealish doesn’t and doesn’t get as much hate. It’s crazy. 2 goals 3 assists. Season but ya be attacking the guy who is trying his best to be the player we expected him to be? He was one of the better ones yesterday. He is not Messi, Ronaldo. He can only play as good as the team and he did his job. Honestly he needs to start for the rest of the season. He can run which is even more effective with KDB and he has a good physique. Right now people can talk him down as much as they want he is doing his job.
 
That’s also because we’re sorely missing Rodri’s ability to play through the lines.

You could see KDB pointing at where the runs should be going last night.

There needs to be a huge collective head wobble and etch-a-sketch reset. Minds are scrambled at the minute.
I noticed KDB doing that yesterday. Our midfield was so static when we had the ball. KDB is always thinking always looking for that pass, Like David S, but others need to make the runs.

I think KDB is in quite a grumpy place at the moment, so he was probably exaggerating to some degree, but he wasn’t 100% wrong.

Our movement is so slow and predictable. Nunes is the only one to be unpredictable, which is good and bad, just like with Doku.

We was 3-0 up when KDB came on
 
Undroppable.

Even with everybody fit, Id pick him to be Rodris partner. He is Gundogans heir.

That duo would have height, physicality and steel.

Nunes can then push higher when a defender goes next to Rodri.
 
Sadly Nunes offers no more in midfield, wide. forward or defensively than an academy player with potential.

We've never even seen him in midfield, which is baffling given how awful ours has been this season.
 
It was refreshing seeing a midfielder get back to block some shots and crosses for the first time this season even when he was poor going the other way.
 
He played the last game in midfield.

What does Pep do?

Back to the wing you go.

Peps treatment of players like this does more harm than good.

Just let him be in midfield and add legs.
 
Just like Alvarez last season on Anfield. He deserved to start but he didn’t use this chance.
 
Piss poor today. But at least was willing and always appreciate the defensive element. Can surely take gundos place?

He might be the kind of athlete we need in the middle, but his passing has never been good enough. He's quite lazy, too. It's all well and good getting back and making one heroic tackle or block a game, but you need to do it consistently.

A huge mistake of a transfer. He's shown far more than Phillips but is just as unsuitable for what we need. He has stepped up a little this season, so credit to him. But he can't be here next year if we want to get our title back.
 
Great effort to get back and block that chance.
But looked out of his depth otherwise. Didn’t do anywhere near enough to trouble Alexander-Arnold
 
Nunes neither adds legs nor commitment lacking desire without offering any creativity or goal threat. Time to go.
 
Should have started centrally in midfield. The only midfielder left with some pace, mobility and ability to cover some ground. You’ll never see Rico, Bernardo or Gundo making that last man block against Gakpo or Diaz or whoever it was at the start of the second half
