27 | Matheus Nunes - 2024/25

[Dialog]

Seems to have improved his physicality

I'm not sure how much of Nunes you watched when he was still at Sporting. The boy was ridiculously good, and his physicality was phenomenal. I was a huge fan then, and I still am!

Maybe a little overpriced but he has a skill set that is different from everyone else in our squad.

Based on what I saw him do at Sporting, £53M is a good price for him.

When he was at Sporting, we had the option to buy him for £40M, but we didn’t go for him—Wolves did. If you wanted him for cheaper, we should have gotten him back when he was still at Sporting, because we had interest long before Wolves did!

I'm sure someone posted about his dribbling/run style being similar to agueros, he really does run like him

Great performance and the CL suits him because it has a lower benchmark for fouls. He still needs to improve his physicality, but you can't question his mindset or commitment. From being eaten alive at Molineux last season to making a critical challenge, which was a physical one, which led to us getting up the other end and having the chance to win the game.

Last night he was superb and involved in a lot of our best moves. You could see the emotion in him, the want to impress. And you can see the other players enjoying the fact he's having his moment in the sun. That's a good sign. Based on Gundo's form for us so far, I'd much rather see Nunes in the side ahead of him personally.

I’ve always said Nunes has never really impressed whilst also thinking something is there.

Hopefully he is in the second season where it clicks for some players.

 

[Pollock's Deft Backheader]

A black mark for his girly scream when he was fouled for the penalty.

It will absolutely destroy him if pep doesnt start him Saturday

It would be one of the worst decisions Pep has ever made as a manager. And I seriously mean that.

If he doesn't warrant a start after last night's performance then he may as well pack his bags and leave.

 

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

was really good, need a left foot runner under or overlapping more. (both winger probably do) was lots of space round the outside of em

 

[Fred_Quimby]

I am not alone in thinking how much he has improved on last season. Last night was the best I have seen him. One of the best players on the pitch.

 

[Mike N]

I’d not appreciated how quick he was until last night.

 

[IrishBlueSince92]

Surprised how good he was playing left wing.

Seems versatile, remains to be seen if he can play a 6 (doubtful) or even 8 role.
