27 | Matheus Nunes - 2024/25

He was great once again and deserves immense credit.

First half he creates that chance for bernardo that's blocked by going down the outside and cutting it back. He gives haaland the cross where he chested it and put it wide, he put in the ball for our first shot on target, he did his man down the outside again to give foden a brilliant opportunity which he put wide.

thats 4 very good chances hes created, he cannot do more than that, when was the last time grealish or doku or savinho or foden created that many chances in a game?

He created literally everything until Doku came on. Only attacking player worthy of his place right now.
I think you are being unfair to our wingers here. Right now, I would say Nunes should start vs Grealish and Doku, but our wingers are the least of our problems right now, and Savinho has been brilliant.

After Gvardiol, our wingers are the best part of our season (even though they are allergic to scoring goals).
 
He was the best creator today.

Maybe he can do that in the middle too?

Letting us play another proper winger as well and moving on a midfield player who isnt dynamic enough.
 
The best selling point of Nunes is that he can find Haaland in the box. Nunes has assisted 3 of Haaland's goals so far, more than some players for the entirety of last season. He is a better crosser of the ball than Doku and Grealish. I'd try him in midfield. Maybe he can feed the beast from there as well.
 
If Doku and Savio are playable.next game drop him inside behind haaland, he has played his way into being a starter atm and been good the last few games.

I wouldn't be against that at all.

He's pretty quick, willing to take a man on.

Haaland had 3 defenders on him yesterday because their defence wasn't too worried about our attack from the middle. Nobody was willing really trying to drive towards their defenders unless it was Nunes out wide.

Him behind Haaland might occupy their central defenders and midfielders a bit more and give them something think about instead of marking Haaland.
