27 | Matheus Nunes - 2024/25

[B\connellblue]

Please don't compare Nunes to Phillips.

Phillips technically was way off not only our level but top PL level, Nunes is avery good technical player, will he make it in our team, not sure but he is a very good footballer regardless.

Pep doesnt seem to think so.

 

[lightning Rodri]

Showed fight unlike last season.

 

[Kamaro011]

Good cameo with that tackle, preventing possible goal.

 

[blue44]

Got an hard time off their fans.
Fair enough.
I'd happily give him back to them if they'd
gives us half or even a quarter of the money we gave them.

That tackle was fucking beautiful.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

I don’t rate him at all. That being said, Gundo and Bernie have been shite since the start of the season. I don’t think Nunes could do any worse.

 

[footballmanager]

good cameo

 

[youngbob]

Another good cameo.

 

[WallyA]

Needs to get minutes mid week with McAtee.

Tired of seeing Pep overplay Gundogan, gotta give this guy a chance in the midfield.

 

[Blue_Lightsaber]

IMPACTFUL SUB. Far from useless!



Great tackle.. good shot..

Did more in his 10 minutes than some I will not name!

 

[MCFCFanTX]

He brings athleticism (and physicality today, eh?) in the midfield that we don't have. He's not a control player but I'd play him more to see if pep can "catch lightening in a bottle". Clearly has talent and specific qualities.

 

[samuelyeboah]

As long as he is the only midfielder we have capable of running he should start

 

[Chak19]

I know Pep knows more about Football than everyone else alive, but surely he knows that we need some legs in midfield, Nunes is the only CM that provides that, he needs to play more at least against the lower table teams.

Yeah I completely agree.. even Wolves goal or the one they almost scored.. it came from our midfield press being slow!

There was a time Man City press was best in the league or the world and other teams couldn't breathe.. nevermind hold the ball or play line breaking passes.. but seems to be happening too much lately.

People always blame goal keepers or defenders for goals conceded but the actual fuckup is almost always further up the field.

BTW that tackle today.. that was Rodri-esque.. maybe even better.

 

[Goater=Legend]

He must of impressed in that cameo to at least get more game time.

Atm teams are just running through Kovacic and Gundogan.

Yes our press is nowhere near what it was, so we need to have some cover in midfield, Kova and Gundo just can't cover, I'm not saying Nunes is Rodri but he needs to get a chance.

 

[WestGorton]

Power and pace. We need it.

He must see something in training day to day that we don't. He looks like he has the ability and has put in some fleetingly good moments with the minutes he's had but the gets abandoned for several matches at a time.

Maybe he doesn't follow Peps instructions well enough, who knows.

Yet Pep brought him on at a critical moment with the game in the balance. His last cameo (vs West Ham) was also impressive

Yeah but why hasn't he played more or come on earlier? That would be the obvious question.
