27 | Matheus Nunes - 2024/25

[Leroy Leroy Leroy]

Please give him more minutes Pep. He could be an important piece for us going forward

 

[TonyM]

More effective than Bernardo recently.

 

[nellyonthewing]

Nice balance tonight with him and Savinho on the flanks.

 

[Alvin-blue-qhd]

Run!Nunes!Run!

 

[Keeper!]

Delighted for him, I still think he will become a very good player at our club.

I was very impressed with him last night Even up to half time.

He definitely needs more playing time- a good footballer in there for me.

 

[mancboy]

his delivery into the box was excellent last nite to be fair and he worked hard and tracked back.

 

[ChicagoBlue]

It’s clear what the team think of him, and Pep said the only thing missing is that “his manager isn’t giving him enough minutes!”

I’d say that’s a win!

 

[oldius]

I very much hope that this player is yet another who proves that immense negativity towards players recently arrived, or after very few opportunities, is often misplaced. Good luck to Nunes and well done for recent performances, including last night.

It will absolutely destroy him if pep doesnt start him Saturday

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

Guess you’re right about being an extra body but if can maintain a consistent standard over such a long season it will be great for the team and him.
Compare and contrast to Phillips who also was a squad player but never ever looked capable enough

Oh yea no doubt - he's miles ahead of where Philips ever was. I didn't count Philips as an 'extra body' because he was simply nowhere ever near capable of playing for this team. Completely useless

Agree start of gundog ,

 

[Mike S]

There’s definitely a great player somewhere in there. Needs more game time. Hopefully he will be in the starting eleven against Southampton.

I think Saturday will tell us a lot about his future at City. His cameo against Wolves, his performance last night, plus the sheer number of injuries we have, should mean he is a nailed on starter at the weekend. If that doesn’t happen, then I don’t think there is any hope for him here.

 

[oldius]

I have just seen this posted about last night:

100% successful dribbles

100% tackles won

7 recoveries

8 duels won

 

[shevtheblue]

Seems to have improved his physicality somewhat, but you could see he wasn't completely comfortable out on the left (understandably) but still put in a good performance. The fact that he seems to have a good recovery engine would probably help us more in the middle right now tbh, we have been turned over a lot and as shown the other day against Wolves he has the running power to get back into position that Kova and Gundo obviously don't. So the question is, shouldn't he really be in the middle in some of the games alternating with those two?

 

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

His confidence must be through the roof today.

 

[Akira]

Took the pen like the ball owed him money.

Excellent performance. Deserves a start in the weekend imo.
