27 | Matheus Nunes - 2024/25

[Dr Jacoby]

Stupid challenge for their second penalty but he played very well in the first half. He deserves his place in the side as much as anyone right now.

 

[Delphinho]

One of very few players that actually put in an effort

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

He is NOT a winger.


Play him RB, CM or any other position but not a winger.

I can't wrap my head around Pep not giving him a run of games in his NATURAL POSITION in the midfield.

Is he a downgrade in the midfield from what we've had in the past? OF COURSE, but how can Pep continue to watch Gundogan, Kovacic, Bernardo, KDB, etc., look like old men running backward when we're getting counter-attacked repeatedly and not think he could help us in that department?

 

[kunaguero10]

Regardless of the good things he does and is capable of doing, there is no doubt in my mind he is not at the required level

Had a fantastic first half. That pass to haaland was brilliant. Poor for the penalty but I'm not digging him out for that one error amongst a sea of them tonight when he was comfortably one of the few good performers overall. Been our best player for a month, deserves to keep his place in a fitter squad. Want to see him central but seems unlikely.

The bit in bold speaks volumes about where the squad is at currently. Not surprising we’ve lost the last three

 

[Damanino]

he is a CM, but Pep refuses to play him there. wonder if we had bought Bellingham, Rice or Paqueta would he stick them as well on left wing lol.

I think there is an element of him looking good as everyone around him is looking shit. He did well first half but went missing second half and then gave away a pen. He was pretty anonymous for long periods at Bournemouth too.

He deserves to stay in the side though as he has been better than others and should be moved into the middle as soon as Doku/Grealish are fit.

For 45 minutes

No it doesnt, he's been one of the best players in the entire league during that period, not just our best player.

He created more than anybody else in the entire league last weekend, in a team that couldnt get the ball, he deserves the credit without the backhanded compliment.

 

[Manc_Gullit]

He’s in the side to score/assist. He's assisting and creating chances, doing his job, and offering much more in terms of end product than Grealish and Doku.

Clumsy challenge last night, but things like that happen.

Personally, I think he’s been brilliant and can’t quite get my head around some of the negativity. We’ve plenty of other areas to be concerned about than Nunes.
