27 | Matheus Nunes - 2024/25

[Dax777]

Miles better than Lewis

Its like comparing Zinchenko to prime R.Carlos

Zinchencko and Lewis are comparable.

I've honestly never found a player's standing among fans as confusing as Nunes.

Genuinely curious—do you rate him or not?

VOTE

That's because we have lost the ability to see nuance: you either think shit or great; right or left; woke or gammon.

He is a very decent player who has had a decent season.
He has improved as the season has continued and he has become more familiar to a position unnatural to him.
He is not a great player in the league of a 26 year-old KDB.
All successful teams have workers to go with the superstars.

He's improved this year undoubtedly. He used to be a player where he would do one good thing and follow it with a bad thing. Now he tends to do multiple good things followed by that one bad thing. His concentration is an issue, but less of one and for me, the fact he can run, gives him a skill set some of the team don't have.

 

[alexmcity]

Overall Nunes is better than Zinchenko at FB.

Can run and contribute in attack a lot more than Zinch. The latter was more popular among our fans but Nunes is the superior player.

Agreed, but for £53m I don't think the club signed him to only be a workman utility type player.

He's done well the last few months from where he was but for the money paid it's an example of a poor piece of business.

Spot on. He's basically a more expensive Sergio Gomez (who would probably have played quite a bit if he'd have stayed this season).

Hope Nunes plays tomorrow though - he deserves it on performances this season.

Gomez lost Pep's trust after that red vs Copenhagen away in 22 and never got in again unless we were 3 goals up.

Nunes is trusted far more.

Say what you want, but it's unforgiveable that he hasn't played today or against Southampton

 

[Greenblue92]

Couldn’t imagine saying this at the start of the season but he absolutely has to play that game

Pep inexplicably changing something that was working for a final ? where have I seen that before ? he's learned nothing.

 

[decmancity]

I assumed not playing against Southampton was for rest and not risk injury given he's our best RB and probably in the about for top 3 player of the season. But nah, shove a CB there instead.

 

[skillman]

Dropped for the past 2 games despite being really consistent and one of our better performers all season.

Shocking from Pep.

 

[samuelyeboah]

We need overlapping fullbacks for crying out loud I cannot watch out winters struggle to beat 3 men all alone why do we play akanji and gvardiol on the wings

 

[Dax777]

After so much hate he finally built himself up to a point where his greatest haters finally accepted he should be a starter.

Then Pep decided, yep! Right time to drop him. :(

Crazy how much better we are when he holds the width.

 

[Dax777]

Crazy how much better we are when he holds the width.

Both he and O'Reilly holding width makes us move the ball quicker and fewer CBs touching the ball.

 

[Irishblue93]

Can't believe he stayed on the bench while we watched akanji out on the right clueless for 100 minutes, can't believe he didn't even get 10minutes

 

[decmancity]

Problem was he got too far forward and scored the winner against Villa and Pep wanted the RB to be Akanji and just stood about outside the box acting like a traffic cone. Nunes should have known that really, none of this silly running forwards bollocks.

 

[DenizCTID]

felt very sad for him, this one to sit out will make a step back in his head after looking confident in his new role.

 

[mattcity5]

Played well first half. Started off getting stuck in as if he had a point to prove after the Cup final, then made a great block when Kluivert had a chance.
