27 | Matheus Nunes - 2025/26

[Champions Again Ole Ole]

I keep telling my mates he's the best right back in the league and they laugh at me. He's solid every single week and gets assists. He's my current favourite city player by a mile.

Nunes, Nunes, Nunes

Not sure anyone anywhere did, even himself.

He’d never played RB before Brentford away on the 14th January this year, ever before in his career.

I’d be hard pushed to name two better right backs around at the moment.

I would add that he played a few games, out wide, when we were particularly shite last season, and was our best player in at least a couple of those.....before being stuck at RB. The hardest part of playing at the back if you haven't played there, is that the only 'bail out' for a mistake is the keeper (or poor finishing) unlike mf, where Rhodri and then the CB's can cover.

 

[City_Sean]

Genuinely outstanding. Can't remember a single winger whos got the better of him this season.

 

[Don Karleone]

I wanted an actual RB before the start of the season, but I also said I'd be okay with him carrying on. There were signs that he was growing into the position.

Buzzing for him.

 

[youngbob]

Fantastic again today.

Can't believe this turnaround.

Weired that all last season, everybody thought FB's were the biggest problem (never was) and we needed to buy a couple......and here we are, with two m/f's at full back, and the 'proper' one we did buy, isn't as good as the young No10 playing there!

Livramento who???

We needed midfielders!

We seem to have Nico, Cherki, Reijnders and Doku in the middle along with Foden now.

Didn't have that last season.!

I know!! ......but most people were hellbent on FB's.

 

[bondsman]

Outstanding today. Got to stop defending corners by facing wrong way as he did for the disallowed goal but is the most improved player in the league.

They also thought Kovacic was able to cover for Rodri..

Kovacic is not even 20% of the DM Nico is and the evidence is clear as day.. but people have agendas to push!

 

[Blue Hefner]

Fucking brilliant today. Wonderful

 

[HoneyMonster89]

I think Khusanov would have got a run at RB had he avoided injury. He was in good form.

But Nunes has taken advantage of the situation and will likely keep his place.

The way Gvardiol is playing.. Khusanov might take his spot sooner rather than later!

And I'm not doing agenda.. I'm talking strictly performance!

 

[samuelyeboah]

With all due respect. Speak for yourself only. I for one saw this coming a mile away. And it wasn't that hard.

some people were saying this *2 months ago*. that's how long it took for them.

 

[Nevizade]

One of the first names on the teamsheet. I always thought there was a player in there somewhere but never expected this.

Nunes! Nunes! Nunes!

 

[blue_danube]

Fair play to the lad

His days looked numbered as a midfielder here. Got moved to a position he probably had no business being at considering he's had no experience there and being trusted to do a job there with no experience for a team looking to win titles.

He just got his head down and worked hard and it's paying off.

He'll do for me.

 

[Lost in space]

Played some absolute blinders this month hope it continues as he is looking the part.

 

[Beanhead]

I’m so chuffed for him. He’s learning a new role on the job, but he’s an athlete.. has recovery pace and understandably not as naturally defensive minded as Walker, one thing he kills him at is crosses, every time he’s in the final third I think fire it in lad. Was thinking it before the faint today, then bang, goal! Has a great delivery.
