27 | Matheus Nunes - 2025/26

[samuelyeboah]

Best game in a City shirt? Had Vini under total control all game

he's had better games in a vacuum, but he hasn't had a bigger challenge than tonight's and he passed it for sure

 

[youngbob]

MOTM for me.

 

[Dax777]

How did we wind up in the Nunes thread?

I was under pressure. Didnt realize i was on the wrong thread :p

 

[Goldust]

I think the best thing we could do is give him a new deal and the security of being a mainstay in the team.

 

[JewelZee]

Now what? Still waiting, are we? I said I'd be here. Where are you mate? Out looking for Vini? You won't find him anywhere on the scoresheet...

Sensational tonight.

He’s won me round slowly but surely. Has a few crazy moments but that’s because he’s not a natural defender.

Credit to him and Pep for making him into a pretty fucking good right back

I think we all need to remember Walker was prone to a fuck up or two over the course of a season.

 

[Lavinda Past]

Best 'non-right back' in European football.

Class.

 

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

We can nit-pick but I thought he was superb and has an attitude that some of our other players could pick up on.

 

[Dax777]

Perhaps I am now allowed to compare him errors to Kyle Walker's. Now that he too can now say he has put world class wingers in his pocket. :)

Not that this ability was ever in doubt. But seeing is believing. No lie :)

 

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

Excellent tonight to be fair to him!!

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Best 'non-right back' in European football.

Class.

Better than Haaland? ;-)

 

[MCFC1993]

Not a right back but doing enough to hold it down, gave Vini Jr too much space but was absolutely worried about giving him space behind.

His spot is safe until we sign a right back.

 

[Skrastins]

i'm really happy for him

i don't know who is more improved - him or Doku, both has improved a lot

 

[waspish]

Been great this season and like all players made a couple of mistakes

 

[Akira]

Thought he seemed nervous at the start coming up against Vini Jr, but grew into the game and dominated Vini Jr.

[Dazzle84]

He's a testament to hard work and knuckling down. He makes the odd mistake, but so do life long full backs.

If you consider his defensive ability in comparison to someone like Trent Alexander-Arnold then Nunes is streets ahead

 

[Bluewonder]

Apart from being 6 inches away from giving away an early penalty he had a good game last night, but he needed one after an average showing at Newcastle and giving away goals against Leeds and Fulham.

Vinicius shoots at Nunes arm = Nunes fault. The state here.
