33 | Nico O'Reilly - 2025/26

[Gaylord du Bois]

He signed a new 5 year extension in September.

No Fiesta?
Seriously, I can see whatever it is gradually increasing it parity with the best we have.

Apparently he got a Ka second hand you need to be over 23 and playing at least in midfield to get a Fiesta.

Bringing it back, thought Nico has done a great job for England over the last two games.
However Nico do not overlap Rashford as the pass wont come back ;-)

Noticable all the anti City wanker journos gave him a 6 in the ratings, yet the main man who counts, Tommy Tuchel particularly mentioned his contribution.

Agree with resting him before RAN goes to afcon but I'd do it after Newcastle away. They're not great this season but at home they've been ok. After Newcastle we hit a favourable run of fixtures.

Totally agree- they also have the German Peter Crouch so Nico height could be handy

 

[Gingers Dad]

Twenty years old and two games into his international career and theres talk of Nico being picked for the WC. The lad is absolutely nailing it. Well done Nico.

Might be his worst game for us that. Constantly sold himself short, very easy to get beyond and was never in a position to block a cross. The first goal i lay most of the blame on him for a powderpuff clearance that gave them the chance to pick the ball up and go at us. Big day of learning for him, let's hope he does.

 

[Blue Hefner]

love him but we were in trouble the second he did that shit/lazy clearance just before their first goal

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Worst performance of the season for him. Probably one game too many recently.

 

[tackeds]

He was poor tonight with a sloppy clearance but by no means the worst performer

 

[Feed the Elk]

I thought he was very good tonight. Stood out in a poor team performance

Got nothing but love for the lad, he's had a phenomenal rise with next to no setbacks but I've got no idea how anybody can watch that match and say he was good. Got given the run around all game, everything came down his side.

Too many games for his age. I don’t think he played well for England midweek either.

Young players are inconsistent and he’d had a good run of games but there was always going to be a poor performance in there and he’s had two this week after looking top class for two games a week earlier for club and country.

Both Gvardiol and Dias were pointing and shouting to go back to Donnarumma but he tired that stupid clearance that lead to the attack for their first goal. Plus he was constantly out of position defensively.

He’s going to be great and I really like him, but he’s being overplayed at the moment.

Their first goal was his fault

 

[TShed]

Their first goal was his fault

Agree he made the wrong decision although defensively he did his job got to the ball and cleared the immediate danger. He did instigate the next Phase of play not sure on how much blame he should take
For the best part of the 90 mins thought he looked pretty comfortable and in control of his own game

 

[Dazzle84]

First (mildly) poor game in quite a while for him. He wasn't terrible but there did look like there was a bit of mental fatigue in his game yesterday

He was good. The 2 fullbacks were pretty good.

To be fair if he didn’t make the odd mistake (he’s barely made any) it would be kind of strange. I think we need to keep playing him and allow him to learn, not just drop him the first time he makes the wrong decision

 

[SLIDERLEEDS]

Can obviously play Cm, great engine.

At full back top drawer, physical monster, one on one.

MC one to build your squad around, WC starter England, yes, easy call.

NOR looks very good on recovery against opponents playing through lines.

Excellent player, good football IQ.
