8 | Mateo Kovačić - 2024/25

Don't think he's good enough to play that holding role. His work off of the ball is lacking.

Also, today it backfired but he's the player the opposition allow a shitload of space on the edge and that usually works for them. I'm convinced Bernardo could do that job better.

i’ve never seen a player score 2 goals and get so much crap.

he’s allegedly playing w injections, broke a toe during the inter milan game.

surprised we've not seen the Kova/Stones pairing as yet. That would be my answer for now but probably means dropping Rico which would be a shame.

Beautiful second goal. Developing a handy trait of finding space on the edge of the area. It was hit shot vs Arsenal which we rebounded.

He looked fucked at the end, though. Hands on knees at every break from 85 minutes onwards.

He could do with a partner in midfield. Either one who’ll sit with him (Stones or a stay back Gundo) or one with energy (Lewis).

Teething problems while we figure out being Rodri-less while will be ironed out.

Go check out some of the old Sterling, Mahrez and Džeko threads sometime

he is our midfield right now and has been giving his all, you cant ask for more really. its on pep to provide him better help

Weird comments. He's carrying the midfield at the minute, but he badly needs help, he was gassed last 10 minutes. Superb effort.

Agreed. He was a bit sloppy on the ball a few times, but without him we don't win today.

He’s bang average imho and the reason our midfield looks poor. He’s in that pivotal role and sadly not good enough at it even more sad is the fact he’s our only option if Pep won’t play Brenie there

Proper footballer.

Love him.
