8 | Mateo Kovačić - 2024/25

[Roachy]

Going to be a very important player for us this season, no nonsense style of play keeps the ball ticking over.

 

[Nevizade]

Liverpool away last season seems to have been the turning point for him. Been excellent since in almost every game.

Came on tonight. Best player on the pitch for me in the second half.

 

[Hungarian blue]

Came on tonight. Best player on the pitch for me in the second half.

This type of game suits him, where the opponent presses high, and he can just bypass and dribble through it easily.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

You’d think if either Kova or Haaland goes down injured our season would be look pretty grim.

 

[Brewster's millions]

Looked like a top player tonight when he came on.

Certainly offering a lot more at the moment than Gundogan and Bernado, who I thought did nothing when he came on.

 

[K-Bo]

Hmmm..

 

[chris85mcfc]

Was never brought in to play as often as he is currently playing, even more so given he's in there on his own.

Another who is not at City levels to be playing this often, and it's really starting to show now.

 

[Goater=Legend]

Being asked to do two jobs. Left on his own in midfield

 

[OrigamiNinja]

He’s not great but he never was. He is a perfect understudy for Rodri but he can’t replace him for 50 games a season. I don’t really want to criticise him too much because there’s other midfielders who are playing absolute turd in comparison.
