8 | Mateo Kovačić - 2024/25

[TonyM]

I love Kovacic. Especially his running with the ball. But he makes stupid decisions sometimes. Same as Gundogan, Bernardo, Gvardiol, KDB, Foden, Haaland, Nunes, Akanji, Stones, Ederson, ....

 

[King Jay]

No left foot as a CM is crazy to see

 

[MCFCFanTX]

Was that Yaya or Kova for the goal?

 

[Haaland94]

our most important player this season

 

[chris85mcfc]

Great 2nd half

 

[Blu1]

our most important player this season

100% he makes the odd cock up but he plays all the time alone in midfield.

He deserves a lot of respect from blues

 

[tackeds]

This guy gets a lot of shite on here but for my money he’s solid in defence, has covered for some massive absences this season and has delivered goals when they count. Long live Kova.

 

[vanchi]

your shit, brainless, steaming pile of shit

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Someone needs to start a petition to change his name to Kovamessi.

 

[Bluewonder]

Great on the ball, poor off it.

He's our best midfielder these days, though.

Kova did have a Nick name Croatian Messi when he was teenager :)

 

[ninjamonkey]

Rodri-like performance in that we needed somebody to step up and he decided to be the man to do it when the players infront of him weren't doing it. Been our entire midfield all season.

Said this plenty of times before but we haven't just lost Rodri in midfield, we've lost kovacic too as he cannot play his natural 8 position and there's nobody like him in the side either. We bring in a proper 6, we get a 2 for 1 as we get kovacic the 8 back too.

 

[WallyA]

I think he and Bernie should stay, to help with experience for the next generation to come.

They still have legs and can play well deep in the middle.

Add in someone like Ederson, Wharton and Rodri fit, then the midfield should be good to go next season.

They are about 4 years younger than KdB and Gundogan, whom should probably go in the summer.

 

[Keeper!]

A player who does not get the respect he deserves, without him we would be up sh1t creek.

I think this is a wise comment. Doogie Luiz gets my vote

Yep good going forward but still a horrible 6 as Brugge had like 6-8 quality chances.

Hope we can get a 6 in and play him in his natural position.

Kova toure

 

[Akira]

Excellent goal to spark the comeback. He's been solid for us and deserves more respect.

 

[MCFC1993]

Just don't like how he plays for us, doesn't fit the style or role required. That said, his goal was a very important moment and he is all we've got at the moment.

His dribbling is the best part of his game but I'd trade that in for recognising danger and better passing if we could.

He was one of 3 I called out for their passing at half time with Akanji and Nunes. The stats won't show it but whenever those 3 pass the ball, it's ridiculous how often the intended target has to check their run or go back and fetch it.

 

[supercity88]

He's doing his best and working his arse off for the team. He can't be blamed for the fact players ahead and behind him aren't performing. A wonderful goal. Some of his passing still frustrates me as it's often a little bit behind the player and not as crisp as it could be, but he's been one of our best players this season.
