8 | Mateo Kovačić - 2024/25

[B\connellblue]

He can't be blamed for that shit show. Only bit of energy in the team today.

 

[ninjamonkey]

I don't doubt that it's not his fault but it's not working and I don't know what we can do.

I agree it's not working, that's clear for us all to see but it's not his fault it's not working. His individual performance tonight was high, to the point where he was our best player.

you can recognise the problems the team has whilst separating the individual effort, deserves no criticism tonight.

 

[Lavinda Past]

Probably our most consistent player over the past few weeks. One of few who has earned his wages.

 

[stan bowles]

MOTM today - not a very high bar but he was.

 

[madloaf]

Good today. At least looks like he's interested in a forward pass

 

[Keeper!]

I thought he was superb, a captain's performance and attitude and superb skill to go with it.

I already think this guy is class but last night showed he really cares about this club.

 

[Akira]

One of our brighter points the past few weeks.

 

[M23 Citizen]

At least Kovačić understands that if the goal is >>> that way, we need to run, dribble and pass >>> that way. There are a number of others who fucking don’t.

 

[waspish]

Mint on the ball if it wank

 

[Blue_Lightsaber]

We need an actual 6.

I know you guys don't wanna hear this but even Perrone over in Serie A is an upgrade on Kovacic defensively and that's where Kovacic is terrible although good at control/ bringing ball upfield/ setting the tempo.

If we don't think Perrone is good enough yet, we need to spend in Jan for an actual 6 - zubamendi or whoever.. it seems we want a DM who's 6 foot 3 like Rodri but they are kinda rare!
