8 | Mateo Kovačić - 2024/25

id like to see him and Rico in that area, Rico with the pace to help Kova in his defensive duties, and then have others in the defensive side.

Either that or let someone else do the Defesnive midfielder role that has bloody pace!
Rico and pace don’t go together. He looks slow when running back. That’s the problem with the whole midfield. They are too slow.
 
In contrast to Rodri, Kovacic can only receive the ball with his right foot and it was noticeable from inside the stadium that Sporting were deliberately pressing him in certain situations where he needed to take a second touch

This caused his yellow card just before Halftime and ultimately prevented him from taking one for the team in the build up to their second goal.
 
Think he’s ultimately not good enough to play for city imo. Doesn’t mean he can’t have a good performance or do good work or score a goal or that he’s not a very good player. Just feel like he needs 3 touches when a city player should need 2. This season is stitching him up a bit and he’s playing in a role he’d rather not play but dunno. Generally unconvinced and think we should look to move him on in summer
 
i actually can't see him play anymore. may as well play with 10 man
 
What a player, he hit the ground running and hasn't stopped, the only midfielder we have at the club who can be relied upon to have a good game week after week.
 
Won't win fuck all with him starting, plays well in moments but defensively doesn't have a clue where to be.
 
The only player who looked like he had any quality in that second half and he created our goal, yes he's not a 6 but it's not his fault.
