8 | Mateo Kovačić - 2024/25

[Mr Grumpy]

is that the best try you can do for your claim? That ball was actually lost by Savinho and it was not a difficult ball plus it was an incisive pass into the box while 1:3 behind. what’s wrong with it? Another day or player it would be a goal threat.

I thought he was the guilty player, yes.

He's always losing the ball in those situations.

Playing right into a bunch of Arsenal players who happened to be some of the best interceptor midfielders in the league. Knowing Savinho weak foot is not good at receiving.

Yep that is a stupid pass

I don’t remember when there is not a bunch of Arsenal players in the box yesterday. That moment was actually a rare moment they leave an opening for an incisive pass. passing to a player's strong foot or not was not even a consideration in these cases. And there is less defence covering to Savinho’s right hand side. It was not a flying ball neither too fast or to far from Savinho. Savinho also had options to knock the ball to someone else with one touch pass. he tried to control the ball but the touch was too heavy. It is a chance/ risk we must take when 1:3 down. If dare not pass into the opponents box I don’t know why we go there.

This thread is so funny because when we win everyone is singing his praises and when we lose he's shit and out of his depth.

Truth is always in the middle. Quality player, not an ideal long term starter as a 6 for a Pep team Gets a pass from me cause he's far from our biggest problem.

 

[Blue_Lightsaber]

Trash!

Not a league 2 dm, nevermind a PL dm,

no way a CL dm, not even on the day of his fucking life!

Proves me right AGAIN AND AGAIN.

COMPLETE AND UTTER TRASH!

 

[Dr Jacoby]

WTF was that pass in the closing stages of the game?!

 

[VinceYoungisaBLUE]

Was shaking my head when he came on. No fight, no positivity, slow, labored, looks encumbered, etc etc

If he's our answer off the bench for midfield legs than no wonder we suck

 

[Brad mcfc]

Shouldn't be playing ahead of González

 

[SWP's back]

Another thick **** with the game sense of a fucking hot dog.

 

[the_invisible_man]

Gotta realise that pass is gunna put Lewis under pressure (who then poorly dealt with it). 2 mins to go just boot it out into the stands ffs

 

[Delphinho]

Largely at fault for both goals. Awful cameo

 

[clarion]

Turkish league
There are few better midfielders at Galata and Fener at the moment

 

[super_city_si]

What the fuck was that pass? What a fucking bellend. Move him on in the summer.

 

[CΛL]

Why did he bring him on?

 

[Mattyc55]

Rubbish

 

[Mr Grumpy]

He got the game absolutely wrong when he came on.

Instead of holding, he looked to push which caused the collapse.

Very poor.

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

Rodri made a number of players look half decent. He was one of the number.

 

[dronefromsector7G]

Always been hit and miss but at the top level it’s about 30/70 now

 

[City_Sean]

A terrible, terrible player. When you buy guys who are basically squad players you get a major downgrade in overall quality. The quality in our midfield is on the floor and he's a major part of it.

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

I can’t fucking stand him. Had no doubt that was what was coming on and there it was.

Again.

And again.

And again.
