8 | Mateo Kovacic - 2023/24

[PALESTINIAN HEARTED MANC]

I really hope he is fit enough to get some minutes in Newcastle game. If not mistaken Pep said he is likely to be ready for Newcastle?!

 

[Sporting1906]

He has been such a good signing, especially for the price that he cost.

Just imagine if he got in Peps hands when he was younger….

City should look to form some sort of partnership with Dínamo Zagreb in order to get a higher chance of coupling the biggest Croatian talents from them. They seem to be the only club in Croatia who consistently produces top talent.

Has grown a good understanding with Rodri , will be interesting to see how he copes being the main man tonight against the Geordies.

Pure class for 45 minutes, the geordies couldn't get near him. His round the corner passing and the continued movement afters is a joy to watch, we havent had that since losing merlin. Tired pretty quickly second half, also prone to selling himself a bit too easily which needs ironing out. Good to have him back though already a key player.

Should do better when he lost that ball but KP and Lewis shared the responsibility of losing that goal. It is his first start after injury so some slowness is understandable.

 

[meeesh]

Glad he got as many minutes as he did, need him now for next few games to show us what he’s made of

 

[EdersonsSmiley]

Signing of the summer as it stands. It's a joy to watch him dribble out of trouble.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

He looks good with world class midfielders around him but he isnt a game changer when he is asked to be the main man like the Newcastle game , still a great signing and will play his fair share of games.

 

[TrentGrisham]

I don't think he's a liability off of the ball but I think there's slim to no chance Pep play's him at DCM in Rodri's absence as some have suggested. I feel like this is the third time(once in preseason) that he's been completely left for dead by an attacker leading to a goal.

Yep. He missed having Rodri next to him that’s for sure.
