8 | Mateo Kovacic - 2023/24

[EdersonsSmiley]

Much closer to his early form last night. There were a few sloppy giveaways alongside Jack which could have cost us against better opposition.

Too slow, doesn’t get into the box enough, doesn’t score enough goals for my liking. Ah, how I miss the early Gundogan threads.

 

[Saddleworth2]

Played better last night.

 

[Belgian Flash]

My man can't shoot to save his life. Otherwise brilliant

 

[NikT]

Played well yesterday. Everyone knows he can't finish but either than that he's a perfect Pep player.

Kinda surprised he`s carrying/running with the ball so much. In my memory he was more of a "passing machine" . The way the season is developing & with KDB return he (& Nunes) will struggle for game time. Atm Bernardo, Alvarez, Foden, KDB are ahead of him.

Your post makes no sense pal . Kovacic is a totally different player to all the ones you have mentioned. When KDB is fit again him and Rodri will flourish because of Kovacic,s style and job within the system.

ur onto something for sure, i initially thought club bought kovacic basically just to supply kdb, carry out the ball to him, create a space for him, whatever makes kev to create a magic on the pitch. i feel like when these 3 gonna play with each other, kovacic might get one of the highest number of pre-assists in the pl

There's no such thing as a pre-assist. More nonsense. Where does it end? The player who kicks the game off is responsible for everything that follows?

Maybe don’t compare with Gundo etc. Mateo is an excellent squad player. Started season well, got injured, getting fitter, understanding Pep more, looking better. He’ll play his part this season, make no mistake about that. Good, solid addition. Good luck lad.
