87 | James McAtee - 2024/25

He has to start against Watford. If he doesn’t then he needs to go on loan in January.

I completely agree. I mentioned it in the Nunes thread, but I really wonder why they weren't brought on for Gundo or Bernardo today.

Pep brought on 4 subs and they all played OK.
McAtees time will come

Not enough attacking subs, IMO. Keeping Bernardo and Gundo on was bizarre. It's not like McAtee is the type to lose the ball, either.

Kovacic had to come on and Grealish and Foden came on.
McAtee will get plenty of game time before the end of the season.

 

[Keeper!]

He will get 90 minutes against Watform as will Nunes and co, time for them to shine and give Pep a nudge.

If Rodri is our for any length of time he and Nunes will be getting lot's of minutes.

 

[KDB4ever]

Looking forward to seeing him play against Watford.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Excellent first start and he could have easily had two assists. So composed on the ball.

He looked a bit rusty at times, but that’s expected considering he hasn’t played all season and was playing as a false 9 at times.

Needs more opportunities in the first team.

 

[BlueDejong]

MotM for me, really impressive.

 

[Gabriel]

Tired in the last ten minutes but worked hard on and off the ball. Needs to play again soon because we cannot afford to have him and Nunes not playing for weeks on end.

 

[jollylescott]

Played really well. He nicked the ball for our first goal, and he put in a phenomenal effort defensively. Well done James!
