Nolito - 2016/17 performances

No one else has mentioned Nolito's performance on Friday but I was really disappointed.

When I saw him coming on I was rubbing my hands, thinking that his mad desire would be exactly what we needed to keep our foot on their throat. I thought he'd sprint out of the blocks and really keep the pace of the game up.

In the end I thought he really slowed the ball down, took loads of touches, looked hesitant and he didn't really do anything.

Guardiola has been going on about our need to move the ball faster, and when I saw nolito on the ball yesterday that's all I could think about - he's slowing us down.

Perhaps that's why he's not getting game time?
 
Ran around like a blue-arsed fly in his cameo at the London stadium, to almost no effect. He has been better than that, and he will be better than that. A fine squad player, definitely not a first choice for the first eleven, in my opinion.

I think he provides us with a balance that we lack when he's not in the XI and as such we function better as a team with him in it.

Hopefully Jesus can provide the same balance.
 
People are overlooking the fact that 6 goals and 4 assists for us in less than 1000 minutes is a remarkable return.
