Villarreal CL GW3 (A) | Man of the Match

[waspish]

That was Nunes best ever game for us as was Savino but I’m giving it to Nunes because he was quality for 90 mins

 

[hateutd]

Haaland,then Lewis and Nunes ....

 

[AirbagsOptionalTheReturn]

I went for Bernie as he was hard working and got a goal, however, Nico would have got it if he did not go off injured and Nunes was not far behind them. Shout out to Lewis, I don't rate him at RB, but he was neat and tidy in the centre and played well

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Nunes by a mile.

 

[bluetonium]

Bernardo. Left back, sweeper, midfielder, goalscorer. His contribution to this city team and teams of recent memory, is unfortunately often overlooked.

 

[laserblue]

Nunes for me. Good to see he's finding his best form.

 

[Hgblue2]

Savinho for me, excellent assist, great ball to Lewis for Haaland’s goal, unlucky not to score what would have been a quality goal, and ruined the full back all night.
I’m amazed some can’t see his obvious quality,

 

[moggymoz]

Nunes was outstanding, he's also been my player of the season so far.

 

[Zenmanc]

Nunes. There’s an exceptional footballer there

Yep, and a few have been saying so for more than 2 games as well.

 

[alexmcity]

Savinho for me, excellent assist, great ball to Lewis for Haaland’s goal, unlucky not to score what would have been a quality goal, and ruined the full back all night.
I’m amazed some can’t see his obvious quality,

After criticising him for months, some don't want to admit they might have been wrong.

Nunes had a really good game. Maybe his best yet. Nico Bernie and Rico were good and made up for their stature with skill and workrate. Savinho offers a bit of a paradox to me. Whilst he undoubtedly had some real highlights, his involvement in both goals was very good, he is inconsistent losing the ball or making a poor decision. He is still very young and he will get more consistent. Doku was marshalled pretty well all night. I thought Josko looked a bit ring rusty but John played well. Erling was Erling supercharged in the first half. Loved seeing him sprint back into defence then back to press their defence. Superb. I voted for Nunes.

 

[Kinkys Left Foot]

Gonzalez was outstanding, truly Rodriesque or Rodri-light whatever you prefer. When he went off after getting his foot stamped on earlier by the alleged rapist we went down a level and started conceding needless possession which resulted in chances.

Got to give props to Nunes and Savinho who also were good 8/10's. Peps (whichever one you want) coaching looks like its starting to pay dividends, all 3 now looking like City players.

Loved our first half performance, passes had zip and we maintained tempo throughout. Second half not so much. We are getting there though and if we can turn these 60 minute performances into 90+ then we are where we want to be.
It was nice of the media to give the title to Liverpool or Arsenal in fucking September, lets prove to them what fucking nobs they really are and that a League season lasts 38 games not 6.

I said Nunes would be busy in pre-match thread, and so he was.
Handled everything that came his way and even put in a couple of crunching tackles.

 

[IronsideKozuch]

Nunes was outstanding, he's also been my player of the season so far.

thats a stretch, even if a noble one;) I mean first of all you have Haaland, whose been entirely outstanding, secondly Nunes basically has been on the bench until the Arsenal game because Khusanov been playing

 

[jimharri]

Nunes and Savinho, first and second in a MOTM poll; who'd have thunk it?

The world is about to end!
