Matheus Nunes

[Matt]

OK mate, I'd say his performance when he came on at Anfield wouldn't have put them off! You seem to be just assuming that someone else has a logical argument for their opinion, rather than just having a rant at a quality player. I'll leave it there for now and maybe we can rejoin the discussion in May to see if the point was correct.

And I'd say his performance against them at Molineux may well have put them off. But both of those are just isolated games. You seem to be just assuming that others are just having a rant at a player rather than having a logical argument based on watching him play nearly 20 games for Wolves, so it goes both ways. You are entitled to your opinion and others are entitled to theirs, and both are valid.

 

[Warrington_Wolf]

He’s done OK - take the strong opinions at either end of the spectrum out of things and he’s been OK.

He’s yet another one who hasn’t stepped up and contributed the goals and assists we need if we are going to stay in the league. But at times he looks a class above most of the team.

Surrounded by better players he would flourish, but that’s no comfort for us now in the situation we are in.

 

[Northampton_wolf]

I think Nunes looks better in a midfield 2.
Maybe because it gives him more space to operate in.
In fact I think the whole team generally looks better in one of the systems with a midfield 2.

4-2-3-1

Sa (still needs competition)
Semedo Collins KIlman Bueno/Ran
Neves(mouts) Nunes (Lemina)
Neto Podence Sarabia
Cunha

Yep, that kinda thing.
Or 442 with 2 of RAN Traore and Neto on the wings.
Even bring Dawson in and 343.

However I suspect we’ll mostly stick with 433.

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

2 players with more than 1 goal (one of them the CDM)
1 player with more than one assist (Moutinho)

I hope Podence can carry on contributing and Sarabia and Cunha can give us more of a cutting edge. For all the arguments about the defence and midfield it's pretty obvious where the real problem is.

 

[BarryM]

Not played very much in his best position (as a more traditional number 8), Lage played him far too high up the pitch.

Is he struggling because now he is getting the ball where he likes it but has nothing ahead of him to work with? Yesterday for example, Adama just stands there, Hwang runs round like a headless chicken and Raul is more often than not in a position that helps no one out on the wing or coming deep in to midfield.

 

[Flaneur]

Couldn’t have said it better myself, and as for the goal… take a bow, son

[Wolf in Kenilworth]

Welcome to Wolves Matheus.

That’s what we’ve been waiting for.

 

[Tring Wolf]

He’s shown glimpses in other games but today was the first time it came together for a full 90 minutes.

As good an all-round performance as anyone has put in this season. Quick, determined in the tackle, carries the ball superbly and genuinely two-footed.

The goal was alright as well.

I said on the other thread. With a full season under his belt here, I reckon he could be our most influential player next season.

Nunes playing much better when he isn't stuck on the left wing who would have thought?

Played right wing most of the game

 

[Bognor_Wolf]

Played right wing most of the game

He did and how much more natural was he on that side of the pitch? He also tucked in a lot making it a midfield three and a lot of his best work was when he did that...

Played exactly the same way v Liverpool

 

[Wednesbury Wolf]

How typical that he looks like he's found some good form then immediately gets a bad injury.

 

[Polish Wolf]

Do we know he got badly injured though? I thought he may have been exhausted, was carrying something (hamstring?) but after all he was not taken on a stretcher.

Fingers crossed he’s okay.

Best game from Nunes so far.....now he needs to show that in every game.

 

[WWFC4EVA]

I can only assume that the Cunha reaction was one of total disbelief!

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

I thought it was a bit of a ruse to use up time.

 

[Mugwump]

I've always been a huge fan of Nunes. I'm hoping this isnt a false dawn with him like we saw with Trincao a few times.

 

[Jamwolf]

Any word on his injury ?

All but confirmed to be staying with his quotes here:

Nunes | 'Next season they are going to see the best of me'

Matheus Nunes insists there is still more to come and admits he has ‘not shown anything yet’ as his first season at Wolves approaches its conclusion.

Is this the same as reading we can't afford to take up Semedo's 2 year option???

Where have you been for the last 48 hrs dude?

This is directly from the club the semedo story was e&s

 

[Wignall 3-0]

Perhaps with Neves and Moutinho gone Nunes will come good next season. More central and forward, he could be a playmaker and goal scorer. Lemina the sitter and B Traore box to box.

Traore ahead of Pitbull after his great performance again today?…the kid is gonna be a star for us.

 

[Olivergoldblack]

Nunes looked more determined today when he came on, a few driving runs forward. Maybe hes got something to prove? I've been very critical of him, but hopefully he can be a key player for us next season.
