Nico Gonzalez

[jairzinho]

Not sure what to make of him. He has good physique but hardly makes himself imposing. Reminds me of a young Javi Martinez, at least build wise.

 

[ajnotkeith]

It is worrying for me that even in a game we are completely dominating offensively, he has had 0 impact in the attack

 

[jamrock]

He needs to slim down a bit are learn to be more mobile with his current physique.

 

[ajnotkeith]

He has good short passing but that's pretty much all I can see from this game. Very slow and bad pressing, doesn't win or try to win headers, doesn't make any progressive passes, it is hard for me to see what he's contributing.

Spanish experts are praising him.

Might be wrong, but Levante play so openly & we are dominating the game, he still hasn't managed a vertical pass. 0 interceptions, 1 tackle, 0 headers won, 0 long balls, 0 key passes, he just isn't involved at all.

 

[ajnotkeith]

Better last 20 minutes, good in defense

 

[Andresito]

Flawless 2nd half.

 

[jamrock]

Gold game.

He will come good. That combination of stature and technique is a great asset. Good game today

3 dribbles, 4 tackles. Brings balance to the play

Better than I expected.

2nd half big improvement. Liked his defensive contribution then.

Very interested to see the lineup Koeman goes with against ATM and who he will choose in midfield.

 

[JamDav1982]

After nervy first 20-25 mins grew into game and was playing well and physically more than enough for this level.

Some wee flicks also.

Reminded me of Arthur tbh

Would like to see him start against more testing opposition soon. He looked pretty good in that 2nd half but it's not hard to circulate the ball when your team has 80% possession and is dominating the game. In the games like Bilbao where we found it tough to hold the ball and were getting pushed, those are the type of games where u can see if a midfielder has a talent for circulating the ball and keeping tempo.

Really liked his defensive work in the 2nd half. Made a few tackles and interceptions and used his frame more. Needs to attack more like Gavi.
