Almiron can say his finishing was like Grealish's before this season...

Finally got one

You must be baffled why Vestergaard isnt in the running for Ballon D'Or.

i didn’t say centre halves had to be extremely tall so no.

If height is as key as you keep making out it obviously is. Unless of course you have a maximum height to go with your minimum height for the ideal "body type"

Rooney covered so much ground in his career I can't believe that post above me is serious.

He was a striker, he was not a midfielder he was just so good you could have played him anywhere on the pitch and he would have survived.

When "body type" is seen as any way relevant you know ACTUAL gameplay is irrelevant.

Only a lunatic would have picked Nunez over Haaland. Haaland is a generational talent and with the amount of chances that City create he was always going to score tonnes of goals.

Nunez has done fine so far with five goals and three assists in 11 games (700 minutes). Missed some easy chances but he's creating plenty and getting into those good positions, you'd be more worried of he wasn't getting into good positions. Once things click and his confidence returns he'll score plenty.

He's also been a bit of a victim of Liverpool playing awfully for the first few months of the season where even Salah looked poor.

Either way I'd say Antony would be a better comparison this season as both have very similar careers before coming to the PL, similar age and similar fees. I couldn't tell you how he's done this season though.

Probably because Antony was signed much later in the window as well. I definitely brought up the comparison on here though.

Nunez has played a fair bit from the LW position this season because of the injuries so it's probably a fair enough look so far.

And we can go see the Fidget Spinner meme for Antony. I wouldn't get to bogged down by those though or people who seem to get agitated by them or use them to mock others.

If either player is helping their team through goals, assists, creating chances etc then they are doing fine.

So now we know that you dont know "good in the air" and "height" arent the same thing.

Explains why you stick with meme analysis.

Its know as the Wan Bissaka effect . Im joking

Martinez is a good defender ,In my opinion he's not quite up there with the very best in the league but he is a good & very steady & his good attitude seems to rub off on others ,He's a upgrade on Maguire & Lindelof ,

Here's a good question who's been better Martinez or Botman , I think its Botman but the Man United player will get the eyes

Nunez has a league goal every 138 mins this season so far. It's his debut season in the PL and is relatively inexperienced in top level football.

If he scored goals at the same rate over a full season playing every minute, he would score 25 league goals. And that's without taking penalties.

Assuming he plays the same games:mins ratio for the rest of the season and he scores/assists at his current rate, without any improvement, he will finish on around 21 goals & 10 assists in all comps.

He is currently missing chances alright and his conversation rate is not where it should be. But all strikers miss big chances. Haaland himself missed a couple last night, Kane misses big chances too. Nunez is getting scrutinized now because he doesn't score alongside the missed chances. But he was before the World Cup. I'd be lot more worried if he wasn't getting into that positions regularly.

If this is his him when he is bad, well I can't wait to see him when he is good.
