Felipe Rodrigues "Morato" da Silva

[Bobby The Brain]

Im honestly not even worried about losing Murillo.

When we have possession, he’s our quarterback, we play it around the back 4 but it always falls on Murillo to make the forward pass. The ball he played for Neco down the line in the first half was world class, not just for a defender but for a footballer.

He’ll be a huge loss if/when he goes.

Him and Milenkovic give me Burns/Lloyd sort of vibes.

If I don't get you, then he will.

I could imagine them psyching themselves up by headbutting each other.

There was an amusing moment off the ball I noticed yesterday where Watkins had the ball, Morato followed him out and after Watkins had played it on he tried to stop Morato getting back into position. Morato absolutely floored him, and Watkins didn’t even look angry

His passing yesterday was particularly great.

 

[Notcher]

Is it me or was he noticeably more aggressive yesterday?
Maybe trying to take on Murillo's role, but he seemed to spend more time 10 yards higher up the pitch getting in their face.

Nuno said in his post match interview he was trying to usher players back but they ignored him. In fairness to him he said he was glad they ignored him

Bumping this thread. What a beast.

It’s no surprise we had absolutely zero Benfica fans coming on here when we signed him, he’s like the Wood to Vlachula’s Shelvey.

He is just basically a defensive dead-bolt.

BRICK WALL.

We legitimately have three of the best CBs in the league.

 

[Ashley]

How much did this lad cost again?

 

[valspoodle]

I kept saying we needed big CBs after last season. We now seem to have them in spades. Terrific.

 

[Listen 'ere young man]

1 goal conceded in 256 minutes he's been on the pitch unless I am mistaken.

Glad he got chance to shine from the start today.

Given how much of a soft touch we were last season, it seems insane to think that we've got arguably one of the best defences in the league now.

Hard to believe, but the proof is right there

You are not mistaken.

This Forest defence sure is racking up some points for me in my fantasy football team.

I wonder if Morato has false front teeth?

 

[Est.1865]

The run continues.

Loved when he first came on today, chat with Murillo, bit of a smile/laugh, cool as you like.

They ain’t scoring…….

 

[Rzar]

That is the thing... I have never been so confident watching Forest defend on the edge of their own box. There is almost no nerves in the ground anymore.

When we are in the lead on 70 mins & Morato comes on - it's game over

It is no just Milenkovic & Murillo that are world class, Morato is the icing on the cake & takes the load of them at the end of games.

It's a crazy turn around. Last season we were basically having a panic attack whenever we had a to defend a corner.

Now, I barely even get worried. One of Murillo, Milenkovic or Morato will sort it. Everytime.

 

[GaribaldiontheExe]

Just goes quietly about his business. Love him

 

[Rzar]

When we sell Murillo to Real Madrid for £100m, we won't need to spend a penny to replace him

He is like a clone of Milenkovic

 

[Listen 'ere young man]

How many minutes on the Morato cleansheetometer now? I've lost count.

 

[Strummer]

Can you imagine, if you polled up at a nightclub, and two doormen were Morato and Milenković?

Yeah, you’d behave.
