Who was number 5? Expansive passing range. Liked that.
Matt Smith and he is having a fabulous season playing in a variety of roles and excelling in them all.

There is one aspect he needs to improve & that's finishing, which I include final ball.
At least 5 or 6 of those positions on the vid, should end with a City player, in front of goal, with a nailed on scoring opportunity. The equivalent situations, with no final ball, would be below Navas level in a Prem game & he wouldn't be popular at all.
You would expect Aguero, Pep, Jesus etc threatening to kick his head in if he doesn't pick the pass, will be enough to solve that, as there is no question he is good enough to do it. Once.he solves that consistently, he's ready to go.
Can't disagree that he needs to improve in that area but in game after game at the moment ( if fact pretty well whenever I have seen him play) he is frightening the opposition and is scoring and setting up goals and chances. He could do even more no doubt but the lad is a serious talent and next season he has to be involved with the first team.
Think that's a bit unfair, look at what Huddersfield are for Mooy - Playing the right football and getting games, we even rejected a 8m offer for him in Jan!
I would have no qualms sending out best youngsters to them again if they can contribute and earn a place in the side

He's a huge talent with a bright future but he too is still very young,only just turned 17 in November.Matt Smith could be a dark horse to go on next seasons summer tour. He's tenacious excellent passer vision works really hard I'm really impressed with him!
