I noticed him throwing his hands up in frustration when he made good runs and didn't get the ball, something De Bruyne does a lot too. I actually think that's a good thing, shows that he cares and really wants to make things happen. He's not passive and won't ever retreat into his shell when the chips are down
I thought the opposite. Thought it was a bit of a dick move. Seeing as on a few of the runs Ferran made, he, Grealish, was the one who didn't make the pass.

But hey still love what he brings
 
After he first signed, he was behind Sterling on the right (with Sane on the left), or Bernardo.

I don't think he's improved much and he's had good moments, but the other options have slipped, one way or another, and we rely on him now.

He is still very predictable and still not a great finisher.

He limits us tactically because he seemingly cannot play on the left at all. Plus with Sterling/Grealish on the left we've got wide players who are likely to cut inside usually.

And he's not young so won't improve now.

I do like him and back him, but as a squad player. Maybe when Foden is back we have some width on the left and maybe Sterling can go back on the right. Not sure what the best combination will be, but some will definitely work better than others. Give it a year though and we need to be easing him out due to his age anyway.
I 100% want to see Sterling back on the right, he is so much better on that side.
 
Not worried about him at all, what we've seen so far is very promising. Glad he got that goal today, doesn't matter how scrappy it was - didn't want him to have the goaless tag hanging over his head like Mahrez did for his first 6 weeks or whatever it was.

Kitman should add 5 more 0s to his shirt number going forward though. Just to save the commentators some breath.
 
Watched it under the influence of Sagres at a beach bar, so I might be talking shit...

But I thought he was very quiet in the first half and wasn't quite up to speed positionally - except for the goal of course.

Then he was given the ball a bit more in the 2nd half and settled in. Though one thing I noticed was he didn't beat Aarons very much.

Overall a 7/10 for a home debut and there's more to come. Great touch and very tough to dispossess.
