Never been so undecided about a player. Mint going forward, takes risks, brave on the ball and with his running and is absolutely rapid. But he doesn’t have the luxury of just being an attacker under Pep and seems to be wank at the ‘pausa’ side of his game. Odd one.

I like this guy, he is something different, he clearly has a lot of confidence in his ability and is starting to toughen up a bit.

A rough diamond but lot's to work with.

City need a broad range of players.
Think that he may score goals "ghosting" through when opposing teams are knackered ?
Definitely a player who may score vital goals in the final minutes..

He is definetly worth keeping it is just whether he does have enough quality to really challenge

Can we really have the former, though, if there is even a hint of the latter?

He might get into a position to score but he'll most likely miss them.

Some lovely stuff today from him, he's getting it more and more as the weeks go by, think he will become a real asset for us.

Really ????

Squad depth is key and he is doing a lot better than a certain Kalvin Phillips. It is whether it is enough to really make an impact and whether he does it in the bigger games is the question. For me he is worth another season and not sell him in the Summer.

My thinking as well. He looks like he prefers the ball played ahead of him. Also like to run. Not sure where to play him.

I know where to play him, from the bench and bench only, and Pep will also know this deep down

You’re not setting the bar high there. Why not Rico Lewis?
Squad depth has to mean more than 624 league minutes, 3 complete games (one of which was when we were down to 10), and 2 assists. His full games have all come at the Etihad and we only have Wolves and West Ham yet to come, and his only start away in the League in ‘24 was at Everton. Unless our contenders implode, we might not see him start another game, making a fuller judgement harder.

Come on blues I know we back our players and absolutely want them to succeed but the guy is nowhere near it.

His highlights today were giving the ball away for their goal and falling over every 5 seconds.

He’s average and he doesn’t fit our style.
