I just love watching a young city fan play for us..it feels different to watching a foreign player..or even a player who we have brought in from another club..Well this is very old news.. We were targeted similarly when we had Delph playing there .. and Zinchenko.
IMO O’Reilly is a better player than either of those two. Certainly has a higher ceiling..
I’d love to see a midfield three of him, Nico G and RodriLet's not forget he's not a proper left back, he's just filling in there for now. I think he'll develop into a top midfielder when he gets the chance to play in midfield.
He's not but I'm not sure he'll be getting a shot in midfield anytime soon so he'll have to become one to see regular minutes for us.Let's not forget he's not a proper left back, he's just filling in there for now.

I agree. I also think McAtee has a future in midfield as long as he keeps improving and making an impact on games.I’d love to see a midfield three of him, Nico G and Rodri
I think OReilly will be happy he's getting regular starts at LB but I think it's only a matter of time before he gets starts in midfield. He's too good to stay at LB like I said earlier.He's not but I'm not sure he'll be getting a shot in midfield anytime soon so he'll have to become one to see regular minutes for us.
This seasons midfield is the worse it's been under pep, you have to imagine we'll sign midfielders this summer, hopefully get a fit Rodri back and you'd expect better from Gonzalez as he settles, that's going to make getting a midfield berth mext season, significantly harder than it is now.
I can't see how Gonzalez is any better than this lad.He's not but I'm not sure he'll be getting a shot in midfield anytime soon so he'll have to become one to see regular minutes for us.

Yaya O'Reilly , perhaps ?Let's not forget he's not a proper left back, he's just filling in there for now. I think he'll develop into a top midfielder when he gets the chance to play in midfield.

De Bruyne won't be here next season, Bernardo Kovocic McAtee and Gundogan may no longer be. Plenty of room in midfield for OReilly next season.The midfield is packed
I think there are 3 positions in Pep's midfield
DM ( Rodri , Nico Gonzalez)
CM /organsire ( Gundogan , Kovacic )
playmaker ( KDB, Foden, Bernardo,Mcatee,Echeverri )

Agree.What a great potential
Should definitely be happy to be getting minutes right now wherever but I'm not sure why you think he's going to get minutes in midfield when the competition goes from the poorest it's ever been to hopefully with the right recruitment, the best it's been for a while.I think OReilly will be happy he's getting regular starts at LB but I think it's only a matter of time before he gets starts in midfield.

I assume it’s how Pep wants them to play. All the complaints here about his defending are the exactly the same ones people have about Josko when he plays there. I think it’s pretty clear we’re never going to have a textbook LB.Agree.
I'm not quite sure though what was going on yesterday defensively at LB. O'Reilly was frequently high up the pitch leading to dangerous opportunities for Palace and to one of their goals. Maybe Pep told O'Reilly to play that high or maybe O'Reilly - who is not a LB by trade - needs some time to get used to the position.
Anyhow, great talent.
Because O'Reilly is a midfielder.Should definitely be happy to be getting minutes right now wherever but I'm not sure why you think he's going to get minutes in midfield when the competition goes from the poorest it's ever been to hopefully with the right recruitment, the best it's been for a while.
If he's training and playing as a left back, pep is going to see him as a left back more and more. In a weird way he almost needs to fail as a fullback to get a shot in midfield.
So was Rico Lewis, So was delph, so was zinchenko, until they wasn't.Because O'Reilly is a midfielder.
