Imagine had we rushed him out the door only to see this evolution in his game.

So happy for him. I think this is one of the few times in Pep’s history here he’s named back to back starting 11’s. I am all for rotation but I hope to see the same 11 vs Leicester after the break.

More a reversion than evolution.Imagine had we rushed him out the door only to see this evolution in his game.
Pep attempted to shoehorn him into a centre forward role when history and his attributes pointed to the probability he would play better from a wider position.

Explosive, dynamic, good on the ball. Some of us new there was a player there - we've just not been using him correctly.
Could be a huge season for him, breakout.
You forget he's still only 24 as well, feels like he's been around for a decade.

Great game again yesterday. Is it me or is he bulking up a bit?
Two appearances away from his 200th. 83 goals and 37 assists in that time.Explosive, dynamic, good on the ball. Some of us new there was a player there - we've just not been using him correctly.

Please keep proving me wrong.
Although I was partly right, you're not a striker.

I think there's an important lesson that can be learned here, that should apply to other players too.
No matter what you think of them, every City attacking player under Pep is SUMPREMELY talented. Ok they don't always show it, and they're not helped by being in the presence of other brilliant players, but the talent IS there. In Jesus's case for example, it was always there.
Mahrez, Foden, Bernardo, Jesus, Sterling, Torres, Gundogan, De Bruyne, and Grealish. Whether you think they're world class or just ok, they've all got aspects to their games that put them towards the very top percentiles of all footballers in the world in said aspects. Some are more obvious than others, but they ALL have at least one thing special about them. We should remember this moving forwards.
Might also be worth noting in the transfer threads too. It might be why we're not settling on just any forward; if we buy someone they have to be special in some way too.
