He really is & seemed to be asked to do a lot of high pressing up.front today which he did brilliantly as well as tracking back out wide.

His fitness has taken a huge step forward. Early last season there were questions about him lasting 90 minutes. I noticed last week he ran a lot & he's carries that on. He's potentially as good as his namesake and I can give no higher praise

Yes he does look fitter.

I doubt he can keep this intensity going every week but hopefully won't need to.
 
Incredible finish really, not an easy one at all. Grew into the game when he went wide after Mahrez was subbed.
 
He’s absolutely mint.

Has got better the longer he’s been with us.

23 still.

I fucking love him, he doesn’t lose the ball!!!
 
Finish was reminiscent of Messi, just a casual sweep of the left foot, like it was the simplest thing in the World.

Love the guy, his attitude, personality, ability, everything.
 
Excuse the comparison, but he was reminiscent of Ronaldo (the one we don't like) today. Didn't get up to much, but scored a goal nonetheless thanks to his ridiculous ability.

They say the best teams win even when they don't play well. And assuringly, it looks like the best players win games even when they don't play well either.
 
not involved as much as I would of liked today but when he was his talent stuck out like a sore thumb a player of year candidate for me the way he's improving.
 
Pep asked him 2 come back & he has been magnificent.

I can see him starting more games than Dave.

15-20 goals this year he is class.

Separated at Birth?
 
Very excited to see his inevitable transition to our false 9 striker, his finishing is unusually simple for him, like Messi.

I think with Mendy back we might see the false 9 more prominently, meaning we can play with inverted wingers.

This means Jesus/Sterling on the left, Bernardo central (with Jesus as back up) and Sane/Mahrez on the right. This is of course after senior players are gone, so we have something like this for the future (Starter first, backups after)

Sterling/Jesus/Sane-----------------Bernardo/Jesus-----------------------Mahrez/Sane/Sterling

----------------Brahim/Foden-------------------------------------Kev/Bernardo/Mahrez
-------------------------------------------Gundogan/Zinny
Mendy/Delph-------Laporte/Otamendi--------------Stones/E Garcia-----------------------Walker/Danilo


Ive heard many city fans say when Aguero leaves we definitely need to buy another striker, I don't think so. Bernardo (or even Sterling) can play a false 9 role very well to facilitate our goal scoring wingers. I think this help with Brahim and Foden too because they can compete directly with each other over the vacant CAM spot that Bernardo wouldn't be playing as much (and because David is gone).

Also think Gundogan is better in the DM role so that's why I slotted him there.
