His touch and decision making has never been world class, but he was such a smart player for us, his movement was always excellent, and he never went missing. That's why Pep gave him so many chances. Only a few minutes to see him tonight, but he looked absolutely lost.. Even in his terrible games for us that was never the case.I really like him, but my god the last 10 games or so he's absolutely stunk the place out. Looks like he's lost a yard of pace, so he can no longer use that burst of speed to get past players. I hope Potter can work something out with him but it's not looking good. His movement is garbage, his decision making is garbage and he rarely controls the ball quickly, always needing an extra touch or two, by which time the opponent has already closed down any dribbling/passing lanes. Sigh.
Raheem is the ultimate confidence player. Pep drive him on to heights he will never achieve again. His work rate was always great for City but he is not a gifted player.His touch and decision making has never been world class, but he was such a smart player for us, his movement was always excellent, and he never went missing.

Hall looked decent and if it wasn't for Ortega having a blinder could've had 1 or 2. Never seen him before but he looks a talent.
Why on earth would you be glad to be out of 1 if 4 competitions you could win.

I've got all the time in the world for him and hope he gets back to his best (ideally in the next week in time for the world cup), but I do suspect we got his best years out of him.Not gonna lie, when people were shitting on him in the summer, I just thought it was City fans being a bit bitter that he wanted to leave, but everything you lot said has been spot on so far.
If not for a bit of composure it could've been a different result, cracking player you have there!Played well. Lost to the better team. Love Lewis Hall, would have been nice to see Omari Hutchinson. Glad to be out of the efl cup though.
