Maybe. After Mbete’s return from last season’s injury, just hasn’t been the same to me. His distribution from the back isn’t great, makes more mistakes now, not so great under pressure.
I know he’s young and can still improve. Only stating what I saw in the EDS season gone by. Earlier I stated that when CJ was moved to CB, he’s the one who looked like a CB you’d see in a City team.
Nonetheless, the lad is a unit. Still very talented. Watched Doyle in the last two England u19s. Did pretty well. Another season in a decent team under a good coach will help his development.
