Iheanacho needs to be starting games

[Marvin]

Ridiculous that he wasn't involved last night

Why is Bony ahead of him, especially for a game which would have been very valuable to him for his development

Pellegrini is not thinking of the future of City. We see that with Toure and young players. The team is stagnating as a result

Tbh, although I can't be doing with Pellegrini at all when it comes to young players, I can see the sense in keeping Nacho & Sterling out of the game last night, IF it's because he wants both of them available at 100% for Sunday, be that off the bench or starting. Both kids would tend to leg it around a lot in a game like last night & maybe not be quite as fresh at the weekend.

What I can't then understand is why Aguero wasn't on the bench & Wilf told to do at least 45 mins, as we didn't actually need to score. And quite a few of his other selections for similar reasons.

We'll see at weekend I suppose.

If that was his plan then fair play to him but I'd bet my mortgage that (if fit of course) Aguero will start on Sunday, possibly Bony as well and if not starting then he'll be off the bench before Kelechi. Aguero is obvious and speaks for himself, but it's became very apparent that Bony is way above the pecking order than Kelechi is and I can't fathom that mindset.

Wait a minute guys, it's obvious that he's just being 'managed properly' is it not?

I mean he got about 20 minutes at Carrow Road only 3 days prior, we wouldn't want to tire him out eh?

Unbelievable. He might be young but he's genuinely already a much better asset to us than Bony and fits much better into our system. Whenever he plays, he contributes.

I know I shouldn't be surprised with MP doing his usual shite but I was sort of hoping Kelechi would START yesterday with Aguero on the bench if required, never mind be left out of the entire squad purely based on his age.

There's two ways of looking at it, either Pellegrini prefers his senior pro's and regardless of the situation they will automatically be above youth - which to me is bizarre. Either that or he just thinks Bony has been performing better than Kelechi and was more likely to do us a good turn off the bench should he be required - and if that's the conclusion he's summed up from this seasons performances from each of them then it explains why we're underperforming so much. Either way, he's got it wrong.

Wouldn't surprise me that Ian has let it be known he's unhappy with his time on the pitch and Pellegrini has put his foot on his head and pushed him down the pecking order. Sterling looks thoroughly pissed off at the moment too, two young hungry players with pace and energy to burn sitting it out at the expense of useless shit like Bony. Said it before there a number of players who cant wait for him to fuck off, the Garcia's have been stunted by this clown also.They are not playing for him its so evident.

Hopefully so Bony can be sold on. At least other teams can see he's alive. He's not going to get much of a fee mind.

Criminal that he isnt utilised more. Hopefully Pep will see the talent that the rest of us see and play the kid.
