BBC say 72 minutes which gives him 18 minutes and 4 minutes of extra time - 22.
It was 100% 76 minutes. 3 minutes added. 17 minutes in total.
I made the point in the first game of the season up 3-0 at WBA and Pellegrini brought on Nasri and I think Demichelis leaving the lad sat on the bench. Apparantley his time would come though. Fast forward 5 months and he's still a last resort for the manager. Started on Saturday but was the first player hooked after 50 odd minutes. 0-0 at home to Norwich at half time and it's him who comes off, despite the entire team performing poorly.
There's managing a player and just being a complete dickhead. Give the lad the same respect and the same opportunity as he'd give to Bony, De Bruyne, Navas, Sterling etc.
Sad thing is no matter how well he played today he'll still be on the bench for the next league game, or lucky to make the bench if Bonys back.
It's all a bit of a farce.
