Joshua Wilson-Esbrand

Looked very comfortable last night, reminded me of Jordi Alba the way he was bombing on and looking so composed in the final third.

Hopefully there's a chance to get him involved in an 'easier' league game and continue to start him in the cups.

Possibly not the best of our current academy players but the key point is he is a natural LB and I have been banging on about this for ages. Its been an issue for us for most of the time I have been watching city - arguably the most specialist outfield position given you need to be left footed, quick and able to defend. This should be a top priority for our youth set up.

This lad looks the part. Positionally he clearly wants to get forward and join in and he looked quick enough last night. He's got to be worth a run of games to see how he fits in. And its also worth saying it would be madness if they didn't sort out a new contract given the opportunity he has.
 
Deserves a chance, its poor from the club if he doesn’t get that. He will sink or swim. Might save us 50 mill next season.

Biggest thing is that he has a good physique and is not tiny like many of our previous full backs from the academy.
