Agree with that. Playing at the Etihad is also a bit of a double edged sword for him as the weight of expectation appears to weigh on him. He’s never going to be a direct replacement for Rodri, in my opinion, but he could yet flourish in a different system. With the next four games on the road, he may have the freedom to make his case away from the scrutiny of the home critics.I think he worries too much about being good enough..Je shouldn't. Just play your game the way you play it and we'll be fine
Thought he was too tentative in the few times he was present. But I did not think he was bad.

Put in a good shift today when he was unexpectedly thrown onto the pitch in difficult circumstances and with a shit ref not helping matters. Part of the team that helped us keep a clean sheet.
Hopefully he can start on Weds and we can see a full 90 mins. We will need his help with Rodri out the next three games.
Can see the usual negative lot using any excuse to slag him off. He was hardly going to be Rodri today, but I thought he did fine in the circumstances and probably needs some confidence right now.

Hopefully he gets a chance. But I think if Kova is healthy. Kova gets the nod next to Nunes. Hopefully, he is first off the bench and shows his true gameAgree with that.

Next 3 games makes or breaks his career at City.
If he’s not brought in to replace Rodri…he’s done.
If he’s not good enough when he replaces Rodri…he’s done.
Hopefully he has a couple of good games and this is the moment he’s been waiting for.

I think there’s a case for going with Kovacic, Nunes, and Phillips against Newcastle, where Phillips would have been earmarked to play anyway, and if that combination proves stable enough, deploying it again at the Wolves.Hopefully he gets a chance. But I think if Kova is healthy. Kova gets the nos next to Nunes
Do you think Pep plays him at the Emirates, I'm not so sure.Next 3 games makes or breaks his career at City.

No chance, pep has already said he can see Nunez in the DM role , that's what he will go with I think .Do you think Pep plays him at the Emirates, I'm not so sure.

Think that's a fair assessment
