we're a different attacking force with him on the pitch, should have played more so far and we wouldn't be 5th imo. Needs to play every game he can now. Him/Sterling/Jesus/Kun are the front 3 in rotation for the rest of the season for me.
Difficult for pep to play him when he's been injured.
he has some of the time, not all of the time.
He's only not played twice if you exclude injuries and games coming back from injury - and one of those was Swansea when he'd only been here 3 weeks.
He came into the season injured and missed preseason, he's young and was making his first big move, and Gaurdiola has managed him absolutely perfectly in my opinion. He's improved massively in his involvement in the team since the Arsenal game, as Pep said in his Post-match presser.
Has an air of confidence about him now & also the workrate has gone up considerably from his early peformances, when he was a bit half arsed.
If we had started & played through the season with him, GJ & Vinny, 100% fit, I don't think we would be behind Chelsea now.
If we can just find some world class defenders, the future, with these lads plus the academy kids, looks absolutely awesome.
And there is a thread slating Txiki for not finding players.
