The question is: is he gonna get the game time he needs with Fern, Gundogan, Bernardo, Merl, Mahrez, Sane, and Sterling playing?
You can chuck Brahim in there as well.
Take the wingers out because they're largely irrelevant.
Our designated CMs are:
- De Bruyne
- Silva
- Gundogan
- Bernardo
- Foden
4 competitions, suspensions, injuries, rests, I dare say he'll get more minutes than any other 18yr old in the PL, and more meaningful mins than he got last season.
TBH, I'm just gonna enjoy the fact that we have him and let Pep worry about how many minutes he needs. At the end of the day he's progressing and getting to the point Pep will feel he can trust him to start in some PL games.

He's getting way more game time/exposure under Pep than Thiago was at his age and he molded him into a world class talent. The sky is the limit for this lad.

Very impressive yesterday.
Ideal being fifth choice lol. He won’t even make the bench most of the games then. And if we sign one more DM (Weigl/Veratti) he’ll be even further down as Fernandinho will be prioritized in front of him. And I’d be absolutely shocked if he gets more minutes than Sessegnon.Take the wingers out because they're largely irrelevant.
Our designated CMs are:
With Bernardo sometimes playing wide or as a False 9, Foden is essentially 4.5th choice in CM, which is about ideal atm imo, I wouldn't feel secure if he was outright 4th choice when injuries & age could be a factor in 2 of the remaining 3.
- De Bruyne
- Silva
- Gundogan

He will but I predict that he will flag in the premiership if they rely on him too much. The correct approach with a 17-18 year old is to ensure they have responsibilities but no to rely on them to win games.

Agree he’s strong on the ball but will tire. 10-20 starts and involved in most games is plenty.He will but I predict that he will flag in the premiership if they rely on him too much.
