Having watched him quite a lot in the EDS I'm going to be slightly bold and say while yes that was a good debut, he by no means played to the best of his ability. To me at least he seemed unsure of what to do, whether to commit to runs or try to come deep to get involved with play (chalk this partly down to some players were hesitant to pass to him). Honestly though that has nothing to do with skill, more the situation and experience. He is actually better than what we saw tonight.

Impressed with him today, thrown in at the deep end and handled it well, unlucky not to score too.
Needs to hit the gym and pack on some muscle though :)

Iheanacho leading the line with Pozo and Lopes playing behind him looks exciting for the future.

The best things about him getting on like he did today, firstly he was trusted by the manager when it would have been easy to send on Dzeko, give him 45 minutes, and then put the young lad on, good management, and he stuck with his plan for Dzeko, by giving him the half an hour. Secondly he's had to play out of his natural position for the team, this will be appreciated all round by team mates and coaches, and thirdly it will be real encouragement within the EDS that if they are good enough, and the manager trusts them, they will get their chance, even in a tough game.
Good all round, apart from the reason he had to come on obviously.

Am I the only person who felt sorry for the young lad ??
Time and time again,especially in the first half,Pozo was denied a free attempt at goal and Nasri by passed him.It was as though he had no confidence in him which ultimately resulted in young Pozo being shown a blind alley.
I have high hopes for this young man and hopefully this performance will go a long way in showing what a talent we really have .

Nope, I noticed Nasri ignoring him too, if Pellegrini trusts him so should his teammates. I thought he did well seeing as lone central striker is definitely not his best position.

Good post, I agree.
I thought everything he did tonight screamed "YOUNG PLAYER". Many of the other players were hesitant in passing to him when they would have given the ball to Aguero and Pozo didn't know sometimes whether to stick or twist with his run.
His movement was a bit "all enthusiasm, no brains" and he should really have scored with his chance. It was less to do with Howard pulling off some kind of world class save and more to do with Pozo not really being composed and attempting to lift it a bit.
He's much better than what we saw tonight and given more game time he can be an important player for us
