A future in the Championship it looked like. Anyone see anything different?

cheers

i thought he was superb on sunday when he came on. he didnt put a foot wrong? ok sunderland wernt that good but i was very impressed.


are you being serious?

The gulf in performance between boyata and him was immense IMO. He looked way out of his depth to me. I know it's all about opinions and I want all our kids to succeed but I thought he was far from convincing

Ditto. He had quite a few dodgy first touches.

the limited times ive seen him play he was always the better player to Mee (who I was expecting big things from). He made Mee look gash the few times I saw them both in the defence. Bad times because Mee is a sale lad, I hope he makes it.

Not trying to be an arsehole, but didn't he fuck up a simple trap and it went out for a throw?

Realistically 20 mins won't ever tell you if he's gonna be a top player or a league 2 type, training and match practice will do that. We may or may not ever get to see enough to judge, but someone will.
Tracking back is overrated.

I did like the way he cut back inside and took a shot on, it was blocked but he obviously thought "this goes in and I am a legend, it misses and no-one really cares". Great situation to put a kid into, but unfortunately they have been too few and far between this season.

I wouldn't read anything into the performance, it was a 20 minutes run around when most of the player had gone back into first gear cause the job was well and truly done.

Catch yourselves on guys.
I see posters arguing if Kolarov has had enough time to settle into the team, or not.
This lad has had a handful of minutes.
Give him a break and get behind him.
These young lads read these sites.
I sense he has been City for a lot longer than "some" of the bright contributors on here.
Let's get behind him.

Anyone can cock up trapping a ball, especially on a debut. I thought he did alright, but yeah, impossible to give enough evidence to suggest he'd be briliant or rubbish, with 20 mins play, bar doing summat amazing.
