'He's a natural talent. He has a great energy that he brings to the team. He plays with so much energy and passion.
'Only Pep will know (why he's not getting in the Premier League team). Creating moments like that will help. It does bode well for him that he's getting more minutes.
'He's becoming the go-to guy for City, like against West Ham when he came on and changed the game.'
The 20-year-old has failed to start in City's last league games and has played just 27 minutes of Premier League football since the end of October.
Banging the drum again Hazy..I'm banging the drum again...there again , so are respected ex players !!!
Disappointed he hasn't started the last few in the league but let's be fair he's started 8 from 14 so far this season, he's our 8th most used player overall.
I can't excuse starting Mahrez over him though, given form.
That line about how many minutes he has since the end of October is disingenuous, we played 2 games in that time because of international break.
