Yes it will be interesting to see his attitude at wembley ,cus in a way he cant win now . If he turns up people will rightly ask why he has had so many performances where he just jogs around and plays safe for us , rather than trying to really influence the game . And if he just looks as anonymous as usual some will rightly say we thought he needed better class opposition to bring out the best in him , good luck with that though cus City dont give anyone time to get their head up usually , they are the perfect example for him , not only are they top players ,but they usually work harder than most as well.If money is going to be tight , i would sell him for any decent offer to fund a couple of hard working proper midfielders who give their all and dont frustrate fans and team mates alike . Good player wasting his talentIn order to reply I have watched the extended highlights. In those there are several penetrating passes (forward) including the interchange with Ndiaye which almost gave us a goal.
The moment I liked best was when he challenged for a header(badly) but then stuck into a strong challenge, won the ball and played a really good ball down the wing.
I fully understand your frustrations at the rest of his performance in this match and others, but I don’t think he was any worse than several other players and on balance was “average”.
I will be interested to see his attitude and performance on Saturday when he has a big stage to showcase his oft hidden talents.
