Mental that 1) hes 28, 2) city paid £100m for him, 3) still doesn’t really have a position, like one of those players who goes out wide early in their career but everyone expects them to play centrally in the future but before you know it, boom they’re 28 and an average winger type playmaker thing.
His “stunted” development at City has been weird. At Villa, he started wide but always had the freedom to cut inside and create. Pep has turned him into a touch-line winger but he doesn’t have the electricity to take on and beat fullbacks the way other wingers in that system have in recent seasons. I’ve always felt he could thrive if given a central creative role but he’ll never get that City or for England.

Makes me worried about ESR’s future tbh
