Dont get me wrong, I like the boy, but hes not really doing much currently for me, ive said he should be given a run in the side, 5 or 6 games, then we will have a better idea, I just feel some of are going a little overboard with his performances myself.
He should have at least one more assist. Walcott's miss today was very poor, Tosun had one put on a platter in one game that was a bit tougher but he scuffed it so that was pretty bad to. He's only played about 300 minutes and at least half of those are on the right where I personally think his game isn't as well suited. I'm fairly confident he will be at least decent if we give him a run. But it could be more than that if things click.
 
He looks a promising talent, does what you would hope for a winger - widens the pitch, easily gets in behind the defense and provides goalscoring opportunities to the team. Hadn't heard of him before but, for me, was the only player consistently presenting difficulties for City
 
File him with kenny and Dowell, holgate Lewin young players who aren't good enough at this level.

He came on and helped change the game yesterday along with Walcott. We got 1 and should really have scored 1 or 2 more thanks to the impetus he provided when he came on, and he caused their defence problems.

Not sure how you have decided he's not good enough as he's provided other displays like that coming off the bench against good sides - Anfield last season in the Cup, this season in the League there, Chelsea away in the League Cup last season where he had an effort that hit the bar from 25 yards.

I'd give him a run of games from the start and rotate him, Walcott and Bernard and see where his best position is. I think he looks better on the left.
 
The main issue we have is all our wingers are better coming off the bench. Thought Walcott looked a lot brighter yesterday coming off the bench than he has in a while, so I'd keep him as a bench option for now. But lookman deserves a start for me, and we need Bernard to start, he works the hardest out of all of them, he tracks back the best and he's the best at keeping possession.

Richarlison has to stay up top for the best balance imo. Until January anyway.
