I think yesterday's performance was just due to a lack of playing time, he made good runs but generally the same run that someone else was also making and were a better passing option.
We don't play like City, our play is based more on flair than control.Rashford,Greenwood,Martial,Bruno and Pogba (until recently) would rather run at defenders or shoot than pass the ball, makes it difficult for a player like Mata or Vdb to assert themselves.This was the case with Jesse as well, he was a player who made brilliant runs when ole came in but had better players with more individual talent around him for him to demand the ball.
He shouldn't be playing that forward with Bruno in the team.Bruno demands the ball all the time and rightfully so plus Fred or McT are essential to cover our backline.Either an 8 with Bruno and Fred/McT or a 10 with Pogba and Fred/McT would be his best options.
He is a good plan b right now and a club our size needs these type of alternate options, nothing wrong with that.It's upto him to break into the starting 11.
