2-0 up here. Could end up being anything. Leeds hit the bar 5 mins ago. Ennis been quiet enough.

Body shape and dribbling style remind me of Tevez
Yeah, I can see that. Some of Tevez, some of Norman Whiteside, and, for those who know him, some of the old Rangers winger Ted McMinn.
Not lightning pace, and a bit ungainly, yet has the technical ability to be effective in an unusual way.
I didn't realise he was as stocky as he is tbh. He does seem to have something about him though, despite not seeing much of the ball. Have a feeling we'll be seeing some decent performances from him this season.
Looks promising. I thought a tad selfish at times, not looking up at other times. But one cannot judge on half a game.
Looks to be doing well.
Two goals against his old team.
This set of under 18s is rather exciting

Been a bit up and down for him, the goals at the weekend were only his 2nd/3rd of the season. With some of the young lads they take their time to find their feet, especially first years.
Seems to have really found his stride. Beauty of a goal against Sunderland.
His goal here
In the recent highlights, granted that is the only evidence I have to go off of, he appears to be extremely right footed.
Yes and plays with his head down a lot. Probably end up a half decent league 1 or 2 winger.
Reminds me of Garnacho last season. Some aspects of his game looks very raw but once he’s settled in he can be an absolute menace at this level. Should be a key man for the 18s next season.
His shooting technique looks very good.
Finding some good form after his fairly slow start when he joined. Great goal.
He’s been very good recently.
That first touch...
On fire at the moment. Moves like Mason.
Good lord… that first touch
I don't even know how he did that first touch he trapped it whilst moving it onto his path in one go, incredible skill.
Some just need time, he looks to be finishing off superbly. I thought Mainoo was average last year. 
Powerful runner, direct, fantastic change of pace with an eye for goal. One of those wide forwards comfortable cutting inside onto his right..
Another player in the under 18s who has performed better as the season has gone on.

I remember people writing this team off at the start of the season. Think after we were beat by Liverpool or another rival
Happens every year or so when a load of u16s are promoted and second years move up.
Takes time for people to figure the new level out.
Personally, I'm still not the biggest fan of Ennis from what I have seen. In great form no doubt and good technically but plays with his head down.
Agree, not the biggest fan either. However, he has finished really well and I didn't like Mainoo two seasons ago and look how that turned out. Is it me or a lot of these kids are extremely one footed?? I know with the coaching they would be doing so much work on their left foot but a few never seem to use it at all.
Scored again.
Seems to score the same type of goal each time, head down then just cuts in from the left and strikes.
please don’t go overboard about these young lads just because he’s scored goals lately, same with Charlie McNeil. Scoring goals at youth level is one thing, but got to take that into the senior level

I don't see it in McNeill either but hoping things change. Worried me City happily let him go.
What position does he play ?
Will he ever stop scoring! Real talent on our hands. Will be bitter as feck for Liverpool if he makes it.
If you sign a player at youth level you hope they can perform at that level initially. They are joining a high profile club, with lots of competition and the media/fans are all over them. Much more than most clubs because of our history.
McNeill showed what he can do last season when he broke all types of goalscoring records. Criticising him for what he hasn't done yet at a higher level seems very strange. All you can hope for is that they keep progressing and push over plateaus to make it to the first team.
Ennis had a quiet start to the season with all the competition for places but is now in great form with confidence high.
We all know that most won't make it so enjoy the football and get behind what they are doing.

Out for the season with a ruptured ACL I hope he fully recovers, he had a great second half of the season.
Horrible news for the lad
I wondered where it was yesterday! Horrible news!
arugh. When I saw the bump I was expecting another worldie from him, not this. Really hope he has a full, swift recovery
Saw he posted a message earlier, poor guy, wishing him a speedy recovery.
Both him and Curley. That’s rough.
Am I right in remembering Curley was the one who was rated but had massive injuries coming through? If it is, this may sadly be the end.
Seems to be back, hope he can get back to his best and really kick on.
Very interesting prospect. Reminds me of Bale in full flight.
