I like the fact he is a will o the whisp. For me he just looks good in the shirt! I think he could be a tremendous player...that assist to Kane was just wonderful.

Remind you of any player who used to play for city?

He did much better today, got a hug from Antonio after a dogged, intelligent, and skillful performance. In only his second start.

I hope he kicks on from here, I know it sounds strange but I get the impression he is trying too hard at times and loses understanding of his role.

No that’s completely fair
I think conte puts enormous pressure on players with his expectations and it’s never easy for young players in this league
What Gil did really well was come in off the wing to move central and bring a man with him
There is something different to this kid, he'll only get better with playing time.
Looking forward to him starting again next game ..

Energy expenditure for one. The amount of calories he'd have to consume to counteract training every day and a lifetime of training.
Add to that even putting on a couple of pounds changes your fitness levels, how to you feel within yourself, what you can and can't do physically etc. He'll probably get stronger over time but at the weight he is.
S&C in football rarely focuses on weight gain (though it should, like it does in other sports where bulking like that is done during the teenage years when the body is growing anyway).

In some other sports they also use additional "help" to build bulk. To be honest I don't know if he needs to bulk up per se. There have been loads of lighter players, he does need to play and get use the physical interactions and then his superior skill and quick feet will see him through.

I have faith that he will breakthrough and prove that he has what it takes. He showed glimpses last night including a great assist. And it must be difficult being in his position. I imagine his confidence is lower than usual and he won’t be as sharp as he could be but there are signs there that he can make the impact we want him to make. Hopefully he plays against Portsmouth and Conte will be happier to call upon him more often in future.
Agreed , needs to play and understand the physicality of the league. We’ve seen players take a full season of playing to adapt to the leagues pace and physicality. Top players will get there regardless of size.
Defo need another forward/attacking player but we're kind of at that awkward juncture where we only need one (lets say Gil gets his chance from here) so we need to be buying the right player - that may mean we need to wait till summer for priority targets. Would like a loan in if possible but not expecting too much

With Gil now looking like taking the Lucas role in future, still think we need a disrupters style centre forward to play with / instead of Kane. Someone good in the air and can hold the ball up. E.g. A Toney, a Mitrovic or ( younger version) of that WetSpam battering ram in order to complete our forward selection of 6.
