It's mystifying why Manuel Pellegrini keeps substituting Felipe Anderson. Felipe was hooked at half-time at Everton and subbed after 66 minutes against Sheffield United. Yes, he's struggled a little this season, but he's still our most creative player.
There was one great moment against Sheffield where he won a tackle on the halfway line, surged forwards, exchanged passes with Yarmolenko and then shot against the goalkeeper's legs. The finish wasn't there, but at some point he'll go on a goalscoring run like last season.
Anderson is more likely to produce than Lanzini or Fornals at the moment and I'd like to see him given a full 90 minutes every week so that he change games against tiring defences. Flair players aren't normally brilliant for 90 minutes, but they can produce the magic that turns one point into three.
