Good in the air, well able to hold his own and win a large percentage of balls in the air.

A strong tackler, it is just his rashness that holds him back at times.

He was brought in because he is very good on the ball and capable of spotting and playing a pass.

Good strength, though the strongest forwards are capable of bullying him.

Surprisingly quick, clocked as Man City's fastest top speed in the early weeks of the season. Though his acceleration is not as quick.

Strong in the air, it is one of his key attributes.

He could be an excellent tackler, but he is far too rash at times, which leads to unnecessary cards. It is something he needs to work on as he should pick up far more red cards than he has done and his luck can only hold for so long.

A decent passer but not at the level Guardiola would prefer.

Good strength, very rarely bullied by a forward in that respect.

Can be beaten for pace, which leads to rash challenges and pulls at times.
