I suspect there are plenty of Premier League managers who wouldn't be happy with the way he is happy to continue his runs up and across the field, to left wing and beyond, even after he is out of possession. Credit to Andrews for embracing the chaos rather than trying to coach it out of him.
yeah , why coach it out of him , his chaotic marauding runs confuse the oppo and creates spaces

Wasn't at his scintillating best today, but hey ho, another human.
Also, less space to run into against these lower placed sides with their deeper lying defensive set-ups.
He could…but I still love him…and I’d happily have 6 Michael Kayode’s in the team!
I watched with a Leeds mate , I said we could do with another 9 MK's on the pitch
Still think Les has a point. Tons of endeavour, will be worth a fortune eventually.... but could certainly do with more composure, which will help pick that final ball.
Yeah. His dinked deliveries are generally pretty good. Some of his other deliveries are more hit and miss but that’s probably also in part due to lack of options to hit in the box.
He seems to focus on going forward (although did he cross the half-way line in the second half?) but hasn’t got the awareness of the players around and in front of him when he needs to deliver a cross or pass. I’d hoped he would’ve got an understanding with Ouattara but both are a bit unpredictable – a real benefit – but I think there’s a lot more work to do when Dango returns from AFCoN.
I always think back to Ryan Giggs - the most decorated PL player ever, incl the highest number of Assists. For his first 100-odd(?) games, his crossing was actually "very poor" [sic], a result I imagine of always previously having been able to rely on sheer pace alone to see him through. But he obviously worked on it throughout his career so that he eventually became one of the best crossers of a ball we've ever seen.
Well you don’t post when we win so perhaps it feels like ages to you
It was not as far ago as it seemed 4 games, just seemed teams were managing it better than earlier
It is , people pile on when we lose but don’t post when we win . Annoys the f*** out of me
Completely agree that hes not the player he was at the end of last season/the start of this.
It's the first one. I remember him absolutely lighting up the Gtech in January in the 2-2. Another City player who mostly only turns up against us.
Is it more that we and other clubs are more familiar with how he plays? He’s a very dynamic player who brings a lots of attributes to the team and is great to watch. Over the last few games he’s been up against some of the best attackers in the PL and done reasonably well, in my opinion. Because of his fantastic start when he first arrived we’ve grown accustomed to his abilities and expectations are high - but we’ve got to remember that he is still a young lad coming to terms with the PL and he will quickly learn from mistakes he’s bound to make. I’m sure the coaching staff are monitoring his ‘load’ and will decide if he needs a rest to recover from his exertions.
It's what usually happens with young, inexperienced players. When they first come in they're so excited, so fearless, that they just go for it. But invariably they'll begin to face problems at that level which they've not seen experienced before, all the more so when opponents start to take notice and make plans accordingly.
Last night there was a number of time Collins played the ball to him, instead of taking a run forward he passed it back to Collins. I thought last night set up was for him to attack down the line not pass the ball back
city crammed the flanks really effectively, trapping us into either winning a foul, throw in or playing it back. driving forward would only put him in trouble.
