Three teenagers started for Manchester
City during their win over Southampton this week. Manchester City fans were
given an indication of the future on Tuesday night as the Blues heaped more gloom
on Ralph Hasenhuttl's Southampton at the Etihad. Football fans can book Premier

A Nicolas Otamendi header led Sergio
Aguero brace in the last 16 of the Carabao Cup but two more strikes from
the Blues all-time record goal scorer is not what the game will be remembered
for. Blues fans have become familiar with seeing Argentine forward find the net
with regularity over the previous eight-and-a-half years.
Although they will never tire of
seeing Aguero wheel away in celebration having added another goal to his count,
they will have found the introduction of a few new faces of late inspirational.
Tommy Doyle, the 18-year-old local guy,
showcased at the base of midfield on his senior debut against Saints. Tommy
Doyle played so well for the first game in a position that is not natural for
him. I saw him playing there for a few days when normally he plays in front but
he played really well.
Tommy Doyle is Manchester City through
and through. His granddad the late Mike Doyle, is a bona fide City great having
got his hands on eight pieces of silverware during the 60s and 70s. As Guardiola
noted, holding midfield is not Doyle's primary place but he cleared himself
well there against Premier League
opposition.
A calm young defender with technical features
polished in La Masia, he could be vital for Manchester City in
the coming months as Pep Guardiola continues to struggle with Aymeric Laporte's
knee injury.
Phil Foden has been in and around the
first team for a couple of years now but he is yet to turn 20 and Tuesday's
game was just his 16th start for Manchester City.
The chances of him being involved in
any of the seven Premier League matches before the Oxford United draw are slim,
and if he features in any of Manchester City remaining three Champions League
group matches it will likely be because a place in the last 16 has already been
available.
Guardiola is more likely to give his
young players further game time against a team of Premier League One standard
than Manchester United or Liverpool.
