The striker was handed a start in .

Speaking as a pundit during the game, Owen opined that Guardiola is not getting the best out of the striker.

“Iheanacho isn’t the same player he was once,” Said Owen.

“His confidence has taken a hit, I think he plays with lot of pressure as he is unsure what could happen next unlike when Pellegrini was in charge.

Iheanacho has four Premier League goals so far this season.
