"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. "He is surrounded by players he knows have the trust of the manager unlike during Pellegrini’s reign where he has the trust of the manager and knows it. "He has regressed under Guardiola. He is under pressure."Iheanacho could get another opportunity to start in Friday night's FA Cup third round visit to West Ham.</blockquote>
