Hit it straight at Mendy. Was good goalkeeping though to be fair. The thing is had Jesus not scored that very good goal out of nothing the chance missed by Jack would be highlighted more. Fine margins. Edited September 30, 2021 by Vive_La_Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Some great revisionism going on now. Suddenly Jack is ordinary and not any better than anyone else at Citeh. Fact is, he's been one of their top players this season. He had a tough game last night, but he went there to test himself in games like that. He'll still have a wonderful season and win a hatful of medals. People have short memories. Just because we look a more balanced team now, doesn't mean he wasn't sensational for us and by a country mile, the best player in our team. We were massively over reliant on him, as Smith has said, and the deal to sell him was good for us, and good for him, with his ambitions. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I think Cancelo's refusal to overlap made him look worse on Tuesday. What is he really supposed to do against 2 defenders and no teammate around him? At Villa he'd have Targett up with him and Watkins making smart runs into the channels. Defenders didn't know whether to stick or twist and that's when he runs riot because his decision making is top notch. Currently at City there's only 1 decision to make: lay the ball off.

On FotMob, that @Genie posted, he's rated as Citeh's best player On WhoScored, he's Citeh's second highest rated player behind Cancelo On Squawka, he's created the second most chances in the Premier League this season (behind TAA) He is objectively and categorically, one of Citeh's best players this season so far. Unless every website is wrong. Don't get me wrong, I'd expect him to be the best, as he's a great player and thats what you pay £100m for. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t seen anything impressive from what I’ve seen. I lot of pretty play with no real end product. But still early days. I’m sure he’ll be very successful there.

Every move at Villa went through him it seemed. That doesn't happen at City, so it may look as though he isn't as effective maybe? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted September 30, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted September 30, 2021 He's just not an important part of City's game. And he's a liability defensively, jumping around funnily. Just like when he plays for England. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
