Phil Silvers Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 The best way for Jack to win over the fans that feel let down by him is to score an own goal, rip off his shiteh shirt to reveal his Villa shirt, run over to Pep, kiss the badge and then Moon the shiteh fans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick76 Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 (edited) Best all round that Jack doesn’t play tonight or on the bench. He plays well…he gets booed He plays poorly…he’ll be laughed at. Sits on the bench… chants of “what a waste of money” Edited December 1, 2021 by nick76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way McGinn will want Jack having any bragging rights against him one on one. An important distinction here between 'more competitive' on the one hand, and 'leaving one on him' or 'going out of his way to hurt him' on the other. I have no problem believing McGinn will be even more competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 If Pep brings him on, replacing Foden or someone on 75min, the reception he will get will be interesting, one way or another. If Pep is the genius he thinks he is, he'd be well advised not to put his (already below par) record signing under that sort of pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a m ole Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I imagine both clubs, managers and players will be entirely professional about the whole affair. Business as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don_Simon Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Do we believe the "Christian Purslow invited me to the West Ham game" claim? It seems to go against the general theme of discussion from the club since he left. What does CP stand to gain from this? (There's also absolutely no reason for Jack to lie about, it just doesn't really make sense to me). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hunk CP would know the reaction Jack would get if he sat in the box with him so I doubt CP would do it. It’s too soon and I’m not sure CP is happy with him anyway.

MakemineVanilla Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 It has obviously been difficult for Jack, as he went from playing a role at Villa where he had multiple opportunities to show his chops, and now plays in a team where his opportunities are limited. No doubt the first instruction he got from Guardiola was to avoid giving the ball away because against the best teams in the Premier League and the Champions League, you are going to get punished for it. He tends to find himself trapped out on the left and is reduced to playing short balls in and around the edge of the box. It is notable that Foden and Sterling both get stuck in such a role and look equally frustrated, but tactically you can see how it creates a lot of space on the right, both for City and England. In the case of City, Mahrez or Jesus enjoy the space created on the right where a lot of chances come from. I think this is what Guardiola means when he says Jack doesn't realise how well he plays.
