It's what he has to do in order to stay in this team and win the CL under Pep but there's no way I'll believe he enjoys this more than Villa. He wants the ball, he wants to drive, take risks, create chances and he can't do any of them things at City. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shackles absolutely cripple his best qualities as a player He tries but very often he loses the ball or has a shot blocked. (3 times this game). At Villa that was fine because eventually he would do something great. At city you can’t keep losing the ball or having shots blocked. City’s business is generally good but they have sold two very effective players for one that doesn’t really give them anything. I guess they sold loads of shirts though.

Keyblade Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 We're sad about Jack, I imagine Leicester fans feel similarly about Mahrez. Must have just gotten his first touch of the ball. Not even allowed to wander and try to get some touches. Just parked on that right touchline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJBOB Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 (edited) Yeah Mahrez can put the ball in the back of the net at least. For all of Jack's strengths, clinical finishing is not one of them. Always lashing at it for a highlight.

But it's clear he's a shadow of the player from even 3/4 years ago. Coutinho is/was an elite athlete, and Jack has had plenty of injuries too. But he does a lot of partying as well, so why wouldn't you except he could deteriorate in the same way if not faster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack is just way more athletic. I just can't see Jack struggling to beat his man and cut inside for a shot in 2/3 years as Coutinho currently is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chasetown Villa Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 He’s been completely shackled by Pep. There’s no way he enjoys playing in this system as much as he did for Villa. Medals and trophies aside, it has been a truly poor move for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Getting a bit tragic now. I’m not saying battling relegation with Wesley is what he’s dreaming of. But I bet he’d be a lot happier at a Champions League side where he was allowed to play with a bit more freedom. He should really consider going overseas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpTheVilla26 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Just had a gander in their match thread on Blue Moon. They think he ain't good enough for them and want shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post kevpants Posted September 14, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 14, 2022 I know he's not our player anymore but I'm depressed after that. It's like going to the zoo and seeing a Lion in a 12ft cage rocking back forth with patches of fur falling out. He has to get onto his agent about a move. He's not a hug the touchline winger. Even if he was he has no support from Cancelo anyway. I think he's do much better in the midfield for City but he wont ever get the chance. Will be dropped for their next few games now. Then back in for 60 mins. Then bench again. What a **** waste. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MachoFantastico Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Jack was signed by the higher ups at City for merchandise reasons, Pep never wanted him and it shows. The crazy thing is, he'll still get into the England side even in his awful form because of who he plays for. It's sad really given his talents. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
