What has happened to him. He is bang out of form. Nose out of joint with Doku or simply slowing down and losing his ability at an early age? 

His flame has been snuffed out because he's been forced to think and not just feel. A fantasist like Jack needs freedom, not rigid, restrictive systems.

Seems like Pep has broken him. He seems to slow things down every time he gets the ball. My guess is that he wants to get back in the first team so he's overdoing the instructions Pep gives him to retain possession. All wingers need to be able to take on defenders and go past them, if you just take three touches and pass it sideways all the time you aren't going to be effective. Might have lost some of the hunger he had as well, he's done it all now. Nothing really left to achieve.

He undoubtedly will have a better football brain from working under Pep.  But he really has lost that spark that gave him the edge and made him so exciting to watch. Just doesn't play with the same level of freedom and expression that he used to and it's kinda sad to see in some ways. The robotic nature of Pep's football just doesn't suit him at all from a purely footballing pov imo. I'm sure he's very happy with trophies and money tho.

Who cares about the clearing in the woods? His best days are behind him, our best days are ahead of us and he walked away from it.

Traded immortality for 1 season in a team that very likely would have won everything even without him.  He’s like that guy that killed the gold egg laying goose because he wanted all his eggs at once.

On the flip side, his departure kicked off a chain of events that led to the arrival of Emery. If I had to choose one or the other, it’s not even close.

Hes lucky that his direct replacement is the exact opposite of him and Dokus raw nature wont always suit the opposition.

This half time sub in whats already been a patchy season wont do him any favours though.

Give it time and Doku's natural instincts will be trained out of him as well.

A world class manager is worth far more than a world class player, in basically any scenario IMO. There are very very few truly transformative managers, and we've managed to get one.
