Its also like he's the only city manager to ever spend money and that's why he's made them better than ever Bayern 3 years before Pep played in 3 Champions League finals and won 2 league titles Barcelona had won a league and a Champions League and were a wondergoal away from another final 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 He seemed to be behind the play for most of their major attacks. Odd decision to play him as a false 9 today, but they've all done it one point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Villain Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Whoopsie…. According to Sky Sports, Mr £100m only scored a 5! So that’s a 4 against PSG and a 5 against Liverpool in the same week… Good… Long may the underachievement continue… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people just default to that when they see someone who isn’t an out and out striker playing up front. For me he played as a 9 today. And he was poor.

The_Steve Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 LMAO - Jack used a photo of himself waiting to take a corner for his post-match tweet. Truly, what a contribution today. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Pep's biggest advantage as manager is managing big players and players ego's. I mean how ever good a manager is he has gotta have the respect of the players to be a great coach to start with. This is where Pep is head and shoulders above many. No player would disrespect him with his qualities.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 (edited) To be fair City play a hell of a lot of games during a season so Jack will of course play his part. In the big games though he should probably be on the bench and in time I expect him to be. At the moment he has to start because he’s the marquee signing. Before anybody says that’s bs and city are full of talent so can bench anyway, that’s not actually true. Whenever they’ve had a very big money signing that player has started all the games early on in his career there. That’s pretty much the same for any club. The money spent has to be justified for at least half a season or so. Edited October 3, 2021 by Vive_La_Villa 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
