Starting to look dangerous when he cuts in at speed. Just needs to calm himself down and make the right pass.

Loved his nailing hit on Son in the first half.
Yep, his decision making isn't free flowing.
I think he avoids mistakes too much and should trust his intuition and have a quicker release, more one touch passes into the box, the defence will make mistakes too.
 
A flat first half I thought but much better second
I mean he created 3 opportunities first half which all resulted in shots aswell as chasing son back to make that vital challenge… it really wasn’t that flat at all.

He’s the perfect outball, as much as I like ake next to him giving him the ball a lot… (much more than cancelo for example) I’d still like to see someone come in for Gomez and then ship Sergio out on loan somewhere.
 
I’ve never understood his tentativeness sometimes when on the ball. Look at his performance tonight! Got past his man with ease, often. Keep it up Jack you’ve really got something going now
 
Turned on the after burners and caught Son. Timed his tackle well too. Gave real effort. Final ball wasn’t really there but he kept at it.

Not spoken about enough but his first touch at times is sublime.
 
Have seen the lad play for a quite a long time, whether it’s villa, england or city he improves every team he plays in with or without goals and assists.

We seen an example of that last year against United. Ran the show with no G+A to show for it. This year he got the goal and was probs our best player when he come on but ends up on the losing side and certain posters go missing again…

Gives 100 per cent every time he’s on the pitch.

Ever since that awful Dortmund performance, it's like Pep has just given him the green light to go at guys and turn the pressure up. He looks so much more comfortable in the team now.

The home game against United and the Carabao Cup match vs Chelsea were 2 standout performances.
 
Thought he had a good game. He’s been one of our better players in the last month.

My only gripe is that he should sometimes try to beat defenders both ways, not just cutting inside all the time to carry the ball or pass. He could keep defenders guessing more by being more confident about taking them on the outside too.

I noticed Pep was fuming at one point and screamed at him for it tonight, with hand gestures to tell him he should’ve gone down the line instead of cutting inside

He has a decent left foot delivery sometimes, so he should use it more often. At worst, you’ll probably win a few corners from it too.
 
Much better tonight but there’s still more in there that needs to come out.

It was good to see him be more forthright in his play tonight but how many times should he just have let loose and shoot yet he just took one or two extra touches or tried to cross it? There was a 3 v 2 attack when Mahrez was clean through and he took the wrong option to pass to Alvarez.

But overall that was much better tonight. He got back and made challenges, he attacked the full back, he was up for the challenge, he was positive, he was exciting to watch (which hasn’t always been the case).

Let’s take it to that next level now!

It won’t help that the one time he went down the line last night he ended up in with the cameramen pitchside!!
 
Liked his performance in the 2nd half. Much more aggressive with his dribbling and taking more risks on the attack. He is actually an excellent dribbler, I just wish he realize that about himself more often.
