RAWK has spoken:

Doesn’t matter - but Grealishs goal was absolutely miles offside today and not a sniff from VAR

Truly, they are nuts.

Weird one for those nutjobs to pick when it was so clearly onside (by at least a couple of feet) it didn't even need lines drawing to see it. The pitch lines made it clear.

The thread is an utter embarrassment, even the title of it (or sub-title). They are now mocking the fact that the BBC declared Haaland to be a 'bit of a bargain' at 55m, naturally believing that there have been all sorts of under the counter payments to disguise the true fee, failing to notice that they paid 85m for Nunez. Their absolute belief in the purity of their club is utterly cult-like.

The Grealish goal quote was just one example of how they cannot see clearly when it comes to us: the goal was clearly on-side, but they cannot have it, even in a game that is nothing to do with them, nor has any effect on them whatsoever.
 
Never in doubt that the kid would not just come good, but become one of our most important players. His attitude is second to none and the hard work and positivity is now paying off in abundance.
 
Hello fellow blues.

First off I wasn't sure if I should start a new topic on this in admitting I was wrong about Jack, I am not often wrong when it comes to Man City but I was convinced he was not good enough! I no I was not alone but after having the likes of Sane and Sterling being so direct as players Jack is just different in that regard.

I sit next to many City fans and was happy and clapping that he got a corner or free kick. Saying how great he is dribbling sideways and winning free kicks! I was the opposite being annoyed that he never played that pass forward that he could have and dribbled passed the full back, but now he is starting to find his team mates. I am not frustrated watching him anymore.

So here I am admitting he has improved and is starting to look like a City player. He has become so much more positive since the World Cup and now looks forward rather than back and rides challenges instead of holding on to the ball too long and getting a free kick.

He is still improving and the signs are now looking promising after a slow shacky start but now I can see why Pep bought him and kept persisting with him. Now with his form he has played a big part in us now getting the title challenge back in our hands.

Last season and early this season i was critical of Grealish(not in a nasty way) and said it as i saw it. At times he seemed lazy and uninterested and so frustrating. He too often ran down the touchline to be either tackled or pass back before getting tackled. His split second decision was awful and wasn't in tune with the team. Some goal chances he should have put his boot through he passed instead, often not a good pass, like i said, frustrating. He looked unhappy that he wasn't doing the business like he knew he could. Having seen how good he was at Villa i knew he had it in him but i honestly thought he wasn't suited to us.

Since the World something good has happened to Jack as he's now become a great individual and great team player. He is now expressing himself with flair and swagger that is a joy to watch. He's gliding past players and choosing the right options and is now getting goals and assists with a cheeky smile on his face.

And he's become a real grafter. Was so impressed when he sprinted back to deny Salah. If he carries on progressing i think his best position will be as an inside left, or LCM and i think he'll end up playing there. Well pleased for him that he's settled in and become one our most important players.

I think what really has helped him is our change of style, being able to carry the ball into the number 10 position as well as out wide gives him another angle. That in turn has helped his confidence, he really looks like he believes he belongs now.

This, plus the stability of Ake at left back.
 
Played a good part in the 2nd goal. Very critical. His pressing has got us critical goals in the biggest matches vs Arsenal and FC Bayern Munich this season. contribute a lot in defense and attacking.

If he can improve his finishing a little bit... well you cannot get everything.

keep going lad

He's also (partly) responsible for Ake's( and in general the left hand side of our defense) defensive solidity. Ake can pretty much pass the ball out knowing that this guy's not losing it anytime soon.

It's becoming a really effective relationship. Nathan's more confident in his forward passes because he knows if he can get the ball to Jack it's almost certainly safe. Jack's more confident in taking risks going forward because he knows that if he does lose the ball Nathan's got him covered. Great to see.

Played well tonight and gave everything as always. Incredible work for the second goal.

I hope that (ankle?) knock he got wasn't anything significant.
