He was wonderful today and put us in a great position to finish the game with Doku against a tiring Carvajal on a yellow. Unfortunately, others did not step up.
 
Here's the problem with Grealish, when your most productive players are having an off night he can never be relied on to make the difference, he does what he usually does brilliantly but pop up with a goal or assist when we need it ? it just doesn't happen.
 
Played well but he doesn’t play great with Kev. Kev goes awol & Jack has to cover he also has gvadiol flying past him, he works better with Phil inside him as Phil does more defensively than Kev

Actually I think that it is Akanji effect. Akanji worked better for a few minutes.

Kev Jack Gvadiol Phil barely have any game time playing together this season. So we really cannot fault any of them.

Ake has a better understanding with them perhaps but he was not on the pitch.
 
Did exactly what he has been doing pretty much since the day he arrived. I didn't expect any goals or assists and neither does Pep.

Was the right move to try Doku out there.
 
Held the ball well but we needed that spark and let’s be frank we could play another 40 mins, Jack is not that guy I’d rely on to make the difference.
 
The thing that bothers me around Jack is the fact that he almost never dribbles onto the defenders.

If I had a penny for every time he got the ball on the side, runs on to the defender, steps few times in place and passes back to Gvardiol, I would be a rich man.

I just don't know why is he so afraid of trying to get past players, you can lose some balls, it's fine. But if you get through, you're creating a chance. What Doku does, he made several run ins with the ball and made a big difference.

Jack has skill, good shot and pace, but his no effort to dribble is just puzzling to me.

His record in the big games for us is actually pretty good from memory. Goals against Arsenal, United and Liverpool.

Feels way more likely him popping up for a big moment than Haaland to be fair

Arsenal away and the rags away last season are pretty much the only ones.
 
If you’re not getting last season’s version of Haaland, the wide players have got to step in. I would have been mad at Haaland today but he showed that even in his worst, his presence places a holy fear in defenders which other players can capitalize on. Grealish has got to do much more for a £100m player if I’m being honest.
 
was one of our best when went down. end product wise he never really makes it here, he may had some more instinct at mediocre Villa or assisting and scoring regularly, albeit apart from maybe one season his numbers on goals were nothing special. and played a lot of counter attacking football in a defensive Villa something quite the opposite here at City where he mostly faces parked buses. not many parked buses he faced while at Villa...

He already proven for his worth by being one of the player that bring us treble last season.

So fuck you to bring his price tag again, he already paid it many times over.

He tried and I appreciate him for his work but let’s be very honest here. We aren’t winning that treble with a misfiring Haaland and this season has proven it. The reason why we are the best club in the world is that we don’t rest on our oars. As great as Aguero was, when it was time to move on, we moved him on. Not suggesting that he be moved on but he has to deliver more going forward for a 100m player that he is. Players that come with this price tag are just more than a wheel in the cog, they make the difference many-a-times.

Unfortunately , our wide players don't carry any goal scoring threat ,nor do we have attacking full-backs now to help them out .

So you blame the player for putting price tag he didn't ask for.

Okay that's it, you already made up your mind for him. I don't bother replying your post anymore.
