Be nice if Guardiola could clear things up a bit at tomorrow's press conference. Is he fit, or not?

I'd like to assume he's asked about it. He can't really hide behind the injured line if he's OK to be called up by England. Or he isn't fit and Pep will have a go at England for calling him up anyway.

Either way, it'd be a bit of clarity.

Mind you, Pep did say he'd be back with City after the international break so whether that means the plan all along was that he'd get minutes with England to then come back to us? Not sure. Great if it works and England/Carsley are open to an agreed amount of minutes. Shite if it doesn't work and he aggravates an injury.

Needs to pull himself out. Ridiculous if he hasn't been available for 5 games but goes on international duty. If he's fit then the weeks training at the cfa practicing how to take a man on will do him good.

I think its was probably pulling himself out that caused the groin strain in the first place :-)

After Rodri, Grealish is the most reliable player in possession and our percentage stats will increase. This won't necessarily lead to more goals, but it will guarantee less counter attacks from pacy opponents.

Last 3 games -
73% vs Sporting
65% vs Bournemouth
68% vs Tottenham

Jack's last 3 starts -
62% vs Newcastle
59% vs Inter
53% vs Brentford

Also only kept 1 clean sheet in games he's started.

Eh? Hardly.

We’ve been in an unprecedented injury crisis, a player we’ve heard nothing about his injury, cryptic social media post, then suddenly called up for England without a word as to what’s been going on.

People want answers, understandably.

People calling him out without knowing what the issue is ?

Too many on these forums are a fucking disgrace for the way they react to our players, and so I stick to my comment for those who fall into that category.

If Pep chooses not to explain the circumstances regarding Jack, he must have his reasons.

Hope that helps.

Sounds like he’s been injured, but is expected to be back ahead of when Pep thought he would be.

Or maybe his partner has PND or maybe he’s fallen out with Pep.

It’s most likely to be the first scenario though.

I did wonder if PND was the issue. It would explain why Pep has been silent. If Jack was in Pep’s bad books, I think he would have at least hinted at something.

You stick to calling fellow blues pathetic cunts then, nice one.

That's got no relevance to my point about counter attacks

How's he guarantee less counters?
He brings us no more control than any other winger. He has no more touches or completes any more passes. What he does do is slows it down, plays safe more often than not and draws fouls which might give illusion of control but it's not really, the highline is still there and we give up possession just as often.
He's better defensively than anyone else on the left though(apart from maybe Nunes now) and drawing fouls let's us reset when under the cosh. So he's effective vs teams that play vs us rather than sit back and counter

Bottom line is you’ve not got a clue, neither of I, just saying nothing wrong with feeling like you’d like an explanation when we’ve lost 3 games in a week.
 
Jack will always be an easy one to look at and to think he’s done something as his personality makes him look unprofessional at times.

He’s obviously not, as he’s an elite footballer

Hope he is okay in all of this.
