Decent cameo yesterday, but it's all a bit too late now for him to stay next season.
With Wirtz looking the main target in the summer and with the addition of Marmoush, we ain't keeping Jack around to be a bit part player whilst being on £300k a week.
It's the same with Bernardo. He will likely stay next season as he only has a year left but he is another £300k a week footballer who will be a bit part next season.
No chance we keep both and I think it will be Bernardo who stays.
If we had any coach other than Pep, Jack would be a regular starter and no chance of getting rid.
He's pissed Pep off somewhere along the line, and as usual, Mr Arrogant won't stand for it.
I think him breaking down so often when called on has pushed him to the back of peps plans. A good run out yesterday will help but I think he needs a few more without any injury reoccurrence before Pep trusts him again.If we had any coach other than Pep, Jack would be a regular starter and no chance of getting rid.

I think he has pissed Pep off for being too "pissed" himself.
He did but Phil has 10 goals this season.Jack has one and refusing to take a shot like he did yesterday when it was the better option might explain a lot.His cameo today is why he divides opinion , he allows us to control games but doesn’t add stats in terms of goals and asists
When Haaland is scoring 52 goals in a season , this doesn’t really matter , when he’s not then people put the spotlight on the wingers to contribute
I’m Foden’s biggest fan but Jack offered twice as much when he came on
I’d love him to prove himself in the remaining games. Thought he was definitely gone in the summer before Sunday, but maybe there’s a chance he could turn it round. Really hope so.Best player on the pitch today.
Needs to do it a lot more often now.
I’d keep.
If he's pissed Pep off because of likely off-field antics, then I don't blame our manager for benching him. It would be less forgivable if the player himself had been shining the last two seasons; but he's been mediocre at best.If we had any coach other than Pep, Jack would be a regular starter and no chance of getting rid.

I wish Jack well, but I think he's done here.
Imagine calling Pep 'Mr Arrogant' for not starting a player who didn't score for over a year and is constantly injured.
Grealish is a superb talent but a magnificent 6 months out of 4 seasons is a poor return on a 100m transfer fee and 300k week wages.'Mediocre'... Compared to the drop-off in performances of Phil Foden and KDB, he's had a better season than them just sitting on the bench.
'Off-field antics'...As I've said before; don't believe everything you read in the media.
There's a lot of shit spouted by City fans simply due to Mr Arrogant not playing Jack to his strengths.

Sunday probably showed why Grealish will leave, came on the pitch, showed superb technique but again could and should have had 2 goals, he simply does not have the belief or confidence to put his foot through a ball and shoot on goal.
He clearly has self confidence issues , that was obvious the minute he walked through the door, he was overwhelmed by the club, elite players don't have these feelings, they revel in the pressure and adulation that comes with the demands of title winning clubs.
Totally agree and as said that was obvious from day 1, I think it was Lescott that interviewed him in the dressing room, Grealish was totally overwhelmed and was far from the image of a cocky, arrogant guy he was portrayed as.Shirt was too heavy, spotlight was too big, standards too high.

And yet when you try and discuss Foden, everyone hides behind his 'off the field' issues as if its some form of free pass'Mediocre'... Compared to the drop-off in performances of Phil Foden and KDB, he's had a better season than them just sitting on the bench.
