The silliness is over, thankfully. Of the players in the squad, he played well today. I look forward to even more from him.
 
Was good today, and has had had good start to.his City career. But I think there's a lot more to come from him.
 
Fitted seamlessly into our juggernaut - does everything very nicely - good news is Jack is one of those players that sooner or later will have a game where he will be unplayable and be the difference in a tight match. Seems to have struck up a nice friendship with Ferran too which is important.
 
Looks a way off yet for me. And before somebody jumps on me and turns it into me saying he is or was shit or that it's only his 3rd game etc that's exactly my point.

He doesn't have the fluidity with the team yet. Compare the patterns down the left to the patterns on the right and as expected, one was much more fluid. Makes the wrong movements a fair bit so that two players are often moving into the same space and Isn't releasing the ball quick enough when very good runs are being made. Just to reiterate, it's a comment on the one early performance which was on the whole solid enough, it's not a scathing criticism of his entire 6 year career here. I fully expect all that to come once he's settled.
 
He looks excellent to me. Just needs time to settle.

he takes 2/3 opposition players out of the game every time he gets the ball.

superb signing
 
He was fairly quiet but did everything well. That’s fine; he doesn’t need to do it all himself at City.

Looks a natural fit for us and there will be a few Blues eulogising about him once he’s got a dozen or so matches under his belt.
 
Decent performance, linked well with Cancelo in the first half. Still settling into this team, a lot more to come.
 
Looks better when he quickens up what he’s doing - whether that’s his passing or running at a man. Loads more to come I reckon. A goal and an assist in 3 games is a great start!
 
Thought he was better today with getting used to the way we play with one and two touch passing, especially second half.

First two games, while he looked good when he had the ball at his feet, what we actually need as a team is quick passes and moves, and he wasn’t moving the ball quickly enough. He’ll keep learning, it’s always been the second season when our players have got used to Pep and if he’s already showing that he’s getting used to it after three games, it bodes well!
 
This is the first time we've really seen him showcase his creativity. Previously it's more been about his dribbling.

It'll be a few months before he's really settled in properly. But he might just have that KDB like ability to be decisive even if he's not quite up to speed yet.
 
Very impressed with his ability and calmness with his control in tight spaces. Give him more time and I think we will see alot more assists coming from him.
 
One of his best traits is drawing in opponents before either flicking the ball away to a teammate or going past his opponent.

Must be a twat to play against.
 
He is top class. Dangerous all the time. Finding passes and making runs. Look how many opportunities he created in and around the box with passes through the lines. So happy he signed.
 
Decent performance again. Wish he was a little more greedy at times. Do hope we see him in the middle a bit more too. Those driving runs could be a huge asset.
 
He's exactly what we need from the left. You can see for the goal that Jesus scored. A lot of people want a winger with pace, but that means nothing if you don't make the right decisions. His ability to time a perfect 5 yard ball into the path of a teammate is actually more difficult than people think, but he knows where the space is and times it to get it past the defender.
