He was so scared of shooting yesterday I was thinking this price-tag is gonna kill him if he doesn’t get a crucial goal in one of the big games after the international break.I know what you mean. I think it's a coin toss between him and Sterling because they present different options and different problems. The fact Jack is still bedding into the team means you may well be right.
If ever a player needs a big goal and/or performance it's him though. I think he knows he's not as good as the rest of the attackers and it's in his head a little bit.
1) how easy do you think it is to go from a team where you’re given ample amount of space on the ball every game, to a team where you have to work in tiny spaces and break down a 10 man defence every game? Even KDB struggles with that abit and he’s done nearly 2 seasons of it.please elaborate where you think i'm mistaken mate.. just an opinion ofc. but its bluemoon, no place for constructive discussion if it goes against the hivemind

In contrast to you I believe he brings something unique to this team (drawing lots of opponents on to him and out of position, while finding the free man). This will be crucial for our big matches IF he finds that confidence he had at villa.
That’s true and I hope his numbers will come, if not I think he will ”wilt under the pressure”.Fundmentally I don't really care how good he is at finding a free man or being able to buy a cheap foul by running towards his markers. You play in the front 3 you absolutely MUST deliver numbers. Every single week. If you don't, you aren't good enough for this team. Period. You look at Sterling's drop off in numbers last season and the reality is that nearly everyone wanted him sold. We've now dropped a record fee on a lad who seemingly won't ever get close to Sterling's output.
I suspect Grealish will end up an 8 in Pep's system. That's if he doesn't wilt under the pressure of playing for City.
This is exactly the reason he is going to end up an 8 imo, his output in terms of actions affecting games is the worst of our "front" players. We need more - passing it 7 yards out isn't it!Fundmentally I don't really care how good he is at finding a free man or being able to buy a cheap foul by running towards his markers.

Starting to show signs that next season, as with a lot of Peps signings it takes a year, he'll be the business. I'd assume that at least one of Jesus, Raz or Mahrez will be off so Haaland coming in wouldn't be an issue for game time.next season will be crucial for him.
I just haven't seen it from him yet, more or less every match i just feel underwhelmed by his input and performance. The only exception is perhaps the united game at home where he looked decent, but was allowed plenty of space.
