A little bit different. Raz usually ran to the far post. Jack ran in front of a defender. But yeah I like those runs. Gundo is also a master of those little runs.The goal he scored yesterday was the type of goal Sterling was scoring for us on a regular basis eg Kdb cross into the six yard box. If he continues to make these runs into the box both Haaland and himself will get these opportunities and in time his goal tally will increase.
Probably not true but a report today indicating that Jack has told friends he won’t be at city next year. Not happy with the position he is expected to play. But then who could afford him even if true!
He was so much more effective in this game, excellent to see. I agree with your comments mate.He wasn’t particularly great. I thought the whole team was quite poor for long stretches today, including Jack. We were arguably as bad as we were at Villa but our opposition were very poor and we turned it on three times with fantastic play. Outside that Rodri was the only player who at some point didn’t either smash the ball out of play, to the opposition or lose it needlessly.
Grealish was better today but (I’ll never not have a but with anyone) there’s a way to go yet.
He is the new SterlingWilling him to do well long term but a irking feeling it may be bigger than that hope, the way he is vilified from the majority outside of city concerns me if I’m being honest; the mental strain of that could potentially always make his form ‘stop/start’…
At times Saturday I thought i was watching Robbie savage, not because of the football but the crowd reactions; he was literally assaulted by Collins yet he remained the pantomime dame….
And people may say it was the midlands rivalry but it’s 99% of opposing teams/fans, Christ on a bike, Athletico even bought into the narrative..
Anyway, here’s hoping he has the thick skin he’ll require as that hatred isn’t going anywhere!
Interesting. Maybe he knows if we really go for Leao that he will sit on the bench? Also I can understand him - not everyone wants to change his playstyle or lose his freedom within games.Probably not true but a report today indicating that Jack has told friends he won’t be at city next year.

The Marmite factor definitely....but the two are different in their approach to our shirt and the opportunity presented to them.He is the new Sterling
