Shock as good player joins City, takes a while to get up to speed. Then is great again.

Some cunts never learn. Thick as fuck.

 

[Keeper!]

Something has clicked mentally with him in recent months. It’s clear he now feels like he belongs here, but also that he doesn’t need to be subservient to KDB and others. He’s seemingly realised he is able to influence the game himself and willing to take on the responsibility of doing so. Playing with a swagger now.

100% this, up to the WC he looked lost and somewhat overawed with the club and team but now has become a huge part of this side and is starting to lead and take the initiative, great to see.

Much higher work rate these days than even a few months ago, really showing his class now. Great display yesterday, MOTM for me.

 

[Lauz9888]

I wonder what happened at the World Cup to send him back to us with such confidence and determination.

It's not like England had a particularly great tournament, or like Southgate played him much or showed much faith in him - but maybe he's got his heart set on proving himself indispensable for the next international tournament.

Or maybe he's just someone who really loves warm weather training.

Or maybe the effluxion of further time marked his further assimilation into learning how to play under Pep.

I’m not normally given to pointing out when people have made incorrect calls, nor least because we all do, myself very much included, but there have to be some limits placed upon that.

The sheer arrogance of some posters, failing to wait and see, despite the track record of the greatest club manager in world football in improving players and the period of time that usually takes if they are attacking players, truly was astonishing and speaks more to their limitations and insecurities than anything else, as does their conspicuous absence from this thread in recent weeks.

Really pleased for Jack, but not surprised. Call me crazy, but I was prepared to back Pep Guardiola’s judgement and give him and Jack the benefit of doubt. The fact that others manifestly and repeatedly weren’t shows their own complete lack of judgement, and given it involved slagging one of our own, a lack of support and, in some instances, naked disloyalty.

We’ve all had to sit next to these cunts at games. Can’t wait to get on certain players backs because of their own pitiful insecurities. Spoiling the experience for those around them. Sad, selfish cunts who know better than everyone else, including Pep Guardiola, yet never seem to learn.

i was going to say that :)

jack has been immense this last month or so, i get the feeling players we bring in are having to think too much ,it detracts from their game , but then it clicks, don't have to think it becomes instinct then they can flourish into the player pep wanted, we've see it countless times eg. rodri the plodder , gundo hes dogshit and fucked,ffs and even bernardo, yet as you say the same boring fuckers shout the loudest.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Come into his own now Jackie boy,Fantastic Footballer never doubted him one bit.

Good post. I for one have been willing Jack to succeed because he’s got that personality and infectious enthusiasm and is a good player.
I’m still a bit concerned about lack of goals and end product. Sure, he’s consistently playing well now but also want him to be the game changer when we need it (especially as Kev is out of form, Erling tightly marked etc).

 

[mccity]

I do wonder if he might ever play centrally. His ability to change forward with the ball is so impressive.

 

[Rolo]

I just absolutely love watching him play, he makes everything looks effortless. Hopefully he can chip in with a few goals in the run in because I believe he can go up a level again. First name on the team sheet for me at the minute along with Haaland, Foden, Dias and Ake.
