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.
Home Alone tour in New York at Christmas.
 
Finally looking like he's confident enough to not worry if things don't come off. Playing with the desire to win games and that's taking over from the "don't lose the ball" mindset. He put huge pressure on himself to get goals and assists and you could see the apologetic reaction when things didn't happen. He seems to have buried that now and just plays his natural game and it's working. The ball into Gundogan was possibly a bit too high, but a great chance. His dynamism led to Bernardo's goal and he did a similar run which led to Foden's chance to make it 3. All while working hard off the ball and being disciplined.

You don't twist when things are going well, but I'd still love to see him play centrally instead of De Bruyne. He'd do all the things De Bruyne is doing but with greater success based on comparative form at the moment.

I agree with this. He has that mixture of what Bernardo brings in being able to keep the ball under pressure and the running of KDB with the ball. The only thing he is really missing is that through-ball, but when he comes inside he looks really good.

He can play the through ball no problem. It's easier from a central position facing forwards than when he's out wide with two players around him. He's starting to show a relationship with the other players now which is helping him tick. At Villa he was the star man but he had people running off him and linking up with him to make things happen, the City players seem to know how he wants to play and he's therefore becoming more effective.

It's quite simple with Jack, he wants you to move into space and he wants the ball to feet. Do that and he'll do the rest.

Many different reasons but the main one IMO is Cancelo away from starting line.

As many said before it is never a good idea to have two right footed players on the left channel.
