He was part of the reason it was a shit show. If he had not been so petulant and missed the match due to being an idiot, he could have played on the left, Foden on the right, Bernie in the middle with Rico and Stones stepping up from the back.Like clockwork, the usual suspects are back slagging Jack off despite the fact he wasn’t even part of last night’s shitshow.
Control was crucial to Pep’s philosophy up until this year, regardless of Grealish.I like Jack but this “control” thing has become a buzz word.
The inconsistency in giving th card drives me nuts. But yes, you don't want to test it. As some at some point give the cardIt was idiotic to even test it, but I swear I've seen multiple players kick the ball away since that Spurs game and not get a card. It's so inconsistently given.
As a general rule, our control is worse when it's in our half or predominantly at the feet of one of our defenders...Control was crucial to Pep’s philosophy up until this year, regardless of Grealish.
We don’t have as much this season, along with less creativity, so we’re struggling a little bit at present.
True, to a degree, but that depends on our build up and the opposition‘s press.As a general rule, our control is worse when it's in our half or predominantly at the feet of one of our defenders...
The less it's in our half and at the feet of a defender, the better.
Id fancy Jack in the Alvarez/ Kevin Role
Don't be silly.He was part of the reason it was a shit show. If he had not been so petulant and missed the match due to being an idiot, he could have played on the left, Foden on the right, Bernie in the middle with Rico and Stones stepping up from the back.
That imo would have made a massive difference to our set up.
I'd also like him there, but two+ years of him never playing there suggests pep doesn't.As a general rule, our control is worse when it's in our half or predominantly at the feet of one of our defenders...

No one is digging out Rodri for getting his fifth yellow on his thread since last night.He was part of the reason it was a shit show.

In fairness he’s in a position where stopping attacks is pretty essential. Grealish has barely played and managed 5. Most of them for petty arguments etc rather than trying to make tackles.No one is digging out Rodri for getting his fifth yellow on his thread since last night.
So bloody predictable.
Mate Rodri was booked for a professional foul and and in my opinion very unlucky as it was more clumsy and his first of the game.....he had plenty of stick on here for his silly reaction to get a straight red v Forrest .No one is digging out Rodri for getting his fifth yellow on his thread since last night.
So bloody predictable.
