The guy who first started the rumour is already starting to backtrack. Unless we hear it from an actual journalist, or Pep himself, I'm not concerned.
No it didn’t. What are you basing this on - some tosser on Twitter ??Jack was all about Pep believed in him last season. Struggling again and some competition in Doku made him Diva.
Doubt Grealish would be in the squad tonight if those rumours were true.
Likely just tactical IMO, with KDB and Haaland out for ages you really need your wingers getting a few more goals and assists to compensate. Jack’s offering is much more valuable when you have those two doing the bits he’s not so good at.I’ve had a feeling though that all is not right behind the scenes with Jack though recently, barely getting near the pitch.
Whilst we’re nowhere near the business end of the season, history tells us that Pep starts finding a first 11 around this time.
Never quite as simple as that but line ups definitely become easier to guess.
It wouldn’t surprise Grealish being very disappointed to be left out. However, whether he would behave like that is another matter.
Let’s see what happens tonight and let’s back Jack to get back to his best.
