87 | James McAtee - 2024/25

[Grealish’s Shinpads]

Literally was one of little bright sparks that team had, what do you want him to do? Score 30 goals and get Sheff Utd into Europa league?

And you clearly must be Pep in disguise if your going to hold that against him for the entireity of his career, its fucking embarassing.

Yeah mate I’m Pep in disguise because I don’t rate McAtee and think he isn’t good enough for us because he can’t get a game

 

[jollylescott]

Pep insisted that McAtee not go out on loan because ‘he is so good in small spaces’.

I'm sorry but this is on Pep. To state openly that he wanted ‘Macca’ in the squad, and then not play him at all, is quite frankly very disappointing management.

 

[Grealish’s Shinpads]

Yeah Eric Garcia was absolutely good enough, Rico Lewis my word he's so good, totally deserves to start every single week, oh and Nathan Ake was relegated with Bournemouth, so was Ortega in Germany, I guess we should've never signed them.

And who was better than Palmer when he left ? Mahrez was gone we had no other right wingers, you think Bobb was better ?

Rogers can say what he wants, we don't know if they were good enough because they had zero minutes here, Garcia definitely wasn't good enough because he was given minutes and we watched him play, and he went on and proved that at Barca later on, yet Pep played him until he left, just admit Pep gets it wrong sometimes please.

Difference being that Ortega and Ake stood out in their teams.

Palmer left because we got a ridiculous offer for an unproven player. In the season before he left we had better players in his position - both Mahrez and Bernardo were preferred.

Garcia has been playing week in week out for Barcelona.

You keep regurgitating this same argument that all these subpar players could’ve been world beaters but they didn’t get minutes so we will never know…probably wouldn’t have won the treble or four in a row if they had done

And McAtee didn't ? ridiculous offer for Palmer or not it left us with no right wingers because Mahrez left, just like Alvarez it was shit squad planning.

Garcia hasn't been playing week in week out, he only plays when there is an injury crisis and Barca has had a lot of them in recent years, he was even sent on loan to Girona last season because that's how important he is.


Once again pal no one says those players should've been starting in the treble season, I'm saying they could've been given minutes to prove their worth but they never did, Foden wasn't good enough to start for the centurions and domestic treble teams, but was still given enough minutes to keep him at the club. we could've done the same with some of the names mentioned, and yes if they don't get any minutes we don't know how good they are, simple.

McAtee couldn’t do a job for a side that got relegated but yeah Pep must be clueless for not playing him week in week out.

What was he meant to do? That side was awful. He was brilliant in the championship and had a few good moments for them in the prem.

No your Pep in disguise because you seem to be blinded by this whole mantra that Pep sees him in training so thats that. Pep sees a lot in training, then he sees 90mins every 3 days for the past several weeks and we have been complete shit.

 

[Gobshiight]

That McAtee isn't good enough to displace anyone in our worst run of form for decades says it all

Should've been sold in the summer but I guess he wanted to give it one more go at his boyhood club

He's not the answer

How do you know he isn’t good enough?

Presume you said the same about palmer when he wasn’t played as well?

 

[Richie Rich]

Pep also saw Palmer in training so that's fucking irrelevant.

I was too busy watching us win a treble and three consecutive league titles. Palmer was behind Foden, de Bruyne, Silva, Grealish, Sterling and Mahrez for the majority of time he was with us

He's a completely different player anyway. Not in the same league as Palmer
