87 | James McAtee - 2024/25

[Alan Harper's Tash]

We can't trust any of our players not to commit any brainfarts, any of our players now can fuck it up at any moment except maybe Ake.

That’s true. I’m surprised there isn’t more of a clamour for Carson to go in net.

He’s not messed up in years.

Feyenoord. Fuck me, that was a lifetime ago. What about the games since?

Every player has an opportunity to impress the manager when they come on.
Pep has no favourites. He picks based on his expectations.
Somehow, many fans now think they are better judges of players than Pep just because we’re going through a rough patch.
Interesting times.

Even he made some costly mistakes last season. With James, though, if he plays every couple of months, he is going to be rusty, obviously.

When does Pep usually bring the subs on ?
How many subs does Pep usually make ?
City are completely out of the current trend of using all 5 subs at a time when they can influence or change the games.
This season, most games are being played at a much faster pace with managers taking more risks.
Perhaps, without City having their usual control, Pep needs to adapt to using all 15 players available ?

I bet he's pleased he made the bench again.

 

[King Jay]

sadly he is a victim of Pep barely using subs + pep refusing to use younger players right now when all his counter parts do the same especially during an injury crises

Football is moving on and younger managers are adapting .

Something to build upon. Now take your chance.

This kid is special. we cant let go of this lad. Pep needs to wake up and give him a chance. If we sell in January it will be another Cole Palmer

Better than Bernardo
