87 | James McAtee - 2024/25

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Hope he gets 90 minutes against Salford.

Surely he will. Otherwise I think he will be off

Atleast he came off the bench. That never happened previously. He just needs to trust him.

It would have been nice to see him come on instead of Gundo when we were having our best moment of the game. Pep brought him on, when we had largely lost the plot.

 

[super_city_si]

Been controlled when hes come on last 2 games. Maybe pep will start trusting him more.

 

[skillman]

Shame he seems to come on when the rest of the team is dead set on not attacking anymore. Palmer had it similar but was impatient on the ball which led to him not being trusted. McAtee seems to be all for the keep ball tactic which may stand him in good stead for Pep’s good books.

It's taken a long time for McAtee to start getting a chance again with Pep after the Feyenoord debacle (not all his fault, obviously). Not much of a run out today when the team was set on seeing the game out. Needs to be given his chance soon and presumably will start in the Cup.

Not all his fault? None of that Feyernoord game was McAtee’s fault! Just because he was brought on doesn’t mean any of those three goals were hit fault! The defence (Josko) totally imploded.

None of the Feyenoord game was his fault in my view and it’s incredibly harsh to judge a young player on 20 minutes after not playing in months

Agreed on the goals but he had a pretty terrible time after being brought on, couldn't keep the ball, couldn't pass it to a teammate, got booked after losing possession carelessly. I was hoping he'd start today and hope he does so next Saturday.

He got booked for pulling the keeper back. He didn’t lose possession when he got booked?

I’ve just had a look at the stats from that game and his pass completion was 85% compared to Kev’s whopping 65%
McAtee was dispossessed once, Kev twice.

Out of the subs that came on he wasn’t the worst.

Shame he only got10 mins, shame Pep subbed Kovacic from midfield first so Ilkay was the more likely sub for that role
