87 | James McAtee - 2024/25

[Xhavenjoe]

He is getting very few chances so the pressure is immense for him to perform highly in every single apearance. Thats impossible. No one performs at 100% on demand. De Bruyne looks league 2 level without match cadence. Foden was abysmal when he came on. He's in a really tough position.

We missed 3 very good chances yesterday.
2 in the 1st half from Savinho crosses to Gundogan and Marmoush.
McAtee missed a relatively simple chance in the second half, clipping the outside of the post.
He tried bending the ball with the outside of his left foot instead of taking the easier option of his right foot.
Looks like he is lacking confidence and over compensating in taking the more difficult options.

Pep is starting to trust him more. He’s coming off the bench more now and he’s showing he can be a valuable squad player

What’s clear is that hes a natural goal scorer, something a lot of our players don’t have.

It suits him now that we play with more players around Haaland in terms of goal scoring.

Maybe with time he can bring the midfield composure side to him back in like Phil showed today.

The lad has got an eye for goal, he can be a decent super sub but that means Pep has got to use his bench more and not just when we're 3 or 4 up.

Always in the right place when it comes to loose balls in the box. A very handy trait and not one that can be taught.

That finish is a lot harder than it looks, really good finish that, reminded me of a Sergio goal. It might not be a significant goal but if he comes on and makes an impact consistently enough, it will not go unnoticed by Pep. Just needs to keep going, he's a very talented player and i still believe there's a role for him here, it's just whether it's a role he wants. Really need to get him tied to a new contract so that we have control over his future, could cost us tens of millions if we dont.
