87 | James McAtee - 2024/25

[bluegaz13]

McAtee and Gundogan aren't fighting for game time.

Pep has got to give McAtee his chance…Gundogan can’t play every game.

His link up play was very silky in the 20 mins he had last night and there is definitely a player in there.

We cannot make the same mistake that we made with Palmer (and it was a mistake however we try and a camouflage it)

We haven’t got much to complain about as City fans but I fail to understand why he is not given more of a chance against the so called weaker teams.

I was glad to see Gundogan return but not at the expense of some of the younger talent.

Just one minute of PL football so far, and that’s with an injury crisis, us struggling to break down team and both Bernardo and Gundogan having below par seasons. His chances will be even more limited when De Bruyne and Bobb are back so he probably needs a loan in January.

Should be playing the full 90 against Spurs.

Frustrating yesterday, we have a creative goal scoring midfielder and he stays on the bench. Baffling.

Same as with Foden and Palmer. One ended well, one didn’t. One was malleable and deferential, the other less patient and forgiving.

I’ve no idea how capable this guy is but nor do I see him in training. If he’s good enough for the (injury-hit) squad, he needs to get more than 30 seconds here and there. He doesn’t expect to be a regular starter.

Still, we stand to get a few million for him at the end of the season.

Sure the money will be nice, but I always hope ( a romantic fantasy perhaps ) to see the more talented young players advance into the first team and get a chance to show their ability.

McAtee has said the right things but inwardly must be disappointed not to have had more game time, especially when the team has injury issues atm.

Hopefully he gets a game at Spurs and has a good game .

Or against one of the goat-herder teams in the CL.

Something I like with James is he has a natural drop of the left shoulder so can go outside when needed so I think he can play quite a few positions inside or outside very well .

 

[K-Bo]

Looking average.

He's got to take this opportunity with all these injuries.
