87 | James McAtee - 2024/25

[John Wayne]

Breakthrough moment?

 

[jamielowndes]

It's a tiny sample size, but he has to be worth gambling on for the rest of the season. We need bodies and he has earned a little bit of trust for future games.

 

[RayCTID]

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

We won't get rid mid season. He even mentioned even if he doesn't get many games he is here for the experience and it probably means for the whole season.

 

[samuelyeboah]

In an alternate universe pep subs on gundo instead and we draw the game

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Pep heard the outrage and gave him a chance, and the lad's taken it with both hands. Beautiful.

 

[Haaland94]

Start him in the next game. Brilliant

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Really took his chance. Great cameo.

 

[Ezy]

Well done to the lad i so hope he gets more opportunities!!

 

[Damien10]

Finally. And he didn’t disappoint!

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

Skill, energy, composure. Exactly what we’ve been crying out for

 

[jollylescott]

Great cameo.

Thank goodness Pep finally gave him a chance, and given he'd played about 2 minutes of football all season, that was a great effort.

 

[mccity]

He looked like he had far more energy and sharpness than the rest of the 11

 

[Don Karleone]

Buzzing for him

 

[oldius]

Offered a lot in attack and diligent in defence. That was an excellent cameo that made a difference.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Finally gets a proper chance and shows what he can do. Hopefully he starts more games now

If we end up selling him we’d be making a massive mistake

 

[maurizio]

Enjoyed his football today. I like to watch good players with skill and he's definitely got that.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

He looked like he had far more energy and sharpness than the rest of the 11

This alone would suggest he should see more minutes? I mean, he can actually move, which gives him a huge advantage over some of the others out there.

 

[01cravend]

Got us forward really well..Slowed it down when needed. He made us a better team. Kev and Erling came alive with him on and we were better defensively as we kept the ball better.
Surely earned start vs WestHam

 

[colbee59]

He's got to start in front of Foden, Foden doesn't look interested

 

[dhruvblue]

A young player shows energy and enthusiasm

Shocked?
