It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

There seems to be an element of city fans who also want Jack to fail? Very strange and maybe they have been warped by the media

Agree with this.

Grealish was class towards end of last season and played well last weekend, let’s hope it continues. Classy player.

Everyone's opinion is so binary on here nowadays. Shite or brilliant. No inbetween. Grealish was decent last season. No more, no less. Certainly not 'shite'.

Is that a list of the rags' points tally for their next 27 games?

Kev won a few awards before that and had a few more caps.

True but besides the Gillette soccer special panel de Bruyne at Wolfsburg was recognized as a talent? Kev done ok under pellegrini but has hit his straps under pep? Under pep has become the world class player he is and I personally expect Jack to improve a lot. De Bruyne though is special and not fair to compare the two.

Too many one’s

A love triangle ? Saucy

in her mind, Zinny had to leave for Arsenal because awkward mistaken identity incidents grew unmanageable

Kev wasn't orignally signed on £400k p/w and he did earn his pay rise.

As I understand it, the lad was only on £85.00 a week and luncheon vouchers when he first signed.

Don’t agree mate but respect your opinion. I think he’s suffered slightly not being a free spirit like he was at villa but should understand his role better this season. Thought he was much improved against west ham and given a run of games can make more impact as the season goes on.

Thanks for the considered response. I accept there are differences of opinion but the patronising attitude towards those that don't rate him and say we are desperate for him to fail or have bought into the media narrative is simply arrogant shite.
I want him to succeed because it will be good for City, but I form my opinions .. always have. I always put my club before any individual player. Not sure everyone else does.

Do what I’ve done, learn to judge after two seasons. Otherwise a number of our very good players would be written off. He’s played in a much better team, in a different position being asked to play completely differently. Has never had an overlapping full back to help when he’s forward so he only has his cut in and pass backwards on. Love him to be more direct and I hope it will come this season. If not then yeah we can judge. He was great against West Ham and was huge in the second goal, pulling numerous players out of position to allow Kdb the time to pick the perfect pass out. Didn’t get a goal or assist so the people with hard ons for stats will claim he was shit. Football though isn’t it, opinions but I think for many the 100m good looking lad who enjoys himself outside of football will never do enough for many, maybe not you but an awful lot of the balding old men who I witnessed nearly popping veins screaming at him at the community shield after every touch. For them it will never matter what he does unfortunately.

Seen so many say we need more in the squad. After S Gomez I think we’re set, certainly until Jan.
