villalad21 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Just now, villa4europe said: How many of us for how long said that the whole hold on the ball too long and wins free kicks thing was down to him having poor movement around him and in front of him, stick him in a team with better players and better movement and Jack will look even better... Citys movement was worse than ours normally is Obviously pep treating the game with disdain didn't help, the 3 players he linked up with the most as the cissokho-lite LB and two kids with number 80 and 96 on their back and even the better players weren't overly bothered from what I saw Jack's normal money shot of the perfectly weighted ball down the line for someone to run on to is completely wasted when that player has no one in the middle let alone a good in the air striker He'll be fine when he gets up to speed and the real city turn up but today was poor from them, treated it like a nothing game That's maybe why their fans didn't bother They did look a bit casual. Got to credit Leicester though. Really treated this like a proper final. Happy they won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post theboyangel Posted August 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 7, 2021 in all seriousness, I’d rather he still be with us than us laughing at him. However - he’s made his choice… 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshVilla Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 What he's going to find out very quickly is that City won't mess about. He was pretty much guaranteed a start at Villa regardless of form, but if he's not delivering the goods for City then they won't hesitate to bench him. Obviously it's one game, but I can only imagine how he would take that considering he sulked when getting subbed off with 2 mins to go for Villa. His ego is going to take an almighty wallop....

sidcow Posted August 7, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 7, 2021 But he was supposed to win a trophy in his first game. That's what the Mancs told us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 It's gonna take him time to adapt to them to be fair. Completely different patterns of play etc But still. Look at the players he is competing with. I'm edging to 50/50 whether he's gonna be a success for them or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulberto21 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Ol' shin splints will get used to them and he'll be one of the main players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted August 7, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 7, 2021 I thought he looked alright. Played some nice passes. But yeah, I echo other comments previously, he's going to have to adapt his game a bit as the ball isn't going to be coming to him at every opportunity at City. He'll be fine though.

foreveryoung Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 He ain't all that Pep I tells ya! Amazing footballing brain, but sometimes struggles his knackers off to put it on the field. He has nearly a Billion quids worth of team there, an takes Leicester for granted, poor management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the only way to slow down this massive player inflation. The club could have just given £200 to everyone who lives in Manchester - and thats a train ride across a city that takes ages - and in EVERY flat, in EVERY house, in Every school office shop Church and pub, everyone, man woman and child could have been £200 richer, for what the diving clearing in the woods with the shit hair cost them.

AVTuco Posted August 7, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 7, 2021 I wanted Jack to do well. He didn't. Nothing match to City, but not to Jack. He needs to be much more involved if he wants to be a starter. My gut feeling is that he'll become an impact sub, just like he is for England, because he doesn't influence the game enough for the whole 90 minutes. It will be interesting to follow him still.

I don't think what he did or that line up had anything to do with Leicester, he based on what he thinks of the cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trying to sound harsh on you in particular, and I'm not happy with Jack's behaviour to get the move, but what did people expect from Jack today? He's only just joined, and probably not even trained with them properly yet. Once he gels to Pep's system and the other players he's going to be good for them. He's too good not to be be.
