Terrific player. Has always been a big game player. Shite game from him and his teammates yesterday.

Never been much of a fan before.. but absolutely love all the drunk jack memes after the final.

This guy. Fucking love those drunk clips, in this modern robotic "healthy living, watch for your public image" this guy partying and rightefully after winning all there is to win this season on club level. And being pretty good whole season. Rightful reward, congrats to him.

 

[Temptation]

Brutally honest interview. Wow!

Changed my mind over him. He still is overrated as a footballer, but a top lad otherwise.

You still find him overrated? Wtf bro?

 

[Porque]

Bit of a pleb. But who wasn't in their 20s. Plus can't blame the lad, having his brain in his calves and all that.

Some of his numbers still need a lot of work. He benched Foden yet only scored 5 goals all season, while Foden scored 15. Even Sancho after an awful season and fewer games managed 7.

He’s never been a numbers player though and never will be. Just not his game.

 

[DonAK]

His connection with Haaland in particular is great. On and off the pitch.

You don't need to be a numbers guy to score more than 5 goals for Manchester City playing in a wide position though. That's only one more than Rodri.

But Pep clearly has no issue with it as he plays him in every big game without fail now. He’s clearly doing what’s being asked of him otherwise he wouldn’t be starting.

They also knew he wasn’t a numbers player when they gave us 100 mill for him. He literally could only muster 6 goals for us in the Championship.

By this logic no starting player ever needs to improve.

I didn't imply that a starting player doesn't need to improve.

He has improved massively already since being at City which is why he starts every week for a treble winning side. What he does effectively for City has nothing to do with his own goal tally though.

Now he regularly wins most duels, most take ons, most fouls won and most chances created in a game and is super consistent at that.

I'm not sure what's being asked of him could be translated into more goals without negating the other stuff he's doing well for the team.
