It’s probably most linked to pep refusing to make subs when we are drawing/losing
Definitely a case for that to be true.It’s probably most linked to pep refusing to make subs when we are drawing/losing
Aston Villa under Dean Smith won an average of 0.9 points per game without Jack, and 1.5 points per game with him.
We have a better group of players and a better manager by far, and I think there's multiple factors at work leading to the points dropped in his absence. It's definitely not as simple as we just need to play Jack and we win.
But he's got form for making a team play better, way above and beyond his individual goal contributions. I think we see it for England too.

While I think we need a proper left-winger as an option I just don't get why Grealish didn't start on Saturday and at the dippers????

Yep.
Like the "dropping points when Grealish hasn't played" stat above, correlation does not imply causation and there are multiple other factors.
I've also seen it on here (I think on here but might have been elsewhere) that last season we did better in the league with him rather than without him. Simply, that's false information.
22 games he started we were W15 D5 L2 (ppg 2.27)
18 games he didn't start we were W14 D1 L1 (ppg 2.68)
Again, correlation isn't causation so a case of "so what" for me.
Edit: slight typo - should read

Perhaps he is just lucky. I'd say play him. I'd rather we win with his luck.Like everything in football there is always context but it’s a pretty interesting stat.

6 starts out of 14 in the league.Perhaps the team is just better with him in it.
14th in the squad for minutes played but ahead of Mahrez and Alvarez.
He's been a squad player for all of calendar year 2022. Post-world cup and the mad schedule in 2023 I bet we see much more of him and ample playing time to prove himself fully to Pep and move up the rotation.

That's my belief. But for those who think it's luck, well I'm happy to be lucky.Perhaps the team is just better with him in it.

We got ppg ~2.45 last season. If a player got ppg slightly above or below 2.45 within 0.5 point difference it is expected because we rarely lose/draw game.
However this season in PL the difference with/without Grealish on the pitch is too massive. He has 3 ppg and we get ~1.33 without his involvement. ~1.7 when he did not start. In statistics ppg difference more than 1 point with/without is HUGE, more than 1.5 point it is just ridiculous.
General speaking if a player has such a stats, he is either extremely relied by the team or his replacement is very poor, or both. Team would be advised to purchase a better sub for this player to avoid overlay relying on him.
Apparently I don't think Jack is doing that excellent.
Then the reason must be that his replacement's overall contribution to the team very poor - commonly it is usually someone good in attacking but lack in defensive contribution.

I do find it odd when some City fans go out of their way to constantly criticise players. Each to their own I guess.

By 'going out of their way' do you mean they run around the street for a bit before going into the living room to fire up the laptop?I do find it odd when some City fans go out of their way to constantly criticise players. Each to their own I guess.
