10 | Jack Grealish - 2022/23 Performances

[kanovic]

Thought he played great. He was all over the pitch. Like his passion too

 

[OrigamiNinja]

He has no control if a teammate misses chances.

Looking at it in such a simple way as "end product" is naive.

Every wide man in world football creates chances for players who miss them. Grealish isn’t special in that regard.

He played well but I don’t understand how people think that one of our wide forwards doesn’t have to chip in with goals and assists.

 

[Ashleymcduff]

Him and mahrez are our 1st choice wingers for sure …

Up to Foden to step and take one of their places

 

[chris85mcfc]

Brilliant today, just needs to keep working on his impact in the final 3rd

Again, as I said, you can make good chances but if your teammate misses them what do you want?

He could score more goals, he was unlucky with the clearance.

But your not making any sense with the assists metric, there are way more stats like xA, key passes, GCA/SCA to look at creativity.

But he’s got 4 goals and assists in the last 6 league games so why make an issue of it now when his all round game is getting better and better?

 

[St.Pauli support]

Both Grealish and Mahrez have massively improved their defensive work rate for the team and that's so important with our high line setup.

Foden would have to match that first before anything else.

 

[yankblue]

We're a far better team with him than without him. Simple as can be.

I understand the G/A knock but he's improved recently and has been far more aggressive as of late.

Someone posted in the match thread it's like he's beginning to believe he's a City player and that's spot on imo.

I feel like you’re arguing for arguing sake.

He played well. I want more goals and assists from a wide forward at City. That’s it. If that doesn’t make sense to you, then I can’t help ya. I don’t think it’s an outlandish thought, that forwards score and create goals.

If you don’t want more goals and assists, fine, but I bet if asked (and he has been asked previously) Grealish would be more aligned to my way of thinking than yours.

Foden would have to match that first before anything else.

He got back more defending today then Gundogan and De bruyne did, his workrate and ability to take the ball under pressure is a huge asset for us.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

Nobody is making an issue of it now. It’s been an issue since he signed. He is playing great and the next step is to consistently chip in with goals and assists.

Ironic.

After yet another good performance by Jack you are the one arguing about stats. Why not just enjoy his and City's great performance today?

Your making a mistake when you say way of thinking. Thats your problem.

Im saying G/A is a misguided way to judge his performances.

Everyone wants more of them, but a combo of being unlucky or teammates not converting can affect it when you have no control.

Even goals which is his weakest part, he has some he places well away from keeper but then a defender rushes in to block it. Have nuance in your judgement.

 

[TFC]

He is more than justifying a starting berth at the moment. Keep it up jack

 

[sir baconface]

Russell Hobbs maybe?

A Russell in your hedgerow?

But don’t be alarmed.

 

[samuelyeboah]

if he improves his decision making and end product a little he'll be worth every penny

 

[Dazzle84]

Starting to believe

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Thought he was fantastic today.

 

[youngbob]

Thread is very quiet of late.

Must mean he's playing well.

Don't worry when we either draw or lose this thread will instantly get 10+ pages in single day even if he is not playing.
