Plays well and scores and a goal and all people want to focus on is his yellow card.

But reading this thread normally people think he’s shit and shouldn’t be starting, so why is anyone bothered he’s missing the Villa game?

Grealish haters are so consumed by hate they can’t even be consistent about it.

Yeah they were the better side for me second half. Wasn’t just on Grealish but he certainly didn’t make a big difference. He was ok though and scored.

It gave Tottenham freedom to start attacking and they suddenly felt less under pressure. They brought the game to us and they weren't as concerned as they were the 1st half. Our defense has been so unreliable, its shocking, our attack is also toothless, it takes too much more effort for us to score.

1. Grealish has been playing with City 22 months (not counting world cup and summer breaks). He has been excellent for 7 months (mid-October to mid-April of last year). That's like 33% of the time he's been excellent. The rest he has been just ok, sometimes even underwhelming. Compare that to Alvarez or Haaland (to say a new player). Both have been excellent most of the time. And let's not even bring people like KDB, Bernardo, Rodri or Dias who all have been exceptional for the last 3 seasons. If Dias is having a poor start of the season (which he is), you know that is the exception, and we all know he will come back to his normal level because he has shown what his level is for a looong time. But with Grealish, we don't know: were those 7 months his real level or an exception? Doubting him and criticizing him is more logical that any of those guys.

Man City 4 - 0 Real Madrid on May 17, 2023. Does it count as mid-April in your calendar?

WHAT A LOT OF B**T!

BTW Dias was not anything "good" in the first half of last season. Bernado had tough time as well as KDB.
 
Warmed up with venom, came on and had an impact, scored, maybe he’d have scored again we will never know thanks to that **** with the whistle, but played to me like he’s a point to prove and he probably has to be fair but did well

His yellow card was ridiculous and petulant.
He was playing well and causing Spurs problems.

Going on to the pitch, he knew he was one card away from a suspension and also aware that Doku had come off with a possible injury.
If he had got booked for something other than for kicking the ball away, I might agree with you but on this occasion there is reason for people to focus on the yellow card. Its immature and certainly not helping his team out.

The question should be why aren't you focusing on the yellow?

I don't agree he played well. I dont think he was bad but from the period he came on until the end of the game I don't think there's a single player that played well, we were completely under the cosh for the last half hour at home to a Spurs C team. The whole team was complete shit, grealish didn't standout enough to be worthy of exclusion from that statement.

However, Nobody else was one booking away from a suspension despite not committing a single yellow card worthy foul all season and didn't just replace his direct injured replacement before petulantly kicking the ball away and getting that very booking he would have been told to avoid less than 10 minutes after coming on.

He's now unavailable in what's going to be a very tough game off the back of 3 games without a win knowing that doku was probably going to be unavailable and being aware rodri was also going to be missing.

Your failure to question his utter stupidity here and bang on about "haters" says significantly more than anything.
 
Great goal and it's not his fault at all that it wasn't the winner, just like it wasn't his fault that his opener at Old Trafford last season wasn't the winner. He's been unlucky a few times like that.

And I've been one of his bigger critics on here. Not his fault, that one.

That’s shocking to be fair.

Not close to being good enough for a top club. Doesn’t have the pace to do anything other than come inside. He needs a left back overlapping and taking a defender away, but we can’t play like that because we have no legs in midfield to mop up the counter attack if we lose the ball. I’d try him as an 8 in Julian’s position. He couldn’t be any less effective than he is now. He has 1 goal in 27 games ffs.

The disrespect is crazy... I'm not the biggest Grealish fan either but good grief.

Man relax, you are gonnna get sick from so much anger. Clearly, you are not someone you can have a logical argument with, so I am not gonna bother, but most of us want Jack to succeed, because we want City to succeed.

I’m not saying HE isn’t good enough for a top club. I’m saying his output - 1 goal in 27 isn’t good enough for a top club when he occupies an attacking position. It clearly isn’t. It’s deluded to think that it is.

He's not a natural goal-scorer. He's never been. Go look at his reel of goals at Villa-it's also wildly underwhelming.

Pep doesn't play Grealish for goals, though. I'll be the first to tell you he's not a 100M player, but he is one of those players who won't show up in the stat sheet but contributes heavily to a team's success, as he has ours.

Wow just wow, is there a what a load of bollocks button on here
 
Idiotic yellow that makes him miss his return to Villa and with the loss of Rodri and Doku will cost us dear.

Decent when he came on and at least for once he put the ball in the back of the net and should have been given the chance to be the hero in the last seconds, shocking decision by the ref.
