Dont be obsessed with other peoples opinion, your opinion not convincinf either as you said he can operate tight spaces and retains possession which is not true.Last night literally proves nothing where games against Prem opposition are concerned.For the first 20 mins,we could barely put a decent attacking pass together.
Grealish operates in tight spaces,he plays exquisite intricate balls and retains possession better than anyone - he is one of the first names on the sheet as he is perfect for our play.
Our team hasnt even got going yet,players arent properly fit and they are still working on best tactics.
Your opinion is very premature.
Foden and mahrez are better operating tight spaces, speader, and play with intensity. Time will tell the truth, the season is just beginning lets wait.
i hope he plays well and wish him for the best but in my opinion foden and mahrez should start ahead of him.
