To be honest at the game his injury struck me as he's done something wrong so pretends to be injured to hopefully avoid a bollocking. Probably wrong but wouldn't be the first time a player has done it, especially not with a young Brazilian. So much to like about him as a player though. Biggest...

Elite sport is irrelevant and frankly so is every other person in the world who have had difficulties in their life. It isn't black and white and certainly isn't point scoring of who has had something worse happen to them but reacted better. Even more so when we have no clue of the...

I think the most frustrating thing about this year and Grealish is how much he would probably suit the inverted / narrow wingers Pep was toying with.

Still find the hate on Grealish very strange / strong. Certainly seems to go past just not rating a player and comes across as a personal vendetta at times. He's clearly had a poor season and he will be the first person to admit that but nobody knows what has happened in his life this season...

I think he could potentially play with them as well. Similar system to Brighton would allow those 3, De Bruyne and Foden. Paqueta playing where Silva did and Guimaraes where Kovacic did.

I've thought the same a few times this year. Its as if he knows how important to us and tries to carry the team on his back at times. Its not really something you want to comment on when he's the best in the world at what he does though. That said, this season it seems the positions he ends up...

Valid points, like everything there's always extremes I guess. I feel with Akanji that's where Pep should do what he does best and adapt the system to the players rather than forcing Akanji in that role. Having said that though he clearly feels he can play it so it isn't forcing anything in his...

Seems strange that you can't comment on things without the "pep knows best" tag line being rolled out. As great as he is, he makes mistakes. As fans we're entitled to question his decision and rational behind things and aren't down playing him, his knowledge or suggesting we know better than him...

Massive asset just how comfortable he is on the ball. More so though how comfortable he is on his weak foot for a centre half. It will be really important down the line for playing out having a CB as comfortable as he is on his right as he is his left.

Its the crunch part of the season now and I'm just not sure he should be starting if it isn't as a striker. No doubt he can do a job in midfield but there was times when he was playing like a double pivot next to Rodri. It just doesn't suit him or the team and I really don't see the benefit in...

I think its being missed that Grealish was ill for a week before Newcastle. From peps words he didn't even finish Fridays training session so was never going to start. Bobb was then given his chance at Spurs after his Newcastle performance and it being the cup. Then last night was probably a...

Some of the comments just seem really reactive, the worst of his decision making came when he made runs centrally. Its hardly a surprise that a young winger doesn't always pick the right option when moving through those areas. They're inexperienced in general let alone breaking through the...

Honestly come away from that thinking that's the player we signed. Mad how you can come on here and people see the compete opposite. Showed for me how much of a useful asset he could be for us, his ability on the ball is ridiculous really for a defender and he's so comfortable on both feet. I...

To be honest that kind of backs up my point. I'm not trying to say that performance makes him an instant starter or a brilliant signing suddenly (I know you aren't saying otherwise) but more so highlighted his potentially assets to the team. His off the ball running/movement in behind from...

Agenda may have been a poor choice of word but people seem to have this obsession with wanting to right players off before they're even been given a chance. Instead of objectively trying to look at a player and see what they could bring they're instantly deemed a level below and not good enough...

Like Nunes I'm shocked at how quiet it is in here. Brilliant performance, couldn't really ask for more all things considered.

Strangely quiet in here, guess today's performance didn't suit certain agendas enough

Mixture of potential fatigue and just generally trying too hard/over thinking I think. With big players missing he clearly wants to step up but we're better with him just playing his game and things coming naturally

People must watch a different game again. Maybe it's a bit like grealish in it's not always obvious what he brings. Foden was just as anonymous in the first half but that's just the way it was. What he did bring was some great runs and penetration in behind. Created a lot of space for Bernardo...

Don't want to dig him out too much because I think we can all see his poor form recently but if anyone can turn it around it's him. However, as a captain that just seems like such a poor comment. Just reads a bit like "I'm not the only one who's been crap look at the others". Which obviously has...
