It would appear that Grealish is performing how Pep wants him to .
 
Out of interest, who on this forum do you think is willing him to fail?

the general footballing public, no just our fanbas
Foden will eventually end up in the midfield which is what should happen. Even Southgate has seen it and used him there and he was brilliant. Pep is one of the best managers in the world ,if not the best , and knows better than us folks on a forum.

He’s also our biggest goal threat; while we don’t have a natural centreforward, he has to play in a position as close to goal as possible. Also the natural width he’d provide on the outside would stretch opposition defences and create more space inside for the advancing midfielders to exploit.

Southgate doesn’t have Bernardo, De Bruyne and Gundogan as alternative options.

For a coach who’s obsessed with the half spaces, Pep doesn’t half enjoy congesting them. He seems to perceive simple, effective, logical football as below him, and that’s why he’s not won a Champions League for over a decade despite coaching the best squads in Europe in that time.
 
I see the anger towards our new signing has increased over the last few days. £100m so he should be able to win matches on his own? It don’t work like that and especially in a pep team.

We have a methodical plan each game where all the components need to work. We have maybe 3 outstanding performers this season at present and that is not enough. The team is not functioning because 8 players are not performing to their individual ability.

You can’t blame 1 individual. If the team was on fire and jack slotted in and caused it to break them fair enough. The anger is misdirected.

All our wingers do what he tells them. Stay wide, keep ball and wait for a chance. Do not lose ball.
Bit frustrating for us watching but works.
 
My own two cents - I think Jack has been great. Done everything required from him off the bat. Still a few moments of indecisiveness or the wrong decision between attacking the box/man or passing, but by and large he’s settled in very very quickly.

The only thing missing I see is someone around the penalty spot attacking the space or free for a floated ball. He’s beating the full back, drawing the centre half wide, only to look up with fuck all movement square of him.

I feel the lack of end product is in no way JG’s fault. He’s doing everything well, just nobody to aim at for the final ball. I suspect once we do bring in a striker - preferably someone over 6 foot, Jack’s end productivity stats will skyrocket.
Yeah, the chipped cross into the box is redundant for us while our forward line is 15ft 2 stood on top of each other. Oh for Lewandowski
