I'm directly answering
@samuelyeboah who said Grealish "lost the ball every time" he tried to play a difficult pass. The fact he laid on two clear-cut chances, one for Cancelo and one for Mahrez, with two difficult passes is evidence that he didn't "lose the ball every time" he tried to play a difficult pass.
I don't expect a response.
The pass for Cancelo’s chance was obvious. If he’d have not played it, he wouldn’t be a footballer.
He did create 2 decent chances, but the ball he played to Cancelo or similar was on more than once for a few different players. He didn’t play it. He delayed as he always does.
I have zero issue with Grealish, he’s working hard & trying all he can. But so far, he seems to lack the instincts we need from a wide forward.
He’s never in the right spot for the type of goals that Sane, Sterling & Mahrez score.
He’s either never a left sided forward, or to me a total waste of money. He’s not a patch on Foden, Gundogan, De Bruyne or Bernardo centrally.
Sterling has been way off form and has never played well in the derby, but I’d still rather see him given Grealish’s minutes.
As much as every fan wants him to succeed, his direct goal involvements are simply no where near good enough for the minutes he’s getting.
People keep wanting to bemoan the lack of a striker, but we didn’t have one last year either. Guess what, we still were the best side in the World.
The problem is. Too many players aren’t performing or rather impacting games anywhere near enough. Grealish is the most guilty of this. Sterling is considered to be having a horrible season. Yet has been just as productive.
Grealish rightly gets more time as he’s adapting.
