Needs a season like all new to Peps system. But he looks shit on the left.
I saw or heard something at the weekend that he takes way more touches than any of our other players. Need to move the ball quicker.
 
I felt like he was on autopilot today. Ball comes to me here, do a few stopovers and cross into the first defender. Ball falls to me in the box, take a half hearted shot. Lose the ball? Jog over so I'm sort of pressing.

There was no life to his performance, no thought in it.

He treated it a bit like it was a charity friendly he didn't want to be at.

And part of that is on Pep and the senior players because he should have gotten a bollocking inside 5 minutes to wake up and start playing.
 
What was his weakest attribute as an attacking wide player or attacking midfielder or a false 9 in your opinion? (He played false 9 loads for Spain in case you weren’t aware?)

Im guessing you’ll agree it was has shooting no?

Did that make him a liability? Did it fuck

I find it baffling that anyone can’t see that ALL of our players are there or there about elite players. They all have their own strengths & they all have weaknesses

If you think any of our players are a liability, all I can say is that your understanding of football & my understanding of football are poles apart my friend

Instead of looking at their weaknesses, maybe taking a look at their strengths & how Pep will mould that strength to the benefit of the team

Grealish has been here 2 minutes & you think he’s a liability? Give him a fucking chance to get his feet under the table mate! He’s not been amazing for us as of yet, but he’s certainly not been a liability, unless I don’t understand the meaning of liability

Apologies for being a condescending ****, but I find your opinion of Grealish being a liability laughable

I'd appreciate if you would take the time to read my posts before you start throwing Insults about. My post stated that Pep needs to Work closely with him on improving his shooting, 'or he could be come a liability.' Did I state anywhere to he is currently a liability, or that he has been here long enough for me to make a judgement? I referred to his shooting not being up to scratch, similarly to how he never excelled in this area with Villa. As we are so dependent in our goals being spread about the team, if he is to command a spot in our first choice front 3, then he needs to chip in. It nearly cost us against Chelsea. I agree Dave wasn't great I'm this area either, but he always played with at least one striker.

Listen mate, I don't want to get into an argument, as our opinions certainly differ in regards to Jack. I see what you are saying, but please reflect that I have not stated that he won't improve or he isn't good enough. I hope you can understand some of the points I have made also.

Spot on that
 
Liked him a lot today - deserved a goal..

Dropped back number of times and controlled the ball like a pro..

Pep should definitely try him as False 9 in upcoming games - suits him better than the winger role. I think goals and assists will come soon, even today or against Watford he should have scored, but important is - how good he plays.

Can be very crucial during the CL playoffs.

I agree. I've been critical of him but I thought in the second half he looked aggressive and tried to make things happen. Needs to keep that mindset and g/a will come.

I’ve gone back & reread your original post that I responded to, so I’ll apologise now for misreading the liability point. You’ve not said he’s a liability, so I need to learn to read & comprehend much better in future, my bad :)

However, I think you also need to reread my post as I don’t believe my post was insulting towards you

It’s never an argument on here with me my friend, just a discussion & reading your last post, I really don’t think our opinions differ greatly, so pop round mine & we can hug it out x

(He was pretty poor tonight)
 
Fuck me.The team is a dysfunctional mess and somehow it’s Jack’s fault because he’s not on his toes !
If that was aimed at me, I didn't say it was Jack's fault.

We are in a Grealish thread talking about the performance of Grealish so pardon me for commenting on the performance of one player.

Couldn't care less if he cost £100 or £100m he needs to start doing the basics right. Several times tonight a pass was played to him and he was beaten to the ball by the defender behind him getting to the ball as he was stationary and on the back foot. Surely the basics of football are on the front foot and you move towards the ball when a pass is played to you.

Anyway, off to the Mahrez/Ake thread. Am I allowed to comment on their dismal performances or will I be accused of solely blaming them for tonight's shit show!

Completely agree - I think he’s lacked any real conviction in his play so far, and he seems to be playing within himself.

Looks like he’s bought into this idea about needing 12 months to settle in a bit too readily. A bit underwhelming so far.
