10 | Jack Grealish - 2021/22 Performances

[applejuice]

Not a fan but he will do. For England last night noted the commentators never mentioned his name until he burst past three players. Felt like they were airbrushing him out of the match, even when setting up Kane with some nice footwork. Seems like the City narrative is alive and kicking..

Yep I noticed it. I listened a foreign commentary and the commentator started to point out it would be better to sub Mount off and bring Grealish/Sterling on to solve the problem after 30min. They pointed out the lack of 1v1 dribbling ability up front was a bit problem. And they praised Grealish and pointed out how much improvement on the left side and on Kane after the sub - as well as creating much more room on the right side for James (comparing to TAA).

I watched the replay of channel 4 because my partner missed the match. And it was so bad and dull... They hardly spoke anything of the bad performance of Justin&Mount.

I was initially very optimistic about Grealish and supported him through his initial season.

Now though?

I'm not so sure.

Grealish comes in, drives at his covering RB and darts into the box - and nothing happens. The play breaks down - he misses his shot - he dribbles too much and loses the ball - he loses the ball out of touch - and so on.

Grealish has talent for sure - but it's not - so far - working at City.

Good performance by Jack in the England Germany game from the bench, looks like getting the BBC Motm on the website

 

[Jack74]

Did really well when he came on

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

Could've had two assists. Great cameo.

 

[Shaffer92]

Changed the feel of the match within 60 seconds.

Imagine if Jack had played 90 minutes against Germany , Kane would have beaten Shrek's scoring record tonight.

Doubt it would any difference. England have good attacking options but Southgate is just too cautious.

Read the comments under the England MOTM tweet and he's winning that as well.

I think the whinging fannies will have changed their tune dramatically come this time next year.

Good cameo tonight, very positive and looked dangerous everytime he got the ball. Hopefully, played himself into the starting 11 against Italy.

Nah It won't happen. Southgate will bring on another right back as soon as we have 1 goal lead! haha

 

[yankblue]

I just have a feeling he's going to be a monster next season

 

[FantasyIreland]

When he plays without fear he is worth every penny of that 100m.

Hopefully,he and Pep find the formula.

Same old same old, like almost any player before Grealish.

You think it will wisen up the people by now.

Southgate says Grealish can improve tactically, I’d say the same about Southgate to be honest the absolute dinosaur

 

[richards30]

Great when he came on and that was mainly down to how positive he was? Coke crime the ball and driving straight at the German defence is what we want to see in a city shirt! His ball across for Kane was a gem as well and deserved finishing but Kane fluffed it. Hopefully Jack follows every other signing and we get a second season kick on as he really is a top player and him putting them type of balls in for Haaland really could cause some havoc.

Never seems to say Macguire can improve defensively. Is that too obvious??

I think his midfield picks prove how much trust he has in Maguire, would be easier to just place a centre half in who can do his job then play with 1 DM instead of 2
