Good play for the penalty, otherwise distinctly average and another to add to the instantly forgettable performance pile. wasted 2/3 incredibly good chances/situations first half which is currently his biggest flaw, there's just no end product when there has to be. Meanwhile on the opposite flank, mahrez is generally far less involved as we base most of our attacks down the left yet he bags himself 2 goals and an assist without really being all that great himself. That's what he needs to be doing.
The big chance in 1st half - from KDB's rainbow cross - is not completely Grealish's fault.
If you rewatch that clip and compare to other KDB's similar cross, the difference is that this time the ball travelled slower than usual and turned more inside. Obviously due to the heavy rain on the grass. Grealish first made the run more to the left side and when he saw the pass turned more inside, he had to shift a step to the right and had to slow down thus resulted in a bad first touch. At that point the 100% chance is already killed by half.
At that moment KDB realised Grealish awkward situation and made an overlapping run to left wing. A better and more patient handling would be Grealish holding the ball and passing to overlapping KDB. But Grealish chose to shoot - perhaps due to heavy scoring pressure.
Will a natural striker handling this situation better than Grealish - a midfielder - yes. I wish to see Delap getting more chances this season or sign a striker in the summer!
He was my pick for MotM today at the game.
Got home and checked who scored.com and funnily enough he top scored on there, just ahead of Mahrez who was credited with two goals and an assist, which would usually be enough to be MotM based on statistics.
I bet Pep was delighted with Grealish.
This thread constantly proves how little people really see or understand and still after five years don't really get what Pep is doing.
Yeah,he’s world class.He was my pick for MotM today at the game.

When did whoscored. Com become the definitive proof of anything? I regularly see their teams of the weekend rightly mocked. They've also got Kyle walker as the second worst outfield player on the pitch for us which is of course total and utter horseshit by any definition.He was my pick for MotM today at the game.

All I actually said was he was wasteful, which is outright undeniable and other than that it was a run of the mill unremarkable performance where he didn't do much aside from the penalty. Anybody would think I've just written him off as a shit Fred by some of these responses.
I said pretty much the same about our entire front line today, even mahrez who scored 2 and got an assist, with no real objections, nobody deeming it negative, or claiming some batshit mental agenda against one of our own players. We just seemingly have a weird group of fans that want to over praise Grealish for every touch for some reason, and anything other than gushing praise is labelled as writing off their entire career already. I get it infront of opposition fans, but its just bizarre on here and rivals the Algerians with Mahrez.
