10 | Jack Grealish - 2021/22 Performances

[FantasyIreland]

I liked his interview after the match. Actually says something interesting unlike many players.

Refreshing and honest too.Excellent interview,hes a top lad.

 

[FantasyIreland]

He'll start on Tuesday and he'll have a big impact going into the final months.
I suspect this recent absence has allowed the penny to drop.

As i predicted,he looks far more settled and might even have dropped a few pounds.

He had a fine game last night,and helped us tick.He and Phil bring good things.

yhp.

Sterling has been dispossessed 42 times in 1,568 mins, once every 37.3 mins.
Jesus 20 times in 1,341 mins, once every 67.1 mins.
Mahrez 15 times in 1,028 mins, once every 68.5 mins.
Foden 22 times in 1,431 mins, once every 65 mins.
Grealish 19 times in 1,271 mins, once every 66.8 mins.
Bernardo 20 times in 2,231 mins, once every 111.5 mins.

So pretty much, whilst Raz has brought some goals and directness in recent months we turn over the ball twice as much with him in compared to any other forward which means the opposition gets a lot more opportunities to counter on us from him, which we've born witness to in recent times, less defensively secure and dropping points as a result.

That's where you take the big gamble with Raz that has backfired on us in big games before.

That Bernardo stat, he is fucking brilliant, loses the ball once every one and a half games

It was nice to see him in an area of the pitch he likes, and given the ball. He was quality where many were still sluggish. His goal was pure class. We moan about packed defences, a long ball to a run in behind is still an option at times. He had so much to do but the touch and finish was beautiful.

Cancelo to Jesus first half was similarly effective but Gabby couldn't connect.

That ball over the top should be used more. The opposition don't expect it. But when 99% of the game is played in front of you at a leisurely pace it is easy to keep a shape. Forcing defenders to follow a false 9 deep then someone going behind will keep them guessing.

 

[Akira]

Excellent touch with an excellent finish. Fantastic goal.

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

Class goal that.

Roy keane said before the game that 'it's about time jack grew up' (without making too much of a dig), so hopefully he takes that on board

 

[DATOIA]

Great first half so far...

Much much much better than Sterling..

 

[FantasyIreland]

Much much much better than Sterling..

He's done great,but that's hardly a benchmark.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Jack looks much fitter,and its making the difference.

Ace. Played with proper swagger today, constantly involved. Well done Jack
