10 | Jack Grealish - 2021/22 Performances

[Scaring Europe to Death]

On another day the rebound off the post goes straight to Foden and Guardiola's a hero for making the substitution.
The Jury's still out, but I don't see how anyone can criticise Grealish for last night.

Just had another look. It was going in.

Nope, watch the reverse angle, going across

He did ok when he came on last night, going at people and keeping the ball well. But we really need end product, unfortunately for us we have seen that we mostly only see the benefit of attacking signings in their second season. Fingers crossed, he steps up to the next level.

walker, ederson, laporte and jesus were all pretty good from the get go?

I personally don’t remember any of the guys you mention hitting the ground running; I may be misremembering, but I wouldn’t say any outfield player, at least, other than Dias has had a more obvious impact than Grealish.

In my estimation, the handful you mentioned were all good without ripping up trees, and I’d say Jack is there as well.

Granted, no-one else cost £100m, but others, who are now essential to our success, were far worse on arrival for 12 months. It’s a fair point though.

that’s because the signings we have made have been overseas players who need to get used to the pace and aggression of the premier league. Jack on the other hand…..

Talented lad but doesn't work hard enough for me

 

[Damanino]

making up these excuses for him is not helping him. hopefully he doesnt read all these 12 months before 3 good matches in a row etc., because if he believes it than that wont help him in any way.

I’m on about the dipper

That makes a far more coherent comparison. Mea culpa!

Still can't understand this signing, doesn't fit our team at all. Felt like something PSG would do. Couldn't even press for 10mn

The lack of pressing / defending was just unforgivable considering how fresh he was and how keen he should be to impress
