An in depth look at what Grealish offers.

Needs more traction than it’s getting. Explains why stats aren’t the be all and end all

but also it’s not just about the stats readily available to the public but the more analytically based underlying stats that clubs pay more attention to.

Grealish is top of Statsbomb’s On Ball Value stat and that’s about as good as it gets.

It is difficult to see in Man City because we are too good.

But if you look at England performance it is so obvious.

In the past year if facing a half decent team, England only has some what of the control of the game when Grealish is on the pitch.

It is just painful to see that he is not trusted with more opportunities.

Yes - with England it's obvious. No-one else is doing controlled, sustained forward motion, it's all about get the ball, rush forward, lose the ball, rush back. England have some good players but the tempo's all over the place. Then you put Jack on and he holds the ball and carries it forward and it gives everyone else time and space to move up the pitch.

Less obvious with City because we have more of the sorts of players capable of making their own space, but I believe he does do the same thing for us. It's a thankless task because it makes everyone else better - teammates should appreciate it but from a fan point of view it can be hard to see anything other than all those other good performances in all that space.

His buddy almiron has 2 more goals them him already this year, would want to get a move on or will look like a right knobhead

I don't understand the constant bashing of Jack, i personally feel the lad can never win, he could have a faultless performance and there would always be someone to criticise, always the mention of his price tag but he didn't get in touch with City and say i'm worth £100 million, Villa priced him at that as they saw that was the price they would need to replace him to rebuild the void he left. He has come from a team that was built around him and abilities to an exceptional squad to be part of the team where the epicentre of our good play comes from the likes of gundo & KDB who unfortunately for Jack play in his suited role.

There was a stat before 1 of the first couple of games of season saying last season he created 53 chances in 26 games in the league for other players which only 3 was capitalised on but he still doesn't get enough assists is part of the criticism?? he has created chances its then up to the rest to take them.

I'm fairly confident he looks more settled this season and will kick on, the lad just needs to be braver when hes one on one and remember he had players chasing shadows before and that class is permanent.

Sidenote: the media are cunts too and love nothing more than seeing english players fail for some bizarre reason so they of course put the boot in too!

So so so much better. Still needs to be a little more direct in the shooting positions, but he’s upped the quality BIG TIME.
