10 | Jack Grealish - 2022/23 Performances

[oldius]

All right, all right, but apart from occupying defenders on the wing, contributing in the build up, winning lots of free kicks, being good to watch, and being a good character in the dressing room, what has Jack Grealish done for us?

Bravo.

Arguably his best performance for us,although he should have got at Dalot a lot more than he did,especially with the rag having an early booking,he would have had an even better day than he did,but no,cut in,cut back,but as I say better than previous

Needs to be more direct. He had that Dalot on toast, got him booked early then stopped running at him. Good performance tho

Very good yesterday.
If Cancelo is playing at LB, Bernardo playing on the left with Grealish gives him options, Bernardo going on the overlap and the workrate helps him. Hope to see that more often.
He has to be not shy when he's presented with a decent chance to shoot.

To write off a player with his technical ability and attributes is unfathomable.
Was always going to come good.
Some seem to have been rejoicing in his slowish start as some sort of vengeance for their faves getting criticism. Ridiculous.
Anyway, good to see so much mealy-mouthed backtracking.

another great performance from Jack, Pep needs to keep giving him a run of games to keep this level going and hopefully improve it further.

 

[David Silva]

I think his two best games for us now have come against the scum. Tore Dalot apart especially in the first 45

Fantastic yesterday but let's not get carried away with a performance against such a weak opposition

That's the key to the effectiveness of any of our wide players really, the overload with the midfielder. De Bruyne links up with Foden and then one gets the space to create something. Bernardo is very effective doing the same on that left side. It's something Gundogan wasn't doing against Dortmund and then as soon as Bernardo and Foden came on for him and Grealish we had success.

Grealish is excellent driving with the ball. He gets past people so easily and sucks defenders in. What we need to see more of is the ball going into the back of the net or finding someone who then scores. At the moment he's still not quite getting the end product, but it was a huge improvement yesterday. He also needs to have the confidence to keep making those runs into the box, as he did against Wolves and as Foden does consistently.

Haha! It’s great reading posts from those who have been on his back grudgingly acknowledging his good games yet always feeling the need to add a ‘but’ just to feel better about themselves.
The lads mustard and is becoming a very important player. Get used to it.
