yep today was a tactical fail from pep. we always play well against top teams when we had foden and jesus as normal wingers. puting inverted wingers like mahrez and grealish pep should get blame for them being ineffective.I agree with him to an extent. I’m not saying that Grealish should get a free pass but the Grealish/Mahrez wide pairing is absolutely abysmal. It’s like playing two additional full-backs as wide forwards.
Plenty have a hard-on on here for Mahrez. Personally, I think he is a luxury player that this team can do without. Grealish may very well end up the same, in fact I’m fucking positive he will if Mahrez is on the other side.
Grealish and Mahrez are too safe. It’s like they are on a pass completion bonus. There is a real lack of dynamism in the wide positions when they play together. Play one of them, play none of them but for the love of god do not play both of them.yep today was a tactical fail from pep. we always play well against top teams when we had foden and jesus as normal wingers. puting inverted wingers like mahrez and grealish pep should get blame for them being ineffective.
I don't know mate, at this point I would try him at left back or maybe as second choice to Eddy, I just don’t know where he would fit in.Box to box? When has he ever shown the engine or the stamina or the defensive noise to play in such a role?
I think the simple reason is they do not have the acceleration of sterling to play in the wrong side and then get behind the defender. it is as simple as thatGrealish and Mahrez are too safe.

Hopefully back at villa. Wasnt better than any of our options when he signed and with the departure of stealing and Jesus he still isn't better than our other options.I don't know mate, at this point I would try him at left back or maybe as second choice to Eddy, I just don’t know where he would fit in.
Hahaha Christ, what a meltdown, welcome back !! Must have missed these posts after the pre season games… embarrassing.Hopefully back at villa. Wasnt better than any of our options when he signed and with the departure of stealing and Jesus he still isn't better than our other options.
Biggest waste of 100million iv ever seen. And that's me done with the grealish thread for this season. Everyone enjoy making excuses all season long like last season.
Do t think Peps instructions are different for him and other wise forwards. There are no instructions against attacking your defender in the final 3rd. I'm certain of it.It could be down to Pep's instructions. Grealish will be a valuable team member
Well cant stop them though. He isn't saying anything wrong. Grealish simply has to improve. No other excuses.Hahaha Christ, what a meltdown, welcome back !! Must have missed these posts after the pre season games… embarrassing.
