I just want him to play every game these days. I don't even care anymore about the goals & assists, i just like our games so much more when he's on the pitch

No one gets a free ride these days. Sooner or later, he is going to have to look like a more dangerous attacking midfielder/forward than our left back!

I’ve not been among his critics to date. However I’m disappointed that we’re not seeing the hoped-for marked and sustained improvement this season. While stats don‘t tell the full story, his goal and assist tally is modest to say the least.

 

[Bill Walker]

Matched edersons assists this season at least, if he hits some form he may catch Allison.

Surprised phil1 hasn't been in here yet telling everyone how amazing he was and how wrong everyone is but it won't be long.

The question for me is would we have been any worse off by not signing jack and keeping the 200+million he's gonna cost the club?

No, not at all.

I'm tending to agree with you. Sometimes I wonder if Cole Palmer would have had more influence and assists by now.

Jack didn't set the fee of course but for me he just doesn't add the cost of his fee and wages to the team.

Grealish is a brilliant ball carrier but an issue I'm having with him is that once he carries the ball forward, he tends to always look for the simple ball out wide instead of trying to make that through ball through the centre or taking the shot on himself.

Agree,he's a player you can just sit back and enjoy.As well as the balance and substance,he brings a unique style and approach that makes football more fun.

Yeah, he certainly makes me laugh.

It’s like he needs an injection of confidence. He looks like he still doesn’t believe he’s good enough for this team/club in the way he holds back in expressing himself fully. He rarely has a bad game but he’s rarely top quality neither.

He’s shown in spells that he is so what’s the issue? Same yesterday, started off the game okay but then drifted out of the game completely.

That lovely passage of play that started with mahrez on the right and ended with kdb laying it on a plate for Grealish inside the box to come on to and bury only for him to inexplicably giving back to kdb who was marked by that point is him in a nutshell. You have to score there, you just have to. at the bare minimum you force the keeper into a brilliant save. What you don't do is pass it backwards to a marked man for a significantly harder effort. kdb would have been better just shooting himself instead of laying it on a plate. Never feel like he's going to make something happen when he gets on the ball.

This is that confidence thing… he didn’t have the confidence to unleash a shot at that moment. That was his shot, his goal, de Bruyne wasn’t even expecting the pass back, but Jack laid it back instead of twatting it

 

[Keeper!]

No one better at driving into the opposition half,and creating space for others by way of dragging defenders.Today was not a good game to get the best out of him though.

There are a lot better players at that and several at our own club.

Recently he has shown signs of improvement just like he did at times last season but sadly he then returns to normal, average and simply not producing enough.

Sadly I don't think he is the right fit for this club on and off the field, let's hope he has a good world cup, otherwise I can see us taking a huge financial hit.

"Agree,he's a player you can just sit back and enjoy. As well as the balance and substance,he brings a unique style and approach that makes football more fun."

I agree with every word of that but is he that player in sky blue? Is he allowed to be that player by his manager?
