10 | Jack Grealish - 2022/23 Performances

[FantasyIreland]

I want to see the player he was for Villa because Grealish has a lot more to offer us but we're not seeing it, unfortunately.

You aint ever seeing that while he is wearing our shirt,im not sure why people are struggling to understand that?

You might get some in the WC though.

Maybe someday he will attack the full back and either score or assist instead of this safety first bollox that sees him constantly return the ball to the player who passed it to him. He's been a huge disappointment.

I can't disagree and thought the same when typing it

So why did we sign him then?

I was against signing him because i thought we didn't need him. And whilst he's here we very much need him, but we need to see much more from him. It feels like he can't be arsed much of the time.

It feels like he can't be arsed much of the time.

That is miles from the truth,and there is no evidence to suggest its the case.....he is desperate,maybe too much at times,to be the best he can be and i think that is obvious every time he enters the pitch.

Personally I'd be happy if Grealish and Palmer swapped positions in Peps pecking order.
I think Cole looks much more like scoring and adds more generally.

Last night Pep clearly told Grealish to come on and make sure City didn't lose the game. He completed every one of his passes, and helped us control things till the end.

Palmer came on at 88 minutes, made 3 passes and gave away the ball with 2 of them.

I think Palmer is great, but in an away game we've pretty much controlled, where a draw means we win the group, Grealish was the one who did what was needed.

Pep has spoken at length about what Grealish brings to the table. For 100m there is an outside expectation he is going to beat 5 players each game and score a hat trick but the figures are irrelevant for Pep, he gives instructions to the player infront of him if they are 100m or 1m. Its why hes so successful. There is no chance that Jack is sat there thinking I can't wait to get on and play safe passes so I don't get my hair out of place, he wants to get on there and single handedly take on players and try things but Pep doesn't want that out of him.

The alternative option is ending up like the rags and spending 70 odd million on the likes of Sancho and Antony who think they are playing cage football and are desperate to showboat. Thats why they are so disjointed and we put 6 past them.

Sorry pal but I'm not seeing what you're seeing in him.

You obviously aren't seeing what Pep sees either. That's okay though I wouldn't expect anyone of us to see what Pep sees

To be fair, he's hardly a nailed on starter.

Comes on for 10 mins in a dead rubber and somehow another two pages get added to his thread.

The obsession that some naysayers have with him is bonkers.
