Takes TOO MANY touches and has no early shot.
A player like him HAS TO make the defender commit, so that he can’t get a shot off. Grealish RARELY presents as a shooting threat, with his kickout pass to Cancelo or Rodri a more likely shot opportunity.
On current form, it’s hard to find a starting place for him, but with Pep it’s horses for courses!
Inverted full backs or get them down the line?
Today, in the second half, when we switched to “down the line FBs,” we were significantly quicker and more dangerous with the ball, as it allowed us to pack the midfield with KDB, Rodri, Bernie, plus Riyad and Phil playing inside and flooding the channels!
