10 | Jack Grealish - 2022/23 Performances

[moomba]

Please stay on your feet, I'm supporter, but your constant falling at the slightest contact is getting annoying!

He gets kicked an awful lot more than he gets slight contact.

 

[Don Karleone]

Great first half, didn't see him much in the second.

 

[Raul2007]

Held the ball better than any of our players against Arsenal and got a goal, great performance and a very likeable character, I’d still like to see more goals and assists as one of our front 3, hopefully that will come!

In my head our best front 3 would be Foden Haaland Alvarez but Grealish is showing his worth and Foden is currently struggling

Our best front 3 atm : Jack Haaland end Mahrez.

somehow in the 2nd half we stopped using his side.

At least 3 times Bernardo or others had grealish open on receiving but choose not to pass to. I guess it is an order to save him energy for midweek. Not a smart decision I would say.

Watch the other side turning the game into a basketball game then lose the tempo...

Pep should sub Ake on 60min and at least when Wood came on. It was so obvious Nottingham was going to attack Bernado. Terrible game management..

I noticed that too, I was like "Why haven't I seen Grealish this half", turns out the stats shown he saw FAR less of the ball, don't know why we did that.

I guess that it is from Pep to ask to use right side more. Perhaps Pep felt we would create more from right hand side. Or Pep wanted to save Grealish energy for midweek which was a common practice. But I would say would not a fresh sub give us more? Wouldn't Ake come on as a LB to support Grealish save more his energy from defensive duty? In the end it is a terrible game management.

He would never be able to justify his position on the wings , if does not score and assist much.

Worked hard but didn’t really do anything with the ball.

At least he didn’t miss a sitter like everyone else seemed to.

He assisted today. Funny enough it was from right hand side. Probably it is some nice hint for Pep! :D

 

[stan bowles]

Has been in good form recently but still more concerned about looking for free kicks than trying to create or score.

 

[DATOIA]

Stable as always, got an assist, did his usual stuff..

Liked that dribble after Forrest scored, but should do that more often. I mean when he cut inside, moved ball across 3-4 Forrest players and shot..;'

But judging by result, he is either zero or hero :D

Did you blackout for our goal today?

 

[Deleted member 81382]

Been a lot more positive recently but I still don't think he offers us enough in the final third.

He's great when he has a 15 yard run on a defender where he can build up speed but when he recieves the ball in wide areas 1v1 with the full-back he really struggles. He doesn't have enough pace or trickery to go past them so it all becomes a bit predictable and easy to defend against. I suppose some would argue that the wing is probably not his best position though.

 

[nellyonthewing]

First half was his best showing in a City shirt . Faded noticeably in the 2nd half.

 

[madloaf]

Not his best today. I like him a lot. Would having Kvaradona be better...probably??

 

[applejuice]

Not his best today. I like him a lot. Would having Kvaradona be better...propbably??

Kvaradona will be injured if he gets this standard city ref treatment.

And BTW he assisted the only goal tonight.

 

[Tevez City]

More of the same

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Been one of our best players since the WC break and finally contributing assists and goals. Needs to keep it up.

It’s not clubs.

Unless instructed by Pep. It does get boring when he does it consistently for a few times every week. Perhaps he is cultivating the art of getting fouls, or maybe that's one way to counterbalance his lack of skills?
