10 | Jack Grealish - 2022/23 Performances

[domalino]

If you think he is publicly going to call out Jack Grealish or for that matter any player in public you must be crazy.

Pep literally less than a month ago explaining what Mahrez needs to do to play -

"“He has to come back in a better physical condition"

“Train good, every day, day in, day out. Be fit in all his ways with the body fat and everything. After, he will be back.”

Stats?

What about eyes? Not said anything about Wednesday in criticism, he was ok.

Stats are meaningless crap, performance is all that matters and for an attacking player in one of the finest teams ever created he simply does not produce anywhere near enough goals or assists.

And I keep hearing pep is happy with him, does he tell you? If you think he is publicly going to call out Jack Grealish or for that matter any player in public you must be crazy. But withdrawing a player at half time is hardly the sign of a player doing well is it?

That's like waiting for Klopp to call Nunyears out. Never going to happen.

To be fair ANY manager that's call any of his players out in public is a Cnut.

I remember back in the day John Bond doing it regularly and we all knew how that ended.

What a manager says in public is very different to what is said in private.

 

[Keeper!]

He's publicly called out loads of City players in the past for all sorts of things. Hart, Nasri, Mahrez, Aguero, De Bruyne, a few others, the list really is longer than you think. He's not afraid to call players out and yet he hasn't ever complained about Grealish to the press. Wonder why?

Because Jack has outstanding stats, performances and is the star of the show, that's why ;) FFS

Not really answered my question there, though, have you?

Mahrez signed his contract and his desire dropped down a notch or three, a warning shot over the bows is what Pep did.

Pep called and pushed Raheem Sterling on numerous occasions but probably pushed him far too much, he called out Sane, rightly so for wasting a huge natural talent and believing he hade made it before he actually had.

I get the feeling despite the public persona, Jack Grealish is maybe not the cocky, arrogant prick a lot of people think he is, in fact he seems a decent, likable but perhaps slightly unsure about himself and has a manager trying to protect him and his huge ridiculous transfer fee, again rightly so.

But as said far too many times, it's simply time to jack to produce quality, week in week out, with assists and goals and like I said earlier, Jack Grealish's form improved considerably earlier in the season but what did Pep do, drop him, and I find that strange and worrying.

Neither have you and far more importantly to me, neither has Jack Grealish.

Not interested in whatever mental gymnastics you're doing to pretend Pep doesn't criticise players after several people have provided examples of him doing just that.

Except I have answered your question. You said Pep wouldn't call out Jack in public; I argued he would call out Jack in public if he felt the need because he's done it to many other City players down the years. As of yet, Pep hasn't seen the need so I'm taking that to mean he's pleased with where Grealish is. Could he be doing better? Yeah. Is he doing alright? Absolutely.
