Very good performance but still playing so within himself.
I am far from his greatest fan but his has so much more to offer than we see, I would love to see him take more risk , take on his man but it's always the easy option.
I saw it. Not sure he was surprised by his own pace, rather caught in two minds what to do.First half (I think) he turned a player, pinged the ball forward and put the afterburners on ala Walker and roasted his marker. I think his speed shocked even Grealish himself because when he had daylight in front of him, the hammers penalty area looming and some options opening up he just didn't know what to do, still being amazed at how fast he'd just run.
We should call the police on @Keeper!Not his greatest fan? I never would have guessed.
Ever think he is doing exactly what Pep wants? The system worked very well yesterday and Jack, like everyone else contributed.
Forget his fee, forget how he played at Villa, this is Pep Guardiola's Manchester City and Jack Grealish is an important member of the squad. Team comes before individuals.
He may well be doing what he is told but to me he is playing far too much in himself, he has a lot more to offer.Not his greatest fan? I never would have guessed.

There is an element of that,for sure.But that will come with understanding and confidence.He may well be doing what he is told but to me he is playing far too much in himself, he has a lot more to offer.
I agree with you 100%. The problem is that if he does go 'full Jack' at some point, we may find he has the same, ultimately negative, impact that Rodney Marsh had in the 70s.He may well be doing what he is told but to me he is playing far too much in himself, he has a lot more to offer.
Agreed but the confidence and particularly the understanding should be hear and now.There is an element of that,for sure.But that will come with understanding and confidence.
As above though,the maverick has gone.
I don't want to see the flash, but I want to see a player take on a man or at least make them commit.I agree with you 100%. The problem is that if he does go 'full Jack' at some point, we may find he has the same, ultimately negative, impact that Rodney Marsh had in the 70s.
Jack's learning how to play for Pep Guardiola. He'll have his moments, but I doubt we'll see him overdoing the flashy bits.

Come on, he has had 12 months, that is more than enough.I think thats a tad unfair,he is dramatically changing his game at age 26....it isn't going to happen without time.
The signs are good though,he is starting to look a very useful addition.

I will say he looks far, far fitter which will help enormously.
I am not knocking the guy for his performance yesterday, but he's a talent and a high quality player when he makes the opposition defenders commit, in our shirt we simply don't see enough of that....so far.Yes,and he played well in Pep's starting 11 of the new season.
He has improved enormously,and he will continue to get better.
I like your input,but i think you have a blind spot here buddy.
