It’s probably most linked to pep refusing to make subs when we are drawing/losing
Definitely a case for that to be true.It’s probably most linked to pep refusing to make subs when we are drawing/losing
Aston Villa under Dean Smith won an average of 0.9 points per game without Jack, and 1.5 points per game with him.
We have a better group of players and a better manager by far, and I think there's multiple factors at work leading to the points dropped in his absence. It's definitely not as simple as we just need to play Jack and we win.
But he's got form for making a team play better, way above and beyond his individual goal contributions. I think we see it for England too.

While I think we need a proper left-winger as an option I just don't get why Grealish didn't start on Saturday and at the dippers????

Yep.
Like the "dropping points when Grealish hasn't played" stat above, correlation does not imply causation and there are multiple other factors.
I've also seen it on here (I think on here but might have been elsewhere) that last season we did better in the league with him rather than without him. Simply, that's false information.
22 games he started we were W15 D5 L2 (ppg 2.27)
18 games he didn't start we were W14 D1 L1 (ppg 2.68)
Again, correlation isn't causation so a case of "so what" for me.
Edit: slight typo - should read
22 games he started we were W15 D5 L2 (ppg 2.27)
16 games he didn't start we were W14 D1 L1 (ppg 2.68)

Perhaps he is just lucky. I'd say play him. I'd rather we win with his luck.Like everything in football there is always context but it’s a pretty interesting stat.
