10 | Jack Grealish - 2022/23 Performances

[skillman]

Might ‘only’ be a couple of assists to some of our fans and the pundits but you could see from his reaction to the first one that it meant a lot to get some sort of ‘contribution’ to his name.

I can bet getting the second one will feel like a turning over of a new leaf for him too.

I hope not cos that would mean no Foden who is 10x the player

Foden looked hopeless tonight. Not ready to start a game imo, and needs to be used in central midfield rather than sitting out wide.

Phil can play on the right, Mahrez bench.

Mainly still hoping Pep tries out the 4-4-2 with Erling and Alvarez up top when he's back. That'd probably require Bernie as one of the wide men then Phil would be preferable on the left.

Season and a half in and for me he’s never been more than a bit part player. Mid table show pony

Blimey lad. Entitled to your opinion but disagree. He was a menace tonight, also has a real winners mentality

Not sure how you can think that first point. Foden only played for 20 minutes and barely touched the ball. Think he gave it it away once.

Oh dear

 

[borassic]

He gets the shit kicked out of him every game and Pep has just pretty much confirmed how he’s playing just as he wants, superb second half for him

As mixed a bag of a performance as you’ll see from any player.

At times holding onto the ball far too long (first half mainly) when Gundogan was on for a first time inside pass about half a dozen times and he never played it once and allowed himself to be closed down and double teamed. At other times his finishing was like watching Sterling at his worst.

But then he also worked his bollocks off and even though he did take too many touches too often, he didn’t lose the ball. And he got two assists in the end.

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

Delighted he got more rewards in the second half - hopefully does wonders for his confidence.

However between him not hitting the back of the net and the ref inexplicably not booking Roca for booting him up into the air, I am not the £1.3k better off that I believe I am entitled to be right now.......... ;-)

 

[Withnail]

Poor first half, but fair play to him he was a lot better in the second half and got 2 assists to his name. Just a shame he didn't get on the score sheet.
