I've defended him plenty of times on here, but he looks completely lost. Most of the team did today, but the likes of KDB, Bernie, Haaland get passes, for obvious reasons. I've defended him because, typically, Pep's signings often take time to adjust. But there has been zero improvement with his performances. It's a case of poor game, poor game, good game, poor game, poor game, good game; rinse and repeat. I think some are in a state of stupefaction about his perfermance against Leeds: he absolutely stunk the place out. The first half performance was worryingly bad. Watched Leeds with my Dad and in unison we screamed at the TV when, for the umpteenth time, Jack collected the ball on the touchline, took a couple of meaningless touches, and then passed back to Ake. To then be gifted the freedom of Elland Road for a simple assist doesn't alter the fact that he was garbage.
He's desperately running out of time. Phil offers much, much more. Jesus, so does Palmer at this stage. I could give a fuck if Foden has done a few silly "young lad" things, Pep needs to get his head out of his arse and realise he is thrice the player Grealish is at this time, and start picking the team accordingly.
Looking at it from a realist perspective, we're going to have to take a loss and sell him in the summer; honestly, that's where I think we're at.
