10 | Jack Grealish - 2022/23 Performances

[Gumzy97]

When we signed Grealish there was two City journalists that said that Grealish was bought as a 8, when Bernardo was linked away. Maybe Bernardo not leaving has messed up his position in the team now he's in limbo on the left

What I see here is that some comments trying to be blind to how awful KDB was vs Everton and how Bernado was off the speed. Stones and Akanji Rodri shocking defense display also gifted them a goal. They just acted like Grealish cost the 2 points which was far from the reality!

Grealish and Mahrez did their job in our goal and contributed a lot in defense - while KDB or Bernado cannot say the same!

However some posters just threw everything on Grealish because he took your blue eye boy Foden's place. On the other night at Leeds, Foden came on and lost his man defending a corner which gifted Leeds a goal. Even Amazon prime post match interview could call that out and point out Foden lack of concentration. When he came on vs Everton, Alvarez lost the ball and Everton started the counter carrying the ball forward. Foden traced back half arsed and slowed down when he assumed the ball was out of line (which was not). It left Ake no choice but putting into a dangerous flying tackle which could cause injury.

Maybe Pep saw that in the training and then drop him?

What do you think of Foden when he could not pass Young or Milner and even not remotely interested in trying to do so (perhaps fearing for an injury before WC)? Who do you blame for the points dropped vs Villa and Newcastle? Just so shocking double standard it is beyond belief.

People bemoan Grealish because he’s been here 18 months and hasn’t taken any pressure off De Bruyne, Foden, Bernardo et al.

He gets a hard ride because he hasn’t put in a single match winning performance in 18 months.

Why has Pep never played Grealish in the Silva role if that was true?

LOL you are really a hater aren't you?

He won 3 MOTMs this season.

But perhaps you don't agree because those are not a strong enough opposition?

So Pep is right on everything, isn't he? Including benching Foden? (PS I don't agree to bench Foden)

This is a valid question that seems to be constantly ignored. He’s never once been considered centrally for us. We’ve even seen Pep play Palmer get games there.

If Pep ever thought Grealish was an 8, he might have had a minute there..

Hey??? That really does t make sense. If Paid £100m for Grealish to replace Bernardo, as some are suggesting. The question remains, why has he never had a second there?

Pep is using Bernardo & Foden sparingly as there’s no way we can get through January without out then playing near every minute. Same with Walker.

Mainly he is and he see the players in training day in day out we just see them in games!

Would be good to see him in that role because think he could play it but like I say we don’t see the players in training..
