Just does everything too slow. No directness at all. He's working his arse off, but that's worth very little tbh, everyone should be doing that and literally any £5m PL workhorse can do that, a winger for a top team needs to be making an impact rather than just working hard.

Don't think it's surprising that people think he looks our best player when we are all playing too slowly, as that's his speed. I'd swap him for a winger who actually dares take on his man, any day of the week. Just can't see us putting much of a run together playing at this tempo and I can't see him playing at a higher tempo.
 
Good attitude, plenty of guts and spirit. Puts a fair few of the others to shame.
But there’s just not enough quality in his play - passing, crossing, shooting are all hit and miss. And I‘m not sure he‘ll ever improve enough in that regard.
 
He’s no where near good enough. Absolutely nothing in his play has ever suggested that he’ll ever be a top top player in this side since he signed. But he’s a likeable guy and clearly works hard every game, there’s just not enough decisive moments.

I agree. You can't fault his effort but the truth is he has a lot of possession and does little with it. He made a lot of runs today but with no end product. He plays too many safe five yard passes, mind you he is not the only one these days. The whole team are at it. Jack wins soft fouls all over the pitch but rarely in the penalty area where it matters.
 
I was at the match today. Thought he got his back injured in the 1st half. Surprised to see him last 90min. Perhaps due to no back up winger. I won't be surprised to see him missing next match.

Another thing really made me concerning. He shouted at some other players after he made a cross. Cuz no one was there. Very unhappy. It looked like some of our other players did not execute the game plan. I complained about him refusing to cross before. Now I start to question he was holding the ball too long because the teammates did not run to the planned positions. That is something even more concerning than his poor crossing ability TBH.

I just sit on the shortside with a good view of those challenges. Grealish won fouls at very good positions multiple times. Our set piece really sucks. Not him.

Winning some set pieces would be great if he was still playing for Aston Villa but he has to operate at a much higher level if he is going to make the grade. He has to impact matches more.
