Making that position his own ATM, however I think there is more to come and can see Jack playing more inside next season.
 
Recently watched some of our games from 2011 and remembered how cool David Silva played as a winger in Mancini's system, even though I liked him more as a LCM in Pep's system...

And Jack reminds me of him more and more.. Not as many goals but Assists and tricky passes in small spaces, dribbles, cutting inside and going from one flank to another without any problem (Remember that goal Nasri scored against Spurs in 2012 with the Silva's assist, that can be Jack - Ryad one day..)

Perfect, what can be said..
 
When Jack adds a few more goals to his game, we will have the £100 mill player we paid for. Love the fella, personally. Let's hope he can keep his confidence high from now on. Go on Jackie G.

I don't think he'll ever have the passing ability of Silva (who does?) but he is starting to possess some of his other exceptional qualities: never seems to give the ball away no matter where he gets the ball on the pitch, always thinking one or two passes ahead of everyone around him, always seems to have the bigger picture in his head. It's kinda crazy that Pep has taken an all action typical English player and turned him into someone that has the qualities of one of Spain's golden generation players.

It’s not that crazy. This is Pep we’re talking about!
 
Around 3:30 into this video it shows Grealish doing a finishing drill with Kane and Gallagher but on his left foot - all of them being struck well. All 3 players are doing the same technique (slow, studied run-up before hitting on their third/fourth stride) - drill led by J-F Hasselbaink.

If he's picking up finishing tips with England from JFH then brilliant and even better that it's on his left foot! Would give him a whole new dynamic to his game rather than cutting inside, a bit like Mahrez being able to go both ways now.



Called it. Technique for his goal today (left foot that was saved before the rebound) followed this routine. Hit it pure making it hard for the keeper to do anything but palm it out
