10 | Jack Grealish - 2022/23 Performances

[grim up north]

For some here the result is irrelevant, all that matters is getting Grealish to play regardless of how unproductive his performance is, just let him play.

Are you Alan Ball

Are you Alan Ball

He’s just a **** who goes out of his way to have digs at a player. More Cannon and Ball than Alan Ball.

Maybe he wants him to play as a striker! Or maybe the oppositions goal keeper! How further can he go! Maybe he can play as the oppositions net!

another football genius

You’re a proper **** of a poster. Latch onto a successful team, wouldn’t find the Etihad on a map if it was pointed out to you.

Well thats one way of looking at him I suppose. ;)

Imo we suffer from a lack of through balls and a lack of diagonal runs.

I would love to see our front players swap and change as they dart left and right looking for the opportunities to run onto perfect throughball. But we'd give away possession over and over with not every throughball being perfect and many runs being too soon resulting in countless offsides.

But if we found a balance, I think you'd see all the front players thrive (especially Grealish and Alvarez).

Alternatively I'd love too see Grealish tried in the middle so he could run through directly (and be fouled).

Basically I guess I'm saying that going around the sides often makes Grealish (and most others) look static. And I miss Yaya. :-)

I really liked the bits where him and Foden linked up in the first half. Got a glimpse of what I've wanted to see since he joined. Obviously they're not going to start next to each other in most games but it looks like it will be fun when it does happen.

Same for me - highlight of the 1st half. And a complete contrast with Palmer/Mahrez where there was zero connection.

Played as well as he could have in that first half,he frightens the life out of defenders the way he uses his body and technique - his football is a joy to watch at times.

The link up/telepathy with Foden could be very special if its allowed to blossom,however.....it's still a shame Pep cant/wont allow him to fully express himself.

needs a couple of De Bruyne type early crosses in his game and everyone will be off his back

This coming from the clown who suggested we sell, sorry "snap off" the hands of anyone willing to offer close to 100m for Kdb.

Fucking simpleton

He isnt Kev though,that has never been his game.His attributes centre around drawing defenders,winning fouls,and driving into the box - the things that are currently mostly being nullified.
