10 | Jack Grealish - 2022/23 Performances

[mosssideblue]

Personally I thought he was great. Posters need to remember that he is still a kid (at least in football years), still needs a couple of years before we see the best of him.

You're making yourself look a right cock end now

 

[kye1991]

Well done, you can count but failed in the ability to discuss the point.

Absolutely no one is discussing whether or not he is doing what pep asks him to do, because no one knows, including you. We are discussing what we see with our own eyes from our perspective. The only person who brings pep into this is you.

Once again you've thrown in your catch phrase about pep 'agreeing with them' which no one has ever said.

Go to the pep performance thread. Sidenote I don't think once pep has told jack not to get goals or assists.

He will be going nowhere. Think there’s a few in here who need to come to terms with that. I don’t think he’ll be getting judged by the same metric within the club that he is by some fans. I’m sure there’ll be more expected from him from Pep but overall I don’t think he’ll be too disappointed by him so far.

I don't expect him to be sold yet. But we need a wide player who can get goals/assists. No matter how you look at things, Grealish numbers are embarrassing.

As for Pep not being disappointed with him. There is a reason he is often benched for the most important games.

He needs some goals and assists. Think we can all agree on that.

And we lose when he doesn't play that most important match against dipper, not saying starting him will guarantee to win. maybe the outcome will be different.

 

[salfordbluetrue]

I've just looked at the CL table and you are right.

Grealish going off when we were losing against Sevilla and Grealish going off when we were losing to Dortmund were both pivotal decision that saw us top the group.

Pep definitely knows what he's doing when we are struggling and need to go back to 11 men.

Lots of people think that when someone comes off the pitch they have failed, that is absolute bollocks it is because they have run their bollocks off, take a good look at how many times Pep has left a losing side on the pitch to put right their failings.

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

He is winning me over, just, but I wish he could score when he gets the chance, he had a wonderful opportunity yesterday and it went well-wide. He scored from those situations at Villa, so he should be doing it for us.

Give your head a shake, when you have finished ask yourself why did Pep buy him? why does Pep play him?, a slightly different player but with similar stats is Silva, so is Gundogan`s if you take his goals away which will happen this year as we have Haaland, it is not wrong to not understand someones strengths, you just have to understand who it is the media is attacking and why.
Lets just say this has an awful lot to do with Maguire.

Give your head a shake and tell me any game that he has changed or played a key role in. I get the press may give him a hard time especially when compared to Sancho who gets off very lightly, but Jack has hardly set the world alight since being at City.

 

[13/05/12]

Almiron is making him look like a moron so that should be incentive for Jack to add more end product to his game. I don't have a big issue with his larger than life act even though some may call it a bit cringe but the moment he crossed the line was mocking a fellow pro. You do that and you invite everyone else to point a finger at you.

He's talked the talk but certainly not walked the walk -yet?

27 years old. Off load, it aint happening with Jack. Bit of a shame but he's been a bad signing for City.

 

[13/05/12]

Definitely not. He needs to back up the talk now. I think the price tag will mean he is in no danger of being moved on swiftly but at the same time he is not exactly a young footballer anymore.

Which Silva does Grealish have similar stats to?

 

[Keeper!]

Definitely not. He needs to back up the talk now. I think the price tag will mean he is in no danger of being moved on swiftly but at the same time he is not exactly a young footballer anymore.

He's not exactly old is he (27) lot's of football in him but if it's to be at this club he needs to up his game, and big time.

 

[Keeper!]

Not sure anyone has ever doubted his commitment, he clearly is giving his all but sadly the last few games his form and confidence is going backwards, that after a much better start to the season.

He needs a good run of form, consistency is the key, he has had a few false starts.

Utter nonsense.....he may well not have lived up to the 100m expectations of some,but he has contributed well and will continue to do so.

He has not been a bad signing just a hugely under whelming one.

This transfer reminds me of the Steve Daley one, a very decent player but never worth the fee paid and in the end the fee overwhelmed him.

Sadly the last couple of weeks Jack Grealish is starting to look like a player trying to live up to his fee and not playing his natural game and his self belief is fading fast.

 

[jamesha]

I do not think Jack has played badly this season but it is mystifying how a player in his position can have such low stats in terms of goals and assists. Going up against packed defenses every week cannot be easy but we need more from him than he is currently showing.
I think that we are more effective with Foden on the left and that Cancelo would probably also be more effective there too. Also Borges's form for the EDS is deserving of some first team involvement.
Jack and the coaching staff need to work on ways of making him more effective where it counts.

 

[Lauz9888]

Genuine question for those who don't rate him because of goals.

Assuming his performance levels stayed the same, as did our results (as there's very few matches this season where he played significant minutes and we could have won more points), how many goals would he have needed to score so far this season in order for you to think he was playing reasonably well?

 

[FantasyIreland]

I dont think thats true at all,he is putting defences on the back foot,creating plenty of space for others and playing with a smile on his face.....maybe things haven't quite come off in terms of stats......but confidence does not look an issue and i still maintain his presence offers us balance,possession,and an opportunity to be entertained that most players are not capable of.

I'm never going to change opinion for some,as minds were clearly been made up early,before he even got here in many cases.....but for some to post blatant nonsense about his contributions and his impact is just odd.
