10 | Jack Grealish - 2023/24

Poor post buddy

You are of course correct and was a combination of old age and scotch.

I feel for Jack. He is an exceptional player, and clearly a sensitive, caring man, as well as being a bit of a lad. He was given a hard time by many here to begin with. He was then, despite our unmatched success, given only grudging acceptance, and now he is being questioned again, by some. You may like a winger to attack the byline. You may like a winger who will dazzle with trickery. You make like a winger who will pepper the box with crosses, but there is one thing that we all like: winning games. The fact is that, with Jack in the team, we are possibly the best team that the English game has ever seen. These times will not continue forever, so relish them, and cherish the players and manager that have made it happen.

Last sentence, some fans may want that, but does Pep?

Most probably i would think.

I think everyone likes a winger with those attributes and Doku dazzled first half yesterday. Doku is bold and exciting. Jack in comparison is playing it safe, boring and predictable.

Has Jack joined the forum under a pseudonym?

Different games need different approaches, at different times. I'm personally delighted with the start that Doku has made, but it doesn't mean that I need to use it to demean the player that Jack is. It is obvious that he is being asked to play in a certain way for the team. He is also returning from injury.

I wouldn't

Will still be an important player as we go on through the season

I wouldn't

Come off it. Grealish wasn't bought to just keep the ball and slow our attack down, and that's basically all he's giving us at the moment.

He may not have but he is incredibly good at which is why Pep values him so much
