10 | Jack Grealish - 2023/24

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Incredibly good at the specific skills that Pep wants from him. He doesn't need to do anything different at all, horses for courses. If we had a CL final tomorrow, Grealish starts.

If we qualify for next CL final Doku will start if he carries on his current form.

Doku is only fit enough to play an hour at most at the moment. He’s goosed far too quickly.

Grealish's biggest problem this season has been Alvarez not Doku, His form has kept jack out of the KDB role which he surely would have taken had spider man not made himself undropable.

Just shows how fickle some people are.

When commenting on a player i can only say it as i see it at present. However, things change and hopefully Grealish will soon find form and start impressing again. And my thoughts and comments will change on him. So yes, i guess i am fickle as many others are on many subjects. That's the whole point of a healthy and interesting forum, otherwise it'd be like a needle stuck in a groove.

I'm more than happy to see Doku play 70 mins and bring on Jack to keep the ball and see out the game.

I was getting concerned for the old fella sitting in front of me yesterday standing up each time Doku got the ball.

He didn't bother getting up once when Jack had it so he will have a nice little sit down before he heads home on the final whistle each game if that's the plan from Pep.

Exactly this . A football forum is where most of us comment on current form of a player/ team / manager be it good bad or indifferent .
Then we have some on here who have their firm favourites regardless of how they are currently performing.
If you have the temerity to criticise their hero they start trawling back through your posts to support their conviction that you somehow hate a City player- how ridiculous is that..

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.

Doku is exciting, of course, and has made an excellent start. Jack was a key player in our most successful ever season. We can celebrate both, as well as not condemning a player who has played 2 games this season.

Hahaha as if the same comments weren't being said of Jack last season when he was performing brilliantly.

The under tone is there with him, that some of you will never shake off.

The laughable thing is, if he scored a couple more goals you'd think he was brilliant, when the reality is the rest of his game would remain the brilliant same.

Once he's fit again he'll soon reach the levels of last season.

Dress it up anyway you like but he's lost his place and unless he sweetens up he'll no longer be first choice. He has about 3 good months in nearly 2 1/2 seasons here. More would have been expected of him. Maybe he rises to the challenge and fulfils his potential or maybe he's happy enough with his lot. Crucial season for him now.
