10 | Jack Grealish - 2023/24

[Gabriel]

Think he attracts enough abuse from opponent fans, and defenders, to merit a free ride on here. Would like to see him score more goals, to be sure, but some players are simply better at creating than scoring for us (e.g. David Silva).

Because the chances he created were not taken, another very good performance.

Again the only downside is his poor goal attempts, they seem to be getting worse, such a shame.

He just needs a couple to fall his way and he'll be fine. I feel like he's almost back to first season Jack where he's trying too hard. Doku has come in and instantly delivered goals and assists and Jack is feeling the pressure. He offers different attributes. Defensively he's much better, he controls the game a lot better and he still creates chances. He didn't get an assist at the swamp, but the way he drew Fernandes in and then set the ball in for Bernardo was class - those are the things Grealish does so well.

What I would like to see from him is a little bit more dynamism. He tends to look for where someone is, rather than drive and play it into a dangerous area. That often causes him to have to play backwards. But when it comes to shooting he was just trying to leather it by the end of the game to try and get on the scoresheet - which is the sign of someone desperate to get a goal. Keep your composure lad, you're doing exactly what's needed and the goals and assists will come if you play your natural game.

Grealish reminds me of one of my first girlfriends. A glimpse of tit now and then to keep you interested but then nothing more meaningful.

I think you're the tit if you think that's all he really offers.

What people who clearly don't really understand football and probably spend all day on FIFA fail to understand is that Grealish is a magnet for opposing defenders. That obviously creates space for others to explore even if he's not assisting or scoring himself. That along with how many fouls he draws in dangerous areas, and how gets us up the pitch better than anybody, means that he is an exceptional option to have for certain games.

You may wish to consider whether your girlfriend's behaviour says more about you than it does about her, or certainly about Grealish.

Of course Jack doesn't have any problem with girls finding him attractive (I sometimes wonder if that's a factor in why a certain type of male fan gets so irritated by him).

The other characteristic Grealish and your first girlfriend share, is that you don't deserve either of them.

City always have a boo boy. It’s Jacks turn again, failing that Kovacic and Nunes will slagged off.

never been different, in 65 yrs of watching reading on line. i imagine the same goes for most clubs. yooman nacher innit

Part of it is confidence but his finishing is very much the weakest part of his game.

again really really good last night. that's 3 very good games in a row he's had, very promising

Watching all three yesterday it is easy to see that Grealish, Kovatic and Nunes offer little in the way of their goalscoring.

Despite being able to get into decent goal-scoring areas their efforts on goal were pretty poor, lacking precision and control. Without the threat from KDB when fit, it looks like a weakness within the team at present.

Gundogan provided the goal threat which is no longer apparent from the midfield options and I'm not sure how his goals are likely to be replaced.

And whilst not a serious issue against Young Boys, in tighter games against better teams, it could prove to be more decisive .
