We had better ball control since he came on and scored what was supposed to be the winner..

I am not sure which match you were watching but the one I was watching, Tottenham had 37% possession in the first half. When Grealish came in, Tottenham had 54% possession. We lost possession 16 times in the first half. We lost possession 36 times in the second half with Grealish on. So the control you think you saw, is all in your head. Our attack even dropped by 55% in the second half.

Not true, second half we were shocking, simply not in it.

It amazes me that we seem to have a lot of fans that seem to support individual players more than the team, I have to say I find that strange.

The Jack Grealish thread is the epitome of that.

One stat, Jack has started 2 PL games this season, let that sink in, and that stat is simply not acceptable.

Oh Really? Judging by the match thread. It was totally different!

YES REALLY!

Well taken goal.
Unsure if he would've taken the 1v1 had that twat not called it back.

Stupid yellow. Wasn't even for a foul, got it for kicking the ball away. Now he's suspended for Villa with Doku possibly out.

Wow just wow, is there a what a load of bollocks button on here

I think you are misunderstanding. I am not saying he isn’t good enough. I’m saying his output isn’t good enough considering his position as a wide attacker. He has 1 goal in 27 games. I totally get he brings something other than that, but the bottom line is we need forwards to contribute to goals.

He doesn't have the physical capability to go on the outside of a full back, and without an overlapping left back taking a defender away from him, he has little option but to play a simple pass inside. I find it unfathomable that we have paid £100m for someone to do that.

Hence why I think it would make sense to at least try and switch him and Alvarez around.
