10 | Jack Grealish - 2023/24

[donsmoke]

Looked very overheated tonight. His Instagram post seems to confirm he struggled in the heat which probably affected his decision making. Still, would have got at least one assist tonight. He’ll be fine for Friday once they’ve had a few more days to acclimatise.

In the heat, in the rain, in the cold, in the whatever weather conditions, his decision making is the same.
This is just his level on the wings, no need to play weatherman to justify his decision making and predictability. The chance he created for Nunes was good though, that's what happens when you willing to go down the byline.

Until Doku is back, we will have to rely on creativity from the right or through the middle.

As a winger he’s mediocre Premier League. He is a brilliant player though and deserves a place but where? Doku pisses all over him out wide.

Jack played really good and everyone saw how much he cares after not shooting that ball. Super Jack!

Bizarre decision-making in the final third, especially coming off the back of scoring 3 in 3. That cross to Nunes was excellent but he also killed a couple of our attacks.

There are still times where he seems to stifle his natural attacking instinct and take extra touches which often leads to the ball being back with our defenders. However, without a natural number 9 yesterday, swinging the ball into the box was unlikely to bring much profit so it's understandable. He was also often isolated with no movement ahead of him to play to. No issues with Jack generally, he's scoring goals and he's looking to get into goal scoring areas which was the one minor issue with his play. In some games we'll want Doku and some games Jack, it's brilliant we have both in the squad.

Yet, we’ve won all but one game Jack has played this season.

Doku is far more exciting to watch, whereas Grealish gives us more control of games.

Once KDB returns, Grealish and Doku will rotate the left wing. It’ll depend on how low the block is of the opposition and also how much we need to protect Doku from injury.

They still offer us fundamentally different options on the left wing. Don’t be surprised to see Grealish play in the bigger games and Doku against the low blocks.

I really don't know what people expect him to do to stop all the abuse he gets. He's playing well, he's doing his job, he's getting the ball forward and into the box, other players aren't capitalising on the chances he creates yet HE is the one getting the stick.

Recently he's scored in three consecutive games, has a direct challenger for his position in the squad yet hasn't moaned or sulked, just got on with improving his game to justify his place. He was instrumental in helping us win the treble at a key point of last season, clearly loves the club and the fans, wants to do well for us, wants to be seen as a key player who helps the team achieve it's successes; I seriously do not understand the pile on of abuse and criticism some fans have for him.

He's been robbed of a few assists recently.

How many times does Bernado or Foden go down the byline in a match when they play as the right winger?

I thought he did well with the exception of a few uncharacteristic bad touches. He didn't seem to handle the weather all that well, but otherwise he was ok last night, IMO.
