10 | Jack Grealish - 2023/24

[CatMan]

He's not outstanding at anything sadly, and I cannot think of any position where he'd be 1st choice if everyone is fit. The most frustrating thing I find with him, is that when in possession, he looks down and loses all situational awareness of those around him.

He’ll be first choice on the left for a lot of games especially at the back end of the season.

The fact is that a player doesn't have to be outstanding to play in a Pep Guardiola team. They just have to able to understand and carry out tactical instructions effectively.

It's a team game. Jack is much more effective our left flank than many people seem to think.

I find it incredible the amount of stick he gets, if players could finish when he puts it on a plate for them then his assists would have at least doubled, he popped up at big times last season and not just attacking, he has a knack of taking the sting out of games when we are winning more often than not and personally is one of the the first names i look out for on a team sheet.

Granted people have other opinions of him but some seem so off the mark that i wonder if they are blues or just other fans on the wind up.

Ok

Thought second half he was much more positive and looked really good, 1st half I reckon any football league player could have done the same if not better.

I'd argue he's outstanding at protecting the ball. Possibly the best in the squad other than Rodri.

And that characteristic is vital in a Pep team who push so high that we're always at risk of a counter.

Pep obviously values him greatly.

Pep obviously values him greatly.

I think breaking £100m was a really significant step for the club given the scrutiny our finances are put under and the attention they knew it would bring - IMO pep wouldn’t have done it on just any old player. The release clause was also important tbf.

I still think he’s playing a bit of a role for us, and not at his absolute best…but in 5 years time I bet the fanbase as a whole will look at Jack the way we do Stones and Walker now. Among the very best in the world in their position and always trusted by the managers.

Just rotate the pitch for 90 degrees in your mind and think of him as Rodri on the wing. Suddenly his value rockets, to Pep at least. Doku probably lost more balls in one half of the game than Grealish since he came to us.
