10 | Jack Grealish - 2023/24

[Blue-Ghana]

He needs to play in the position Alvarez is playing ,on the wings he looks totally ineffective

 

[Phil1]

Anyone who thinks he came off because of his performance needed punching in the face. Worst fans in the world.

Jack's problem is there is no end product , he attracts two/three players and makes space for others but he isnt creating enough , he is a lot better player than we are witnessing at the moment , Doku is ahead of him he is assisting and creating havoc for opposing full backs.

You're basically describing he's better at Kovacicing than Kovacic!

I thought he was one of the ok players in the awful first half. We needed Doku and Alvarez on obviously but not related specifically to Jack.

What do you mean by this?

I don't think he was substituted for being the worst player. We needed Doku on.

Sorry, you still don't make sense. Could you please give us a more logical explanation of what you are saying without making a biased, emotional take, e.g. why we needed Doku, and why it was Jack who had to be replaced so early in the 2nd half? You know nobody has suggested he was "the worst player" on the pitch, I believe.

What’s your point?

Not good enough in terms of goals or assists for that position, has to play through the middle for me, the more he see's of the ball , more he is in the game the better and more effective he is. When he is fired up he has a edge to his game which would be a huge asset in the middle of the park.

Unless Doku has a huge loss of form, he ain't playing LW as first choice.

I think this is the beginning of the end for Jack unfortunately. You can tell he’s never fully believed he fitted in with us. He had a few months early last year where he looked the part but I don’t think he’s had a good game for us since Real at home. He finished the season with his performances on the slide and that’s continued into this season. Doku being so impressive is just making it harder for Jack. I’ll be surprised if he is still here at the start of next season

To be fair to him he did play very well against utd. Although the way we consistently got him one on one or even two v one with Bernardo with him all the time (due to Stones bossing the middle) I was thinking Doku would have absolutely destroyed them.
