Absolutely bang on. He’d have retained possession in a way sadly Julian didn’t yesterday. He’d have made a huge difference imho. We need him fit asap.Not his greatest fan but my word we missed him yesterday on that left side.
He is a big game, big atmosphere player, he loves this type of game, indeed he thrives on it.
The whole team are confidence players, I don’t see why we should treat Jack any differently.He is a confidence player.
We need to build his confidence rhythm and fitness.
Got the feeling the injury will need an op, probably hernia, has had a terrible season Jack, everything has gone against him.Absolutely bang on. He’d have retained possession in a way sadly Julian didn’t yesterday. He’d have made a huge difference imho. We need him fit asap.
Not having a go but if that’s the case why are you not a fan of his? I don’t get the hate/dislike of the lad. He has ditched his natural game for the good of the team and gets slated for it. Like you said, we’d have been a far far better team yesterday with him on the field and he’s probably in everyone’s strongest team atm because they can now see what he brings to the system now he’s not playingNot his greatest fan but my word we missed him yesterday on that left side.

For a forward in this team he does not produce enough, that's the issue.Not having a go but if that’s the case why are you not a fan of his? I don’t get the hate/dislike of the lad.

3 rd best GA 4 worse than Arsenal ( put that right next game),2 worse than liverpool. Our GD is worse because we haven't punished teams like we normally do scoring 3s instead of 4s or 5s.I hoped this exposing Rodri will work at the end like other Pep’s masterpieces. But we are in March now, conceding the goals on the daily basis, scoring less. GD ist worst than both rivals.
Time to change and if this match brought it then it was worth.
Oddly by not playing, a few didn't appreciate what he brought to the team until he wasn't doing it.I'm really glad Grealish has been getting love and recognition for his game lately. He's a high IQ player and a pleasure to watch. I think Pep wants to mold Doku into Grealish but with more directness. But its hard for any player to have Jack's composure and technical crispness.
The argument was that he doesn’t score or assist enough for someone playing wide forward in the best team in the world. I think that is a fair argument. Many saw Dokus initial performances and thought he would bring the G/A that Grealish doesn’t. We’ve now seen that hasn’t happened and some have gone with the thought process that if none of them are going to be providing G/A, we might as well go with the Grealish option of keeping possession. Both are good players and bring something different but I’d argue the praise that Grealish is currently getting is more like he is the lesser of two evils. Once Grealish starts playing more games, people will flip flop between who they want in the side depending on a result in any given weekend.Oddly by not playing, a few didn't appreciate what he brought to the team until he wasn't doing it.
This is true and maybe if he hadn't been on the lash all summer he might be available more often.Whatever you think about Grealish as an individual or player, the team functions better as a whole when he plays.
Having a heavy summer isn’t the reason he’s injured now, isn’t the reason he was injured earlier in the season and. Isn’t the reason his house was broken into.This is true and maybe if he hadn't been on the lash all summer he might be available more often.
Disagree. There's a reason people like Novak Djokovic don't get rat arsed. It's because their performance is about maximizing their potential.Having a heavy summer isn’t the reason he’s injured now, isn’t the reason he was injured earlier in the season and.

He’s just been shit out of luck this season and it’s one of those freak seasons.
There are two things that are certain though. We are better as a team with him playing.
He isn’t suffering because of the summer.
Yep ,but that has always been the difference between G.O.A.T athletes and very good atheletes, some of them just don´t have it in them...Like Hazard said ,when asked ,if he would have been a better player if he trained like Ronaldo ,he said he would have stoped playing football long time ago ,he just want´s to enjoy life outside of football groundDisagree.

Drinking heavily for 6 weeks, then sweating it all out in Dubai before pre season training would have put lots of stress on his body.
I agree that we are better with him in the team though.
