10 | Jack Grealish - 2024/25

[Dialog]

Needs to be played more centrally, he isn’t a winger

What is he? And give me proof of that position you think he is. Because when we bought him at Villa, he was their LW.

"he’s been a LW for his entire Premier League career. That’s the role he’s been thriving in (or trying to) since stepping into the top flight.

Unless, of course, people want to dig up ancient history and reminisce about his younger years in the Championship at Villa, back when he wasn’t even facing the same level of competition."

Nonetheless, we might as well play him centrally, what do we got to lose, it is a s*** show anyway.

Didn’t play left winger for England recently

I'm sorry. I've been saying this for years. At these levels, you can't have a player who just can't score or assists. He can keep the ball-great, get some fouls, fight and help the defense, that's very nice. But he is not providing any numbers.

#10 at Manchester City, on such a crazy salary, with 100M price tag, should give much, much, much more than that.

Txixi's first fuck up.

I tell you about years being a LW and you tell me about a recent game for England, which he barely features? Okey-dokey

 

[Yue Wollongong]

The chase race of the through pass in dying minutes was hilarious. Overall, he was the better half of the team today. Silva had a shocker today

 

[the old abbey]

Lovely person is our jack. But I've played with better on Littleton Road.

Will he become a 15-20 goals/assists a season player if he plays centrally?
If the answer is no. And I'll give you a spoiler, the answer is no, then everything I said before still applies. I'm not saying he's not a good player. He can't play as a winger, AM or a striker for elite club like Manchester City if he doesn't provide numbers.

And I'm not even saying that because of the game today. I'm not blaming him for it. He's just not capable of scoring goals.
The ball comes to him in the box and I don't even expect there to be a goal, I just hope we win a corner or something. I won't even talk about kicks outside the box.

He played more central for England which is a fact and he played well.

He has never got those numbers though, so surely nobody is surprised he hasn't all of a sudden become this goalscoring winger people expect.

Pep wanted him, badly enough to break transfer records and waited several weeks for him to sign. It wasn't for his goal scoring was it.

Remember the great pass from Nunes where any attacking player in the world would have a 1v1 (which would've meant 4-0 for us)? Except Grealish of course, because he needs 3 full seconds whenever he is in front of goal. Genuinely, I am astonished of how he transforms a 1v1 into a corner where he didn't even attempt a shot.

Him perfectly in five seconds.Then he smiled.
That F*&^ed me off big time.
