To be fair I think Pep was considering playing him in the middle for a while but the problem that he has been injured so much. He was very good last night. So strong on the ball, which is exactly what we have been lacking in the middle of the park and such a difference to seeing young Rico getting knocked all over the show.That performance was the one many of us have been hoping would happen, once Grealish was given the chance and moved inside.
Not sure why it has taken Pep so long to try him out there, but better late than never imo.
Obviously any success achieved will be sulked over, frowned upon and ignored by the Grealish haters and experts who have decried his signing since arrival, but in truth it reveals more about them than the player or the club.
Kev disagrees.He has one very good game in three plus years and people think that he ran the game , kev did that
Great post. I also think it alleviated the load on Bernardo too because we looked so much more balanced.Those stats exemplify why Jack is an important squad member. Quite simply, he has outstanding technique. He also has a good engine and can play sensible football (like Gundo can / does).
I hope Pep perseveres with him in a central role. That left side of Josko, Doku and Jack has real possibilities.
Been a fan for a while. https://www.hitc.com/i-rate-him-de-bruyne-a-big-fan-of-aston-villa-player/Sounds like Kev dropping a hint to Pep that, with the subtlety of a sledgehammer.
