10 | Jack Grealish - 2024/25

I've been willing him to do well for City's and his own sake as he seems very likeable but at the derby his general lack of focus, indifference and the unprofessional attempts at something as basic as a corner were disturbing to me..

Surely he must know he's on corners beforehand and he's got all week to practice them.Even if he's not in great form there's an opportunity to practice landing it on a square inch and create something.
But no probably got other priorities like endorsements

Rightly or wrongly feel he is burning his bridges now and saddens me to say so.

No. To make you feel better, He is not on the corners. It is the first time Grealish took corners for City ever since 2 months ago vs Wolves. And he only took corners for 3 times before this game. Apparently it did not work. I will be very surprised if there is any meaningful corner kick practice in the training. We even kicked the ball directly out of touchline in the 1st half. But looking back it is certainly better than hitting the first man.

PS: really really sh*t corners

If he improves the chances of us getting the ball in dangerous areas to score and prevents the opponents from doing the same… why, from our own corner, did he refuse to go forwards and instead passed back, inviting pressure onto Walker and Nunes, two players that cannot handle that pressure, leading to errors and a goal conceded? Because that sounds awfully like your theory is nonsense.

You make it sound like Grealish passed directly to Walker and Nunes. That is what Arsenal Henry trying to plant in your mind.

Fact is that Grealish passed to Foden who was asking for ball and in a good position and space. Foden determined to pass to Walker and directed him to pass to Nunes.

I dont think either Grealish or Foden wrong here. Josko and Kova were already making their ways to their defending positions. Nunes has plenty of space and he was asking for the ball.

 

[Blue and true]

But, I fear the likelihood of any club seriously interested in taking him, as his situation now, is almost niente.

I mean in terms of him turning it round, not so much whether another club would be interested.

The biggest issue from the above pictures is that we committed three players into the box and Jack crossed it(badly). Just said everything about the stand off-ish shite that we have been playing recently.
