10 | Jack Grealish - 2024/25

One of the small few that actually look arsed

An underrated talent is at least turning the fuck up.

We say that, but we kept lumping the ball to him and his end product was nothing.
I can only assume we've coached any genius out of him

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

TBH, Peter Barnes and Tommy Hutch skinned full backs more in a first-half than this lad has in three and a half years.

Zinchenko and Delph as well. That's saying something

 

[BigOscar]

So are we officially past the one year mark without a goal now? For a winger. Well at least he looks arsed

Not beyond the realms of possibility that he's been stifled individually for the sake of team success.

 

[simon23]

he is as technicaly skilled as Foden I was told when we bought him

he is the natural successor to KDB I was told when we bought him

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA......the team have carried him every season baring one half of one season since he has been here......

He has no creativity, no goal threat....teams leave him in space as they know he wont do anything....and he proves them right.

 

[jamielowndes]

Played well except he can't shoot for shit.

Maybe putting him in a position further back like attacking mid might help...

Did what he could until Villa started double teaming him every time the ball came in the 2nd half since Cash couldn't risk another yellow (despite committing 3 yellow card offences in the first place) and nobody else was doing anything useful.

Whole lot of nothingness. Started brightly but he doesn’t contribute to anything.

Interested to hear what you think exactly he did well? When a team actively gives you as much room as you could ever want because they deem your threat so insignficant, that says an awful lot, it says even more when you produce absolutely nothing of value and prove them entirely correct.

Nobody else was doing anything useful as you put it because villas entire gameplan revolved around cutting off all the spaces except out on the left and forcing us to give the ball to grealish every time knowing that would effectively end the attack.

Villas setup essentially said "were going to shut off the supply to the few dangerous players you have and make you give it to the ones who pose no danger"

They were happy for him to have the ball. He got the fullback booked and then stopped running at him. Thick as two short planks.
