10 | Jack Grealish - 2024/25

[Blue and true]

he saw more of the ball because Emery wanted him to. he knew end product wont come from Grealish. he also asked Cash to foul him often. you can get away with that also if those fouls happen when attacking player has his back to the goal which is what Grealish doing 99% of the time.

It's an interesting point, and I tend to agree. They seemed content to give him acres of space for that entire first half.

He’s just a whole lot of nothing.

I like the guy, seems like a genuine bloke who's down to earth and has played some sort of part in our most recent success.

But he typifies the start of our downfall (or for better wording, current predicament) for me. £100m is no longer the fee for quality like Aguero, De Bruyne or Yaya Toure....but a whole load of averageness and a path to mediocrity.

Before anyone starts, I know he can't help the fee. I'm not actually having a go at him, more the fact he's never been anywhere near good enough for where we want to be as a club.

Seen it yesterday first half at Villa who were more than happy for him to be the only City player in space. Why? Because he's of no threat whatsoever. Rarely scores or assists, rarely makes real incisive through balls or passes. Just controls it well and passes it sideways or backwards (to our admittedly static teammate's).

Needs gone, sorry Jack.

Jack's play when he was at Villa reflected his.personality. He was a joy to watch when in full flow.

Jack's play at City under Pep relects Pep’s rigid approach to his system. Pep has killed Jack's natural style.

You can take the lad out of Birmingham, but it helps if you let him bring his game with him.

Stuck out in a shit villa side. Never good enough for the very very top, regardless of how he's used. Just a poor signing, didn't excite me at the time and hasn't done since. For £100m, it's just insane.

 

[Damanino]

his best year in Villa were in either Champo or when Villa was 17th and 11th in PL. this current Villa with Emery is levels above that Villa. not sure Grealish would be a fixed starter there these days.

 

[nickamon]

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.

Absolutely this!

Not a very holistic approach
