10 | Jack Grealish - 2024/25

[Belgian Flash]

Most misunderstood player in the game. Which is to be expected when football has become a game of boxscore watchers and stats merchants. But for me he is so precious because hes a throwback to a different, more romantic era of football. I love watching him play, hes Zidanesque in his movement, so elegant, so fluid. Just a joy to watch. But he should also be someone appreciated by the stats people because if you really get deep into more advanced stats, there is zero doubt that he significantly improves the probability to win in every game he plays. Fine, be a stats guy, but then at least don't be a superficial ignorant stats guy.

Not at all, in terms of aesthetics nobody is as good as Zidane but Grealish is probably the most graceful player that I know currently active.

Maybe not but would give us an out ball and move up pitch
And yes disappointed with his overall game

McAtee contributed more in 24 minutes than Grealish has in 12 months.

Damning.

You can say the same about other players who have been fit and available in recent weeks and contributed little to nothing
