10 | Jack Grealish - 2024/25

[Gabriel]

Instrumental in the second goal and dovetailed nicely with de Bruyne.

 

[Ric]

He was outstanding in the first half. Faded a bit in the second, but that’s only to be expected given that it was his first start of the season. We’re pretty blessed with wide options when everyone’s fit.

Great to have him back. He needs a few games to get up to speed but he controls so much for us. Played well today

 

[oldius]

Good work, fella.

There's a difference between fitness and match fitness.

You can spend weeks in the gym but still get tired in your first match after that because there's no training that replicates the strain of 90 competitive minutes.

Match fitness only comes from playing matches. It's not just physical stamina although that's definitely part of it, it's also rhythm and mental sharpness, the ability to continually respond to changing circumstances and instructions. It's why nobody ever looks at their absolute best on the first match back from any kind of significant absence.

Of course, it's just that I've heard so many people here call players not fit with nothing to back it up, it annoys me.

First half excellent. Quiet second half. Got to start taking some of these chances though and improve his scoring stats.

 

[youngbob]

So happy for him. Worked hard today.

Always happy when Jack is playing especially Champions league games. He was really good today.

Very good 1st half, good to see Jack back.
