10 | Jack Grealish - 2024/25

[meeesh]

Some are just set on not giving Jack any credit these days! Thought he was fantastic last night but in the eyes of many, unfortunately they will never take to him.

Because he’s offering the square root of fuck all that’s why, great at running with the ball sideways and passing across field, as for fantastic last night? At what exactly, oh yes I know his famous trait of drawing free kicks coz every **** wants to kick fuck out of him as he’s a fancy Dan

I thought he played well yesterday. He's not going to be a Doku or Saving but he was creating chances.

 

[B\connellblue]

I was hoping Jack would get the winner tonight.

Some chance.

 

[callumcity]

I wish he’d get a chance through the middle, I think he could do a lot to unravel defences and drift through midfield.

Does what Pep wants him to do on the wing against a side that wanted to counter.

Doku and Savinho both lost the ball on a number of occasions which can be suicide against a team like Inter.

I like grealish, and i think last night he was decent - but I never ever expect him to score when he shifts it and shoots. Never. I honestly think that's all he should practice.

I said in the match day loonie bin
Jack does what pep wants him to do.
Work hard.
Keep the ball.
If he went gung ho and took his mam on every time he would loose the ball.
He does what he's asked.
A bit like the reason we don't shoot all the time .
A bit like ederson doesn't just pump it forward.
It's about moving the opposition keeping possession.
This is the system that win the treble.
I think pep knows a bit more than anyone on here

I'm so very glad that he doesn't

Grealish Blockish is still a better option than Doku.

 

[uwe rosler 28]

Grealish never has the fullback overlapping think that would massively help him in attacking areas. Apart from that think he is playing fine he's not putting us on the back foot from counter attacks by constantly giving the ball away.

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

I thought he made a load of space for Kev over and over again last night and if Kev had been on it we'd be talking about a really smart disciplined performance from Grealish in that "inverted" role.

I've never really understood why Grealish gets stick for this but Bernie doesn't when on the wing as they both play a similar role. Which is to try and move the defensive line around so other players have space or operate in.

You want to play checkers but Grealish and Pep are playing chess. Grealish is a crucial part of Peps Chess strategy, he won a treble with this system. Its hard to argue against it.
