10 | Jack Grealish - 2024/25

[pudge]

Grealish and Savinho on the wings until one of them is injured

 

[Lauz9888]

Has his flaws like any player but his decision-making is usually spot-on and that helped us salvage the draw today.

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

Contrary to those who don't think he carries an attacking threat, for that last 20 minutes he was the only player on the pitch that carried an attacking threat. He had them on their heels and pushed them out of shape, and that ultimately got us the goal.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Chuffed for him.

 

[Lowtower]

Was excellent when he came on today.

Without him theres no equaliser.

 

[Chak19]

Was decisive for the equaliser, can't ask more from him with the amount of minutes he had.

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

That will do his confidence some good.

 

[lasereyes]

Saved us? Its a stretch cmon. Fanboyism at worse. Barely had impact for majority of his stint just like most of subs

He was the only one to try running outside his defender. Dont know why Doku and Savinho didnt try it cos I've seen them both do it. But we allowed them to defend narrow when we had to enlarge the pitch. Jack did that and ultimately it led to the equalizer. He was very good today.

 

[skillman]

Fair fucks to Jack today. Actually took the game to his full back and injected a bit of urgency to our play - the opposite of what he usually does (not a dig!) - and it worked.

Won the corner and had the quick thinking to play it quickly too.

Every time he attacked, he went FORWARD with the ball while still attracting 2 defenders. Everybody else had that issue but he seemed to create space for others more often than not when he had it.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

That will do his confidence some good.

I think his confidence was already up. He’s looked sharp all season and deserves to be starting

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Just needs to add some numbers to his all round game. Played well against Inter and today when he came on. I’d give him half a game Tuesday and then start him Saturday.

Doku isn’t doing enough to keep his place currently.

 

[Metal Biker]

In every game he's feature so far this season we've looked more composed in our attack, a growing sense of belief and Jack himself is getting himself into more decisive positions that usually result in golden chances.

Why some Blues continue to mock him is beyond me. When he's playing like this he's one of the first names on the team sheet for me.

 

[Tugay One Cup]

I was crying out for him and Rico at half time. That second half would have been perfect for him.

The obsession with him not scoring by the keyboard statos. That and shiny new fast winger syndrome.

 

[TonyM]

I'd have had him on with Doku/Savio. Same way that KDB doubles up with outside players to get behind their defense.

There were so many missed opportunities by Pep yesterday.

Back to Grealish - the only thing stopping Grealish from being very effective is himself. He needs to grab games by the neck like he did yesterday with that quick corner.

Also I like how he is drifting into midfield more often these days.

If I was Pep I'd hire some crazy American psycho macho WWE life coach type to send Grealish into a frenzy of self confidence before each game. Fuck ya!!!!!

Spot on. It was borderline mental Pep not doing that against that set up 2nd half. We couldn’t have played into their hands more than we did with being so narrow.

 

[Keeper!]

I was crying out for him and Rico at half time. That second half would have been perfect for him.

100%, more so with Rico for me, he would have played as a CM in the second half and he always gets into the area and he has the unteachable talent of attracting the ball when he does.

 

[B\connellblue]

Made a difference when he came on and his willingness to attack on the outside was a welcome development. Well done.

 

[clarion]

Let Jack play and the titles will come.

 

[MCFC1993]

Changed the game when he came on. He's one of the best in tight spaces at creating opportunities.

We'll play a lot of defences like that thus season, he has to be the starter now.
