It's easy to give him a pass when the team is doing well. It's when our team is not doing well, it really exposes that one of our higher paid player at 29 years old is not doing enough.
That is very true. His performances are ok when De Bruyne/Bernardo/ Gundogan are weighing in with the assists and goals from midfield and Haaland is running riot but on the occasions we need Grealish to step up it rarely happens.
There might be others, but I can only think of Leeds away where he has been the ‘main man’ and shifted the course of the game in our direction.
When you think of matches like Bernardo v Real
Madrid/Liverpool 2019, KDB v Arsenal/Chelsea, Foden and Haaland in the 6-3 derby, Gundog Fa Cup final v United, Rodri v Inter etc when we have needed them most, on the biggest stages they have stepped up.
Now those players are struggling, sadly Grealish won’t be the player to carry the torch and will remain a bit part player.
