10 | Jack Grealish - 2024/25

[Manchester_lalala]

I’ve been saying he needs to play in the middle for a quite a while. He’s got all the attributes to play there. I think he could play 6, 8 or 10.

Seems a bit mad saying this as he cost £100m, but he could save us from spending money on a CM. We still need a DM, but I think we need two new midfielders.

Best game in a City shirt…and when we really needed it from him. Only a goal would have made it better.

We have been crying out for him in midfield and he never disappointed .

The Daily Mail rate him as 6.5 and say he needs goals. This is how these blinkered narratives perpetuate. Well done, Jack, good performance.

This strikes as the current boom/ bust/ amazing/ terrible take that seems to have become the norm.

He was above average there today and showed enough to believe there is something there.

Think a lot on here wanted him tried there and it’s clouding there judgment.

Think his positioning at times was off, didn’t ever look a real goal threat and as such I don’t think he was brilliant or our long term answer at this point.

However and someone may prove me wrong he seemed to really do a good job of keeping possession, particularly carrying the ball forward.

He has not played that position in a long time and so I think he will have learnt a lot tonight.

Agree that he needs to start there against Palace, but think a lot of work needs to be done if he is ever going to become a regular starter there for us.

I hope for him he does it, very likeable guy by all accounts and has a lot of talent.

I thought he played really well

I’m so confused as to why Pep waited for KDB to be back to start Grealish in the middle.

Pep being unconventional, well I never

They also supported the Nazis

 

[The Norfolk Blue]

Just confused why it's taken so long to play him more centrally with the injury/loss of form situation.

A player who wants and needs the ball and a better player when he has.

I was thinking the very same, I'm sure he'll only get better if he's given a run in the side more centrally, and goals and assists will surely follow.

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Probably his best game since the treble run in.

Pleased for Jack and the whole team, they bloody needed that last night.

 

[Keeper!]

Just as important is keeping fit and getting into some sort of rhythm wherever he plays, he could have to turn out at CB the ways things are going!
