10 | Jack Grealish - 2024/25

[oldius]

I would agree that Grealish helps the performance of the team. I think that he is one of a small group of players unfairly judged by some fans.

 

[oldius]

He is without any shadow of doubt, our worst ever signing. An astronomical fee, film star wages, and 3½ years of feck all. Not only was the presence of complete flops like Grealish a major contributory factor in Palmer seeing no future here, but he has haemorrhaged the club financially to boot. The only slack I can possibly give him is that Guardiola has completely coached any self-expression out of his game, but there comes a time when Grealish should have said "Wait a minute, you're killing me Pep!", and clearly he didn't.

He has been such a bad buy, he almost makes HS2 look like it's value for money!

A bizarre post - a real head-shaker.

If he improves the chances of us getting the ball in dangerous areas to score and prevents the opponents from doing the same… why, from our own corner, did he refuse to go forwards and instead passed back, inviting pressure onto Walker and Nunes, two players that cannot handle that pressure, leading to errors and a goal conceded? Because that sounds awfully like your theory is nonsense.

There is no such thing as a player that doesn't make mistakes and anecdotical evidence does not disprove theories.

He plays that way all the time

Going off his game vs Forest there is life left in Grealish for this season.

Grealish's impact on the game goes beyond G/A stats. Its crazy that people still haven't realized this after all this time. He simply makes the team better. He improves the chances of the ball arriving in situations where there is greater danger of scoring, and he prevents the other team from doing that. Grealish is the quintessential Pep player with his technique, intelligence and workrate. I don't understand how as a Man City fan you can love Pep but hate Grealish.

I’ll grant you he plays a team role, and some of the criticism is OTT, but really …a goalkeeper would be ashamed of those G/A stats. It’s actually some feat to return such ratios as an outfield player.

If you analyse actual games, he’ll do anything but shoot. When he does, his “finishing” is feeble.

they all raised their game for that match so all of them can do it still, they were positive and got the ball back quickly

i just dont think grealish will encourage the others and be a positive energy on the pitch , for the sake of the team i hope he can contribute something better than he has shown in 18 months

we need all our senior players to lead

He still added energy in a depleted midifield. The two issues were the injuries to Akanji and Ake.

Our worst ever? Really?

ironic really, when he mentioned BadBuy in his post

Authentic frontier gibberish at it's finest.
