He`s ace but not fit enough yet imo, he can burst away but couldnt do it say the way Leroy used to?

I'm pretty sure even he's said he's only quick over the initial few yards and doesn't have a high top speed. Acceleration can get him past players and he's honed a real skill in using that for his advantage. It's usually the burst of speed that makes all the difference. But he can't necessarily run away from people once he's past. Fortunately the majority of our games there's very little space so it's the initial acceleration that's so important.

He is fit enough and is not the same as sane , different skill set

100%.

That's precisely why we went for him. Initially, I thought he would be a bit of a speed merchant, but I couldn't be more wrong. His acceleration, dribbling, and a few other skills are what make him so dangerous. That's why he fits in so well in this new "version" of our team.

Changed the game. He should be starting every single home game. He makes things happen and the opposition are shit-scared of him.

 

[skillman]

Undroppable.

does he get every pass across goal right? no, does he succeed in every single dribble? no. but he somehow barely loses the ball. incredible feat for a winger who doesn't play safe at all

I love watching this guy. Grealish might well keep possession better but I’d rather watch Doku

He changed the game when he came on as we started moving the ball a lot quicker. His crossing needs a bit of work.

Any dribbler including Messi gets plenty of dribbles wrong because it’s the hardest thing to do in football. Absolutely brilliant to watch though and great for our side.

I really want to lay a serious question as to the validity of "Grealish keeps possession better" because my eye test says they lose the ball at about the same rate.
