Jack Grealish

This is what he said

Phil Foden, for example, is a very special talent but I don't think even he could do quite what Jack has done at Villa in the past few months.

You know Foden can turn quickly with the ball, burst away from players and then look for the pass. It's what makes him so exciting to watch.

But part of the reason he plays so well for City is because of the players he has around him - he always has runners going this way and that, providing him with options and giving him space.

Whereas with Jack at Villa, he always has to make something happen on his own, and often does. He can turn a game on its head with his dribbling as well as his delivery, and he is just top notch in tight spaces.

Foden is exceptional and he is going to be one of the main men for City for years to come but there is room for Jack as well.
I think Phil’s goal last night perhaps rebukes that assessment

Did you see Foden's 'individual' effort yesterday? He made that goal for himself. Absolutely nothing to do with runners providing him options. He looked for a pass early in the run, but when the space opened up and he saw no blue shirt to pass to he took on their defence and beat them with an outstanding finish.
