Phil and Jack on the lash?

[Whether or not]

There is no doubt that Grealish was over indulged at Villa because he was the golden boy. Pep and City will not turn a blind eye, Pep bombed Zlatan out of Barca in no time and Jack needs to wise up. As for Phil, he cannot be indulged either, for his own good. Hopefully they both learn.

You'd think he'd scored about 12 own goals, pissed on the badge, and punched a mascot with the way some of you people talk about Grealish

You'd think he'd won all there is to win in the game and been the best player in the league for years the way some of you talk about Grealish.
Not aimed at you but it works both ways in regard to Grealish.
Some people seem to want him to fail, so that they can say " told you so", that is mental.
Some people won't hear a bad word said about Grealish, that is also mental.
I know the transfer fee wasn't his fault but every player has been judged against his transfer fee since the game began.
Grealish isn't any different and neither should he be, it comes with the territory

Grealish will sink or swim. You can only do so many stepovers and stutter steps on the wing while de Bruyne is bringing out fucking genius every time he touches the ball.

I think Phil has the talent in him to survive.

There are two sides to the spectrum of course but on this forum the negative side are much, much more vocal/dominant. Both in this thread and in his own performance thread, everytime I look at it, the vast majorit of it is just rational/normal/patient people vs people taking every little thing to the extreme because, as you said, they want their preconceived notions to feel justified.

Also, the comments about him have been different to the types negative comments that were made about other new signings i.e. Rodri and Cancelo... the comments are more personal, mad assumptions are being made.... there are people comparing his personality to fucking Ibrahimovic, which is just bizarre because even the most bitter of Villa fans would laugh at that comparison. I know we tend to be quite a pessimistic fanbase but I'd be embarrassed if other people saw how much some blues are slating our own player when ultimately all he's done is been a bit shit in the 18 yard box and shown up hungover for a recovery session. He deserves rational, constructive criticism for his performances and whatever punishment Pep deems necessary for the hangover -- not calls for him to be sold already like I've seen multiple times over the last few days.

Both Grealish and particularly Foden have the talent.

Grealish's problem is has he got the dedication to get to the very top, he has previous and needs to get his head down and show the talent, leave the bids and booze alone or at least be discrete.

Foden has the talent to be one of the very best but like his new mate needs to beware of the off field distractions, he has had wonderful role models at the club with the likes of David Silva , let's hope he keep his feet on the ground, he needs to.

I think Foden is a much better player. He sees the field so much better than Grealish. Grealish just fucks around with the ball until he loses it or pass it it. Foden makes things happen.

And here we have it. Bless your sensitive soul. Any negative comments of Jack gets met with abuse such as being called a 'none city fan'.
This thread is equally full of posters happy to put their view of a player above that of the Club.
Seeing Jack and Phil laughing together while being benched made me and others cringe. Rightly so. Seeing Jack's interview looking rough as shit is also not good for 'my club'.
I don't want to see him sold. I want to see him developed. Kissing his arse ain't going to do it. Pretending he has been great ain't going to do it. He has said himself he needs to improve. He may well need time but he also needs the right attitude moreso. Not seeing it yet. Therefore a kick up the arse rather than kissing his arse is looking more the right course of action.

See I made my point and called them both out on here for being brain dead so how long are we going to come on here and slag them of all season for 1 bad stupid decision? Pep was right to call them out too. Oh for me and it’s only an observation because can only go of your posts you seems to pick out any negative about our club and rarely praise. You also made my point at then end there calling out your football teams players for laughing.
