This is stream of consciousness stuff.
The comparison to previous players is always a difficult one.
Yorke was magnificent but tainted this because he is a word removed. But he looked magnificent even surrounded by good players.
McGrath was and is supreme. He was so much better than really good players around him, he was on a different level. Part of my love for him was his flawed genius stuff.
Grealish is imo one of the best players in Europe. He has given us some amazing goals, rotherham and the derby goal from the corner, I'll remember for years. He has looked so much better because he has been surrounded by lesser players. I'll be genuinely interested how he progresses, I love him as a player and will watch him and his career . On one level I want him to be a success, on another I want him to fail.
I don't know which level on the stages of grief I'm at yet.
