A lot of that is to do with the calibre of opposition we were up against - it's clear they had a plan to minimise his efficacy and they had the players to do it. They also have the players to cope with the rest of our team if they over commit to take out Grealish. Other teams do that and they leave gaps or 1vs1's that we can exploit. They don't leave those gaps and they leave Jack on his own again. etc etc You don't get that against Man City. They double up on Grealish and they've still got a team of world class players to cope with the rest of our team. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Yes Jack was quiet on Sunday, but even so he still played a huge role in the goal, he brought the ball out driving through midfield and then knocked the ball wide which was clipped forward. I think against Leicester we’ll see a really firing Jack and he’ll again show his class 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foden certainly endeared himself to me after the way he gave Villa props in his post match interview. To put his obvious joy to one side and give us due credit, was, to me, a testament to this young man's character. And, may I had, what a player this kid is.

I’m not anti Grealish, I think he’s a very good player just not quite as good as everyone else does. He’s our best player hands down, he’s gone at the end of the season regardless of what division we’re in. We haven’t had anything close to success for a decade now so we’re bound to exaggerate the talents of our best player. We’re starved of success as fans I think but it’s nothing compared to them down the road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said in the city thread if he was at any other team he already would be a star already. City can afford to ease him in.

We’re starved of success as fans I think but it’s nothing compared to them down the road I can respect that. Jury is still out if he can perform at a bigger club with higher expectations. At the time I thought Benteke would ace it, but he's been one big disappointment since leaving the Villa.

Bugzy1991 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Grealish is easily the best we ever seen. Well the best I ever seen. But does he move the needle enough for the amount he will cost the top teams? I don't think so. I think that's why he will stay here if we stay up.. but if we go down. He's gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjaacckk91 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I'm convinced he's injured, looked it last week and not himself tonight either. So sprints at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I think he's done. The physical and mental strain of dragging the club for over a year has taken its toll. And it must be difficult to block the idea of playing for a top club when these shits are eventually relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
