Popular Post Stevo985 Posted September 28, 2021 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted September 28, 2021 How can anyone watch Grealish facing up against the best player of all time in the biggest club competition in the world and seriously think he’d have had the same opportunities at Villa 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 I’m watching Grealish and I’m seeing just another good player that doesn’t look out of place. But a 100m pound star signing that will be the difference in the big games? Not a chance in hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At best we'd maybe sneak into a CL spot somehow over the next 5-7 seasons if he stayed with us but we'd be smashed out of it pretty quickly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a night for him playing with some of the best in the world. Don’t begrudge him at all. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Man City might not mind if he's got a slight issue with his shins and needs to have a rest because they do that a lot anyway but it's interesting how he's been rolled out every single game, they don't seem concerned considering he was icing his shins only a few week prior to the start of the season when getting a 60 min run out for England. That's what I mean though, he was playing 60 mins and getting his shins iced for England So he conned England's doctors too just to get his man City move? That would be utter madness, did himself out of starting a euros final just so that he could move? I'm not having that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMelvillan Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Doesn't look out if place does he?. Fair play to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not having that I didn't think of anything of it at the time, just find it a bit surprising the issue seems to have totally gone away as soon as he's joined Man City.

Mic09 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 I think he is world class, but he never seems very good off the ball and doesn't get in good positions. But this could be because Man City play a specific system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s been ok but probably the least effective of the city players so far from an attacking sense. When making changes second half he should be one to go off imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally effects him towards the end of the season, an to be fair he ain't getting fouled as much now he's playing a little differently for Man City Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 It’s amazing that 3 of these players have had stints at Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSmirch Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 My respect for Southgate would rise above 0 if he drops Grealish and tells him he’s not getting enough goals and assists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play to him I should think that would be the minimum requirement for 100m. I’d say he has been the equivalent of El Ghazi for us in this game. Playing his part without doing anything special.

Yes, but the players he’s sharing a pitch with as well as a shirt with are all “worth” that. This is Guardiola all over, will be interesting to see how he does when Pep starts getting desperate.
