Nearly everything attacking is going through him I'm not sure what game you're watching! Not on him though, I'd put it down to Hakimi playing very well against him meaning he's not getting a lot of joy, the stats will again say otherwise but it's also a game where he looks to get the ball the least too What he does do with so much was though is amble forward on the ball resulting in the whole PSG back line dropping deep, even if it results in a 5 yard pass backwards or sideways he's completely changed where the game is being played 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grealish is pivotal in that. Everything going through him might have been a slight exaggeration but he’s involved all the time going forward. He’s certainly doing more than 5 yard passes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he needs to do more in my opinion. Will be harsh if Sterling or Mahrez are taken off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think Villa were floundering around in League 1 the way some people talk. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaCas Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Thought Grealish was bang average tonight. Looks subdued and lacking confidence to take a risk. I thought everything he did was too slow and deliberate 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
