I think they will still try and play more to his strengths now they have a proper striker but still won't be as swashbuckling as he was with us.

There was a moment in the game at the weekend that summed it up. He was out wide at the ball went down the line to him, he dummied it and rolled off the midfielder, then went sprinting into the opposition half towards the box, full speed. Then he was 1 on 1 with the defender with space in behind, he stopped, put him foot on the ball and looked for a safe pass. It was sad to see, especially as he got tackled. I wish someone had the clip on twitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine it’s frustrating for him having to force himself to play low risk passes all the time. He doesn't try to get past defenders anymore. That was made him that extra good for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 On the bench today, been replaced by Mahrez. If he has a good game, Grealish may be warming the bench the next few games, which is unfair as he plays well with Haaland, bet he's well gutted.

VillaChris Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Looks like he's bottled it after the Almiron comment. Would've been kicked to his last shinpad by the 90th minute. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's out with a "knock" apparently so unless it's the shinsplints again I get the feeling he didn't fancy it today and Pep probably didn't want a key player potentially getting serious injury early on in season so was happy to rest him. It was a stupid thing to say so Newcastle crowd and probably some of their players would've been on to him from first minute and he'd have been kicked more than usual.
