KSV Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 he sure has improved since his first appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomh621 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Did genuinely seem with a couple of crosses that he couldn't generate the power to put a good cross in due to his more slight frame, but he can work on that. Looked a real threat. Does he actually wear shin pads or does he just wear them really low? Hard to tell. This sounds like I admire a mans body too much but here goes. Did you see the size of his leg muscles? Did you see the whip on his shot? The kid is an athlete. I don't think he struggles to kick the ball hard. Yeah that's bollocks i can hit a corner into the box piece of cake and have done since i was 15. All I've ever done was kick a ball about with my mates too.

Woodytom Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Fair play to the lad. Came on and made a difference to an otherwise awful performance. At this stage, he's definately worth a starting slot however, I'm yet to see anything more promising than we did with someone like albrighton when he's come on in the past and added a bit of 'life'. I think he has a lot more about him than Albrighton ever did at this stage. Not sure how he'll go but he is definitely worth a starting slot above the likes of Weimann and N'Zogbia. Wel have to agree to disagree, but iirc, people were almost not bothered by youngs departure because of the impact albrighton had for his first half a season or so. Perhaps a bit older than jack and had better players around him but I'd argue albrighton did a hell of a lot more in his first few games than jack has.

Woodytom Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Yeah I was too Doug. I do not know specifically but there were genuinely people saying we would be perhaps better off given Albrighton/Downing's form. It wasn't a crazy shout at the time as Albrighton had done well, but it wasn't an opinion that lasted very long. And it certainly looks crazy now. I'm not putting Jack down btw, thought he did well yesterday but it shouldn't be ignored that he stood out in an abysmal team performance in terms of attacking.

PaulC Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Yes Albrighton made a bigger impact than Grealish when he started but he didn't go on and improve. Hopefully Grealish will develop as a player and become a far better player than Albrighton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJT123 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 If he plays well v Blackpool, then I think he will keep his spot for the rest of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Grealish will develop as a player and become a far better player than Albrighton. Did he? Only when he started a game, Grealish hasn't had more than 20-30 mins so far in the prem? Maybe one cup start but the whole team was gash then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Albrighton had a sensational start. The game against West Ham we won 3-0 he was brilliant. Grealish hasn't been given the game time yet and he's 2 years younger than Albrighton was but nobody can take away what Albrighton was like when he first broke into the first team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albrighton, by all accounts, got a massive contract from Leicester so good luck to him. He was below average at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
