tinker Posted April 16, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted April 16, 2022 The City players just don't play him in at all , if they do pass to him it's in a nothing area. More than once he has been in decent positions and has just been ignored. I think egos are playing a big role in this city team with Grealish. He's got to raise his game to become the star man in that team before he can flourish, what a waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hit it first time with the ball running across him, with curl to take it away from the defender on the line (and with his weaker foot). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MakemineVanilla Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 That would make it five goals for City as compared with ten for his best season at Villa. It would be interesting to compare the ratio of time on the ball with goals scored. I wouldn't be surprised if his five at City actually puts him ahead. His shooting accuracy at City is the best in the list at 74%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeyb Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Sorry for having m, doesn't wven look like a £40 million player out there. He will win a trophy this season, not sure it will as good as our play off final win, not because he is supposed to be a villa fan but more because he was the talisman, the focal point and captain if that team.

Rds1983 Posted April 17, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted April 17, 2022 Is there a chance that he's not actually as good as some of us thought and we're romanticising him? Personally I'm at the point where I think he was a brilliant player for us but one who had several faults. I'm also starting to feel the obsession with him is a bit like City with Bellingham. He's gone, he's got nothing to do with us anymore, who cares what he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. We built him up because he was homegrown and a Villa fan. But actually, his best football was played in the championship. We were still a mediocre team that couldn’t get a sniff of the top ten even with him. We 100% overrated him and I can see that now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
