Disagree.

Yeah me too I think

He's a better player than rashford or sterling but as I said and then @jpjcb said there's tactical and other personnel reasons as to why he doesn't suit Southgate's team

For the same reason I actually don't like sterling playing for England, he plays too deep imo and wants too much of the ball, for as poor as he was in the first half yesterday and his general passing Rashford probably is the best option we have for the left

Blame Southgate and Kane

Maybe he really likes sliced vegatables, so when he says something is the best thing since sliced vegatables he means it as a huge compliment, playfully improvising on the famouns best thing since sliced bread saying, he's being creative with his words, sounds like the kind of thing I would do.

The more I watch Grealiish these days the more I see the Jack Grelaish of about 6 or 7 years ago.  We'd just got relegated, he'd just established himself in the team, and he was already regarded as our star player.  But I was among quite a few who put him in the "plenty of fart, not much shit" category.  He'd do something flash, maybe beat one man, but then lay it off sideways or backwards, or draw a fouls, but almost always the safe option.  It was as if he didn't have the confidence to take on the further dribble, or the shot or the cross. He seems to have reverted to playing like that now, well within himself,  for both City and England.  Possibly under instruction. Frustrating to see him get in positions where he might try to curl one in from 20 yards or take his man on in the box and just lay it off instead.  

For us, gradually, eventually, he overcame that and became the virtuoso we now remember, making loads of chances and scaring defenders to death. If he can rediscover that he'll be well worth £100m.

He actually is saying sliced veg 😂

 

It's very funny, but it's obviously "sliced bread"

The g sound comes from it rolling into "you know"

Sliced breadyouknow

Strangely enough I think the "youknow" is what makes it sound more like the end of "bread" - "...egyouknow" = "...eadyouknow". It defintely sounds like it starts with a "v" to me.

Either way, it's funny because it being Jack means there is even this discussion that he might well have said "veg".

'only got 6 goals last season'  and only 3 goals in the league which lead to a tiny contribution to winning the league. 

City would've won the league without you Jack you were just a passenger.

That will never EVER cross his mind, he will believe he was integral to everything they did.

Honestly.

Not to mention a fluke tap-in on the knee against Wolves, celebrating like he’d scored a worldie. He left and I don’t really care, he’s got his narrative. I’m just glad we are beyond the yearly speculation about where he will be in the summer. Loyal to a point.
