Picked it up on half way and drove straight at the CBs, eventually getting a free kick of Azpilacueta. He just doesn't do that anymore...which is the big issue because it's what he is best at. Apparently Pep was disgusted at him doing that, he only wants Jack to get the ball and then quickly pass back to one of his defenders. Jack apologises for doing what he’s world class at and will fall back into line by only receiving the ball before passing backwards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaJ100 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I mean that could be one way to get people on side. Next time he starts, ignore all what pep has said, play like did at Villa, City fans and neutrals will prob love it, Pep will be flaming and sub him off at half time/55 mins, everyone on tiktok will be like wtf Grillfish was having an awesome game. Pep will be questioned about it and be all 'He was NOT CONFORMING TO THE SYSTEM' like a dictator but people will be badgering him to play him more etc. Maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Let’s be real, he never was a £100m player, he was just worth that to us. At the time, Grealish was the difference between premier league and championship. It’s kind of mental they decided to pay that. With a bit of perspective that we now have, Purslow’s comment of “we didn’t think anyone would pay it” makes more sense. If we were offered him back for £100m, I’d say you’re having an absolute laugh. He’s worth £50-70m max I’d say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were paying an inflated fee for England’s golden boy too, sadly for them, fans now aren’t as hot on Jack because of his move. He will come good, but he will never be that free flowing player we saw. He will be the City version, a new Jack who loses the flair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Wanted to share this city fan insight into Grealish: Pep literally yanked him out of conventional football and pushed him head first into a nebula of tactics. He's going to morph into a very dynamic winger if he wants. And if he doesn't, he'll look more and more like an okapi. Not giraffe, not zebra (Not his oldself neither new) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Well he is going to get his winners medal for sure. But will it mean everything to him ? A piece of metal at a souless club for checking back and passing the ball 500 times in a season . Its the champions league where he is going to get frustrated now. There is no way Jack gets into the line up at the business end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is the case and agree this will probably be the end result it asks the question why bother in the fist place? They never needed him did they?

I think it certainly has. I was disappointed with Jack going, but with the power on hindsight it's the best thing that could have happened to Aston Villa. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is 100% where I'm at now. It's still a bit dreamland, our bench against UTD. Amazing. Look at what we have been through in the last decade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post El Zen Posted January 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2022 I’d still have him back in a heartbeat. Play him right, manage him right, the boy is a world class talent and a terrific entertainer on the pitch. Don’t get me wrong, I hate how he left us and I hope he fails miserably there, but you’ll never hear me say ‘he was never that good anyway’ or ‘we’re better off without him’. He is that good and he’d instantly make us a better side. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
