Woodytom Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I thought he was our best player tbh. At least looked half interested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul33 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Usual Grealish performance ..... danced around with the ball, showed his individual skills but contributed nothing with no end product and an obvious lack of awareness as to what his role was. He doesn't score, he doesn't tackle well, he doesn't defend well, he doesn't cross well, his vision is poor and his passing has no impact ..... usually backwards. Pretty to watch, interesting hair but a pointless player who delivers nothing of use to a struggling team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a struggling team he will never flourish. Paul Merson before the game said pretty much the same thing. I am in no doubt that Grealish is a very talented player but to me he lacks confidence to really impose himself on a game and take chances when in possession. It is all too safe from him the majority of the time. I think that comes from being in a side totally lacking in confidence. The only time he has looked really good was in the spell when Sherwood first arrived and the whole squad was lifted for a while and the shackles came off and confidence returned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 (edited) Get him playing directly behind McCormack and see what he can do. Massive talent, needs someone confident making half-intelligent runs for him to get assists. Get a destroyer (Jedinak?) in, and play 4-2-3-1 with Grealish at 10. Adama on the right and then Green or the hugely frustrating Ayew on the left. Edited August 11, 2016 by Tom13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Hes more anonymous than Gil was.. at least Gil was involved and tried to move and pass. Grealish was fading in and out of the game.. started brightly and just faded. Overrated player. Playing a league 2 side.. he should have run that shit. He ran away from it instead. Massively disappointed but not surprised. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hit the post with a bullet of a shot that beat the keeper, half an inch to one side and we wouldn't be saying he has 'no end product'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I actually thought he played pretty well last night came close a few times and created chances. Always looks good on the ball and hardly gives it away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 He started the game really well but just like everyone else, we conceded and he lost it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 one of the few people to leave the field with any credit whatsoever last night for me. wasnt great, but hardly embarrased himself. Looked promising linking up with Amavi at times going forward however awful the team performance was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villianusa Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Considering he looks like he may have some talent, he isn't seeming to use it. He should be taking teams like Luton apart, but he isn't and doesn't seem like he wants to. He picks up the ball, does a couple of shimmys, cuts inside, then lays the ball off. He needs to start going at players with confidence, and believing he is better than the. At the moment, he is doing enough creatively on the ball. He should be able to play anywhere across the field and have an influence. Sadly, showing nothing more than any of the home grown talent at present. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 The way it looks like we may need to setup, I'd have Grealish as the number 10 with McCormack and Ayew ahead of him. There are, currently, the 3 players in our squad who look comfortable enough on the ball. Gestede doesn't work unless we play width and seek to cross the ball - so let's sack that off and implement something that suits our players. I can't see much harming in using 3 central midfielders (Tshibola/Westwood/<x>) with the aforementioned attacking trio ahead of them. Tshibola and <x> can do the main defensive work, Westwood can pass it to Grealish and those 3 can try and create something. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Could Be Rotterdam Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Still think he holds onto it for too long and isn't as good as everyone says but took his goal well. Do or die for him this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
