Stevo985 Posted August 20, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 20, 2018 He and McGinn ran the show on Saturday. The problem was there was no cutting edge in attack. They either fed the wingers who more often than not disappointed, or they played it to Kodjia's feet who struggled to create anything. There were very few clear cut chances created by anyone. We miss Snodgrass as a creative player from wide, and Albert looking a shadow of his former self is also not helping. Hopefully Green taking Albert's spot will solve one problem. I'm still optimistic that the Grealish/McGinn partnership could blossom. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did it last year and had no other plan when anyone nullified our wingers. If we actually worked on pattern of plays then we could create chances in open play more often.

Its too easy for the opposition. At his best last season he had company in Snodgrass, CH, and an in form Albert. That spread the load for both us and the opposition. We need 4 creative players, not 2, in my view. Spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siminjo Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I thought that it was one of the weaker games i have seen of Grealish yesterday. From the 75th minute, he dind't work anymore, he just passed the ball and wandered back and forth. Hope Bruce isen't afraid to sub him off when he clearly needs a rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 (edited) He was OK, but that's about it. I felt he often held onto the ball far too long and some of his passing and delivery from set pieces was poor. For someone wanted by a club like Spurs I expect more and I've felt that in every game I've seen him play this season. McGinn to me looks more important thus far. Grealish needs to go up a gear or two. Will be very interesting to see how he plays with El-Ghazie and Bolasie.

I would like to see his best work in the last third.....but the weight of his passes is superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Villan4Life Posted August 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 23, 2018 (edited) Wonderful for Jack to lead out Josh Nicholson last night (Would have made that little lad so happy bless him) reminded me of myself as i had similar disease to him!! Hope the little lad pulls through and gets better. Have a lot of respect for Jack Grealish doing this, he gets negative press in past but does a lot for the young fans like Josh, Moin Younis and Carter Carrington Have left a comment on it! Will be keeping tabs on how the lad is doing Edited August 23, 2018 by Villan4Life 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LakotaDakota Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 (edited) Also top of the dispossessed & unsuccessful touches stats, Less tackles & interceptions than just about every other player. Fewer key passes, assists & shots than McGinn who has played a game less, but hey he's been fouled the most... 1 assist from a corner in 4 games where we have scored 9 times... Nothing has changed.

PieFacE Posted August 23, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 23, 2018 Thought Jack had a bad game yesterday by his standards. His weight of pass was a bit off and could have had a shot a few times but chose to take a harder option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Yeah he wasnt good against Brentford. I hope Bruce realise he is only 22 as well and may need a rest every now and then. Hourihane McGinn and Whelan can play against Reading.. maybe give him a breather to keep him fresh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted August 23, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 23, 2018 He just looks to me like a player trying to do too much. Once he relaxes a bit and gets onto his stride he's going to storm this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
