We must all be wrong watching him week in week out. He's just "good". Are there any other players we're wrong about? I'd like to know so we don't get too excited. Alan Hutton is a bit poo.

blandy Posted September 18, 2018 Moderator Share Posted September 18, 2018 3 hours ago, OutByEaster? said: It's really difficult to find players to compare Grealish too - he's not an Iniesta style midfield metronome dominating through rhythm and short passing, he's not a Bale-type athlete, he's not a winger in any real sense. I find that the only players I think remind me of him, or that he reminds me of tend to sound ridiculous as comparisons. There's something very rare in the way he plays the game, the style of his movement. I think Grealish is a fabulous player - but he's not a patch on the only player I've seen that I ever really think he reminds me of, a fella called Johan something or other. The closest in style (but currently a much a better player) is Eden Hazard, I think. Also, Chelsea have struggled to work out to how to fit him in their side over the years - where best to play him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has not been happening of late as he is stuck further back in midfield. Yes and he needs other players to create problems for the opposition. There’s only a handful of players who can play how he does when the opposition put three men on you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Grealish I wouldn't be surprised if he's gone in January. The only way we'll keep him is if we are in the top 4 and charging towards promotion.

Farlz Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Looked good in the first half out wide but then dropped off a bit in the second. Wonder if him out on the wing is going to be a regular thing now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 (edited) Some good link up play with him, Abraham, Kodj and even hutton. He was acting like a captain at times, gave El Ghazi and Elmo both a bollucking for losing possession around the box. Cant believe he dummied that ball for Conor, it was there too be hit.

He is not as effective at rightback but down the left, he's found a new lease of life. Back on topic, Jack played not bad tonight but he is starting to look frustrated at times during games. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Don’t like to see him out left but would obviously rather see him there than not on the pitch at all. So if Bruce wants to play more 4 4 2 we could see him play there more often. It does stretch teams to be fair. He does seem a bit wasted though.

That may be, but when he's played in the middle under our usual formation he picks the ball up too deep, he may have more possession but when he's on the left he seems to be more involved in the attacking third, last night's first goal was a shining example of this. It's a strange old problem but I prefer him on the left in an attacking sense. I wouldn't worry though, he'll be playing centre half on Saturday I've no doubt.
