2025/26 Jack Grealish

[PITA]

I think Watkins was still at Brentford when Grealish moved to City—but it’s only a minor point either way.

So why ask the question?

As it happens, in 2020/21 Watkins played 37 league games for Villa and Grealish played 26.

If he had a Baines/Digne playing with him we’d be really, really dangerous down the left. As it is, he’s a top player and a massive upgrade but we’re not getting the best out of him. Would be way more difficult to nullify with a good partner.

Don't think it's so much about a partner as another threat, no matter what position. Personally, I'd like to see it on the other side of the pitch to open things up. I want opposition defenders to have sore necks on the way home from playing us from having to monitor back and forth too much.

He scored thru a deflection off an attempted clearance mate.

I not sure he knew too much about it. Although credit to him for being Jonny on the spot.

The jury is still out for me.

I'm sure that Grealish is devastated by this.

Ask and you shall receive.

Tbf I only posted that to mention a £350k wage in the hope of it taking off like the James one did.
Fully expected claims of £600k per week by now

Votes by whom?

Obviously because I wasn’t sure— like I don’t don’t know what PITA stands for.

That's the way that assists work. It's not rocket science.

So a two yard pass twenty yards from goal with a few defenders in between Garner and the goal is an assist—- not to me mate ! I don’t think it’s any type of science!

@Cameron Manning is he good enough for you yet? No sign of you for a week.

Maybe you’ve gone blind Corner I’ve been on most days in the last week, why what’s happened?

 

[PITA]

That's not answering the question that I asked. I didn't say that it isn't decided by votes.

I asked - who votes for POTM?

The reason I asked is that I would be interested to know if it is football fans. I'd be surprised if it was else the cult would win it every month.

But it literally is. Just because you don't like it, it doesn't mean that is isn't.

It's not up to you. You're not @davek

I thought overall he struggled yesterday. Obvious already that teams are doubling up on him while our left back is allowed to see plenty of the ball.

Quiet in here pal

So you don’t agree with the Opta definition of an assist?

Opta, a British sports analytics company and the official provider of Premier League statistics,[5][6] defines an assist as "The final touch from a teammate, which leads to the recipient of the ball scoring a goal"

If not how would you define an assist? You seem to be suggesting that pass length and distance from goal are metrics that should also be included?
