2025/26 Jack Grealish


I think the biggest difference between us and many teams now is that we simply don't press from the front with intensity. We did it ok at times today to a point, but the top teams just suffocate you... Albeit with much more confidence in their midfield and defence if that press is broken.
Our defense is to slow for us to press high. We have the players to do it but you need pace at the back and we don't have that. Especially with no Branthewaite.
 

I didn't pay much attention to the rumours we were after him, never believed it would happen.

I was very pleased when he signed on loan. I thought that even if it didn't work out it was worth the risk, he'd need to impress with it being a World Cup year. I think he's going to do well here.

For someone with his off the pitch reputation he seems very down to Earth. Normally players seem robotically stage managed through every interview but he seems genuine and warm in his responses, it's refreshing.
 

I watched a post match interview with him, may have been with BeIn Sports. It was refreshingly honest. Not your usual footballer clichés or generic waffle. He spoke sincerely and with genuine emotion about his decision to move to Everton, how his family said to him he wasn't happy in recent years and he'd fallen out of love with football.

Considering he's got a bad boy image in the media, I really find him to be more likeable than most players out there.

He was in the papers because he was photo’s in a working men’s club. Oh no how dare he. No mention of the fact he put hundreds behind the bar, topped up the bingo prize (admittedly before going out and getting hammered in Newcastle). He’s not an idiot he’s just normal. Probably goes out on the lash half a dozen times a year, but every single time he’s on the front of the tabloids.
