2025/26 Jack Grealish

[Super Kevin sheedy]

Even though Jack Grealish is vastly overrated, he did okay today and got lucky with a few assists. To be honest though, the lad needs to "up" his game.

Overrated ?

 

[Oddson]

Not a fan of the lad who yanked him over when he passed the shirt to the young fan.

If he's your mate have a word.

Already got me feeling like a kid again watching us. Lads infectious

The big thing that Grealish brings besides the obvious quality is quite simple.

In a side if your best player by a way is also the one who works his socks (low ones) off for the full 90, it's sets the benchmark that every player in the side has to put in the same effort. When that player is also one of the most likeable guys in footy - you'll want to bust your backside putting that effort in as well.

Hate to say it, but the lot across the park have had that in the past with Suarez, now Salah. It raises the standard of the entire squad and is infectious.

The biggest thing for me I noted on his debut was not the assists etc, it was early on when he flew into a 50/50 with their right back and won the ball back. With his ability he could be forgiven for not fancying that side of it, but I just remember thinking he fancies this.

….thats definitely me, Matey, long may the vaulting continue. Hopefully wrong all season on him and KDH , Grealish has been terrific.

Meanwhile I said he was our most exciting signing for years, but I'm not going to mention it

 

[MrGrumpy]

I hear City are interested in buy Young Jack off us, after 4 assist in 2 games

If we manage to keep the core of that frontline fit we will have a very good season. It's clear the quality we have in that area and the understanding that they have with each other. They know exactly where and when to move from their positions and I like that Moyes is giving them that freedom to interchange and not be rigid in staying in the position they start the match in.

As said, when we signed him, I was worried that his best football had been when he played as a CAM for Villa, and he hadn't produced his best football for City aside from the first one or two seasons. He's been criminally shackled by Pep in terms of his freedom and that has had an impact on what he's been able to do and I got it wrong! He's been fantastic and I'm very happy we decided to go for this, the fee is already looking like a bargain.

 

[degsy]

i hearby stand corrected;
he's better that i thought he was going to be...up to now

 

[BullensRoad]

….all that matters is that Moyes gets it right.

TBH, I’ve not been keen on bringing KDH in either but I like that Moyes explained he wanted players that improved our quality and possession in the top third. Bringing players in that the team needs.

I love it when we win, delighted to be wrong again.

Ok boomer.

That you is it lad?

As soon as Grealish decides the majority of time to stay on his feet, rather than falling over attempting to get free kicks, then he becomes a better player. A similar situation happened with Arteta when he came and he became a much much better player.

 

[davek]

Grealish: "unbelievable! thats what its all about. thats what you want from fans"
Dave: "theyve taken liberties there and made him feel uncomfortable"

Those fans took the piss and they shouldn't have man-handled him.

 

[NathDogg]

Lads can see City recalling him

Nah, that stubborn fool Fraudiola won’t back down on Jack now, he’d have to get sacked before that happens.

He went to ground easily enough about 5-6 times yesterday. And so he should too. It's part of the game now and it breaks up play to or advantage.

When the manager wont make substitutions to do that then it's up to seasoned pros like Grealish who are good enough to persaude refs to blow their whistle to step up and break up opposition momentum.

Hopefully more of our players start doing it - something we've been woefully lacking in for years.
