2025/26 Jack Grealish


Top player and I'd even go as far as saying that I'd take him over Rodrigues if I was given an ultimatum.
At times I think he could be a little more selfish and letting fly when he cuts in on the edge of the box.

The one disappointing thing I see is every time he draws 2-3 defenders onto the wing he plays that pass back in and 80% of the time it always finds Idrissa who is terrible at letting fly or picking a killer pass. If that pass was consistently played to a Ndiaye, KDH, Garner, Alcaraz we could nearly triple our half chances with either a shot or a square/diagonal ball in to the striker or RW. Then it would make it harder for an opposition to send extra numbers across to close Grealish down giving him a bit more freedom.

That is my only criticism of his and our play in general. I think he needs to try to beat full backs on the outside a bit more and find a more creative player, more often, in those passes to the edge of the area. The second one is obviously not down to him directly.

I think it has been an absolute dream partnership and everything has fallen right in getting a hungry, talented player with the personality that rubs off on the fans and his teammates alike.
