2025/26 Jack Grealish

[matty1878]

I guess if you're happy with mcneill for the rest of the season then yeah I guess we dont need a replacement. Not sure mcneill will give us the quality required to fight for europe though.

People complained about Grealish holding on to the ball too long, which at times he did.

Can see here though how much time he gives us on the ball, how much it benefits the whole teams play.

Everyone rushing in posession here.

 

[Abraders]

We definitely missed his quality in the first half. Would it have changed the game overall? Maybe. But he's a top player and we're better for having him.

I hope he recovers well and there's a cut price deal we're able to do.

 

[tantavisiteler]

what was his injury

 

[Cels]

what was his injury

I heard it was a fractured bone in his foot.

I think it's fair to say it helps a lot at times, but at times it's unnecessary and he still does it. He'll get runners either side, see them, keep holding it for 10 sec, try some hollywood pass BS and lose the ball - those are the frustrating times.

disagree, he rarely loses possession

Has the club confirmed its 12 weeks ?

Or the same sources that had Dewsbury Hall out til March ?

Yeah, he just crosses it into 10 defenders, that's a different thing altogether.

You want him to give it to Myko who will then lose the ball or pass back to Pickford?

Hahah, I'd love it if he gave it to Myko on the overlap who just blasts it back to Pickford from the opposition box

It doesn't matter if it's Myko or someone else, he still holds it for longer than needed - that worked well at City because every other player is of his quality and can make things happen, but we have, as you say, Mykolenko or Barry sitting idly between 3 people (he has improved on that now but Jack's gone so...). Sometimes he should be able to cross it earlier, or release it to anyone before trying the outside of the boot cross between 4 defenders or something like that.

With that said it's probably the only thing I can think of that warrants criticism and it's not even that big, I just expect better of him - he was great otherwise.

Which is exactly the same reason why KDH won`t give the ball to Myko too.

Definitely missed him yesterday. His presence on the pitch alone has the opposition thinking. He’ll he missed for sure.

yep, he drags so many over to him

could see last night how congested it was getting in the middle, if jack was on he would have been dragging them over

bogle had a field day first half as they didnt have to worry a jot about mcneil
