I agree his attitude isn't right, but i also think his ability is overplayed. The kid will never make it imo. My fear is that maybe he thinks he already has made it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he continues this way I think next season could be his last at the club. I think in a more offensive team he would look better, not sure we will see that under Bruce. Where he played today what were is options, no runners, little movement, marked tightly giving little options going forward. Even Messi would have struggled today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Didn't think he was that bad. Was much more involved in the game than Adomah or Hogan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted April 23, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted April 23, 2017 Once again terrible today, totally anonymous. His best moment came when he basically got tackled twice but the ball ricochet off him back into his path. He just receives the ball, takes all momentum out of whatever attack is building, then lays the ball back to the defence/middle of the park. He has totally lost the ability to breeze past people. Why does he NEVER receive the ball then keep moving forwards? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 What he does is receives the ball looks up for a pass sees **** all on and then passes it back... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screwdriver Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 All number 10s have to earn their corn on the wing and earn the free role. Just like Merson did and Ashley Young. I bet Hazzard started out wide aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villarocker Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Slows the game down too much and does very little else bar score the odd worldy - sell him this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is actually interesting Danny Murphy alluded to players playing in a number of position to learn the full game....I think we as fans can get a bit hung up with playing out of position......the Pro's don't seem to be so concerned with it......Mon was forever switching players around. Quite often I have read so and so Manager doesn't know what he is doing.......could it be it's us that don't get it as opposed to them.

I meant in terms of pace, Barry was slow and greallish is just as slow. grealish is composed on the ball but i dont see much else from him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Petrified of losing the ball IMO. First time he did it at the weekend, massive groan from the fans. Same with Adomah to be honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Nothing would give me more pleasure than to see Jack dominating his position and dominating the ball in to the bargain. He is friends with Delle Ali and he should be up there sparing with him, in terms of performances. Its a bloody tragedy for us, what he is producing.......I sincerely hope he can find his mojo from somewhere. A fully functioning all singing and dancing Jack Grealish, would have us rising like a Phoenix from the ashes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Could probably make pretty sweet 2 minute highlight video out of his best moments this season. But sadly that's not really enough over a 46 game season. Really needs to up his tempo, movement, vision, intensity and most of all level of consistency if he is to become the player we hope he would be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Poor season overall but still managed 5 goals and finished 2nd top scorer. Has the potential to offer so much more and could be the midfield goal scorer we need from midfield. Shame he plays for a manager who'd prefer Bacuna or ask jack to think about his defensive duties first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I find him so frustrating - clearly he has the ability but there are still doubts over his application. I want to see him running at defences - we know he can do it. Too many times he slows down play (even with players alongside or ahead of him) or takes the easy option. I'd love to see him knuckle down and put some urgency in his game (I know he looks naturally lethargic/relaxed on the ball) and could do with that extra yard of pace too.
