Keyblade Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Really funny seeing United fans having protracted discussions on signing him when he's not even been linked. They seem to think he's a United fan for some reason too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't necessarily mean they get worse as players. Look at KDB for example, gets injured quite a bit but he's an absolute monster. Agreed, some of them actually get STRONGER and better with extended rehabilitation, strength work etc. Also gives them time to reflect and analyse the game, and their game more. Of course given it's not an injury which damages muscles etc beyond repair. Edited January 1, 2020 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Anyone see his run in the 83rd or so minute and running full pelt "dinked" the ball over the defender and went past him like he literally wasn't even there? I'm so glad he's getting into dangerous positions and finishing now because my comparison of Totti about 4 years ago was wavering 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that means that he is going to sign for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And actually timing late runs for them into the box really well - there was another today where the defender just beat him to it but you could tell it was something they have been working on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a fantastic header today the way he ghosted in. Love that he is more willing than ever to have a crack at goal. His confidence is really up in this respect and I want to see him testing the keeper as much as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted January 2, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted January 2, 2020 Just think, Grealish was robbed of an assist against Crystal Palace for "diving", and arguably robbed of another goal today with a ridiculous VAR call. Would be having some season stats wise if those two counted. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom13 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 (edited) My favourite thing about Grealish has always been his intelligence combined with his selflessness. If he doesn't get the goal or even the final pass for an assist, he doesn't care. Every time he picks the ball up he's trying to create the best situation for us to score or to take the pressure off, and 9 times out of 10 he makes the right decision. Whether that's taking it on himself, playing a killer ball, playing it for an overlapping fullback to cross or just keeping things ticking over, he has always been unbelievably intelligent in these situations, and known when to release it. He knows when to beat a man and when to just lay it off, and his weight of pass has always been phenomenal. Combine this with his unbelievable close control and dribbling ability, his improved finishing (he now has much more confidence to take a situation on himself), and his more powerful physique, and we have an absolute gem of a player. One of the best in the league easily. Edit: To add, what truly makes him special is his positive, determined, winning mentality.

Tomaszk Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 He'd start for in midfield for Liverpool, he'd start on the wing (or midfield!) for City. You have to say that makes him one of the better players in the world. He's absolutely top top level, Christ what a sad day when he leaves. For the first time in about a year he missed a decent pass today, went left to Luiz/Wes when Trez was in on the right early second half. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our owners won't be easy on selling him. Even Pep said that Jack is too expensive for him. Pochettino doesn't have a team yet. A proper offer could make him think. Currently, only Man Utd can get him in the PL. Can't see Chelsea sacking Lampard before the end of the season, Arsenal just got Arteta. I'd say in the whole Europe, its: Top 6, Barca, Real, Atletico, PSG, Juve, Bayern, Dortmund. Apart from that any PL team could compete with whoever. Maybe Inter, Napoli and some here or there. But in reality, everyone in our league getting the same categories of players which some of CL teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Willard Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 His header yesterday for the disallowed goal was superb! We all know he can curl it top corner or volley it. The header though was brilliant and adds another arrow to his quiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 2, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted January 2, 2020 Southgate just doesn't use this type of midfielder. It's the same reason Maddison has barely featured in his squads, despite being a brilliant player (still a level above Grealish I say as I pop my tin hat on) Southgate seems to like a DM and two shuttling midfielders and then use the wide players to do all the attacking and creating.
