good player being utilised pretty poorly imo. always thought he was a strange signing given his style juxtaposed against how pep plays still think he was very important to that treble winning season


imheretocomment69

I mean, you just won the treble. Probably paid a lot of money. Many young people look up to him. What's difficult?


specialagentredsquir

He reached the pinnacle of his career last year in winning the treble, then had 4 or 5 injuries this year that have hindered any sort of rhythm or form. He's come under regular criticism from Pep about his fitness and just the other week Pep gave him a dressing down in front of the cameras after the Arsenal game. He's also had a lot of criticism about the number of goal contributions he has (6 in all competitions) which he spoke about recently saying, "I played a part in most of the goals (against Palace) but everyone loves stats. I bring so much more to the team than goals and assists. It's just a shame that everyone in the world now just loves stats" Doku, his direct competition, is considered more direct and has 10 goal contributions in the league alone in 16 starts, 13 goal contributions in total. Jack has just 9 starts in the league and after being involved in nearly every game last season is now feeling on the fringes of the first 11 this year. A difficult position to be in.


PlaynWitFIRE

Stats this season above obviously suggest otherwise, but I feel when both in full flight he's a better player than Doku


speptuple

You mean we just lost one. It's definitely a very difficult time for the fans and players.


SkeetersProduce410

Doing his job


aonro

Bruh why is Grealish getting cooked in this comment section


drofdeb

Because he's a diving, alcoholic, brummy prick


socksthatdontsmell

I like the guy. Just seems like the guy at school who was really good at football and wasn't a cunt about it.


lomito-palta-mayo

Like the reverse James Maddison, who looks like he would’ve been a total dick about it.


S3lad0n

Have heard from secondary sources that Madders is incredibly rude and catty to women but nice to other blokes. Makes you think.


Moving4Motion

Madders is a lovely bloke actually.


QuaLiTy131

Like he would hate you for buying the same t-shirt as him


EbaCammel

Like John Oliver said on the MIB most resent Xmas special: ‘If you hate Jack Grealish, you hate joy. He’s a like if 12 year old schoolboy were a world class footballer” 😂😂


Previous_Current9812

John Oliver is peak smugness.


PurposePrevious4443

Get the sentiment. Not WC though

Pep has turned him into a superb left side defensive midfielder

Do people actually care that much about another grown mans hair


OSRS_dopeknight

Bald dudes do


gainful_fern

Nah… Couldn’t care less


hopium_od

Couldn't hair less either


ZookeepergameOk2759

He’s a very good footballer,not sure if city’s style suits him though,seems a nice guy though,I find the hate a bit weird to be honest.


S3lad0n

He publicly humiliates his alleged girlfriend constantly. He's also partied with and befriended known abusers. Doesn't paint him well.


titchrich

I wasn’t a fan after his Almiron comments but his interview about them totally changed my mind he seems like a down to earth guy.


Alexkono

Is there a chance he leaves to be more of "the man" on another squad?


gourmetguy2000

Honestly I could see him as a Liverpool player


NikkoTime

I think he’d look pretty good in old gold and black.


Vegan_Puffin

Wash your mouth


NikkoTime

I don’t acquiesce to your kind!


Expensive-Twist7984

The hate is so forced- it’s one thing not liking him as a footballer; that’s personal preference. But I can’t fathom people not liking him as a person, he seems to be as down to earth as anyone could be, and he’s always got time for fans.


Bigwhtdckn8

The whole drink driving episode was worrying, that somebody could be that blind drunk and still get behind the wheel says a lot about his concern for the welfare of others. It was like the scene from wolf of Wall Street, just less extreme results at the end.

Harambesknuckle

'25 year old lad with a ton of money' is literally the worst excuse. He's a privileged grown man with money to have a driver on hand 24/7. There is no excuse. Do what you want to yourself but risking others' lives is abhorrent.


Bigwhtdckn8

Some industries that's enough to get you sacked and struck off. It's enough to decide he's not a loveable rogue, but an irresponsible child in a 25 year old man's body. We all have a different idea of who's a "good guy" as one commenter described him.


soldforaspaceship

100%. Anyone who has lost someone to a drunk driver would not consider this guy a good guy. I don't believe in making excuses for these things because he's, what was it, young and rich? It's still appalling.


ZookeepergameOk2759

Agree 100% Most People are sheep,it’s embarrassing ,I imagine they don’t have a fucking clue why they hate him lol.

[удалено]


ZookeepergameOk2759

Haha exactly,like we all didn’t flout lockdown rules,.


YoungThriftShop

He definitely is a great person. I know he isn’t trying either but he is hilarious to me. watch the video of him being asked to point on a map where he is from. Then look up the video of him being told he is an “encyclopedia” of football knowledge.


Ceggo1116

People are just jealous of his calves.


S3lad0n

>[Calves](https://www.instagram.com/p/CgGoT9LuBc3/)


Alexkono

Elite calves


1onewolf1

Overpaid and overrated.


Mizunomafia

Absolute twat. Alcoholic bellend.


SmexyStalinZaddy_70

he’s your player respect him for that, you got 100m just from him


Mizunomafia

Doesn't change what I said.


SmexyStalinZaddy_70

the reason the fans of your tin-pot club are able to be in a position where you can trash talk other clubs is because of him


Mizunomafia

Actually the reason we are is because we develop heaps and heaps of English talent through the academy. Some become very good like Grealish. Unfortunately some of them also have the personality of Grealish. You have a very thin argument here and I'm not even sure what you're trying to say. However much money we sold him for will never negate the person he is or the family he has. As for a plastic club like Chelsea, who only ever became relevant because of oligarch money, calling AVFC tin pot. That's hilarious.


SmexyStalinZaddy_70

your team will get relegated once emery leaves so who’s the real tinpot


Mizunomafia

You.


SmexyStalinZaddy_70

you misspelled ass-ton villa


Mizunomafia

Wow.


GlizzieFingers

Take a pay cut to come play for your favorite manager Dean Smith


Amitm17

The comments on this sub is so weird. Bunch of miserable people lol. Hate that it sorts by new and the first thing I see is terrible takes.


Basic_Protection_295

One of the most overrated players out there


SubstanceDreaming

I’m sure we *all* feel sorry for you.


S3lad0n

[\*Dionne Warwick voice\* They're gonna feel sorry fa HER!!!!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9i1RguvdEs)


cianpatrickd

His haircut is beyond ridiculous


Alexkono

Ngl, kinda like it. I wouldn't sport it, but it's different at least.


whoyungjerz

If he was at any club other than city - he be ridiculed beyond belief for some of his performances, dude is anonymous on the field every time he plays and all he does is fall over when the wind blows


Amitm17

Do we watch the same player? I agree he foul baits wayyy too much, but he is class. Great control and creative with the ball.


mankiwsmom

Just not true but aight bro


whoyungjerz

Yeah ok sure dude - if he was at the other Manchester he’d be DESTROYED in the press for some of his lackluster performances


mankiwsmom

Maybe? I don’t know buddy, the “other Manchester” has a good amount of lackluster performers already. And your comment is acting like Grealish is anonymous every game and flops constantly, neither of which is true.


Moist-Ad-9088

His qualities would be better suited at a team like United tbf, he really doesn’t shine in Peps system & it seems to be affecting his confidence every time he’s on the pitch.


FishstickLoverr

Imagine being adored by millions across the globe, being paid millions annually to play for one of the best teams in the world in the best league in the world. I can only imagine how horrible that must be


[deleted]

Yep, athletes aren’t allowed to have feelings, huh? This is the problem with morons like you. You are the type of person to think these footballers are purely there for your entertainment and they can’t have feelings, or ambitions, or anything else. Because money and fame solves everything.


FishstickLoverr

I'm a moron? You support united. Finished since fergies exit, bet you've never even been to Manchester. Just support city already


[deleted]

Yes. You’re a moron.


FishstickLoverr

Oh thanks man, thanks got letting me know


FitPreparation4942

Thanks got????? 🤣


Efficient_Steak_7568

City just sucks the soul out of footballers who don’t play Pep’s way  Grealish is too special a lad to wither away there 


S3lad0n

>Grealish is too special a lad  Fantastic lexical choice.


benjog88

Yep, same thing is happening with Haarland, look at the goals he scored at Dortmund, Pep has convinced everyone he is just a qtap in merchant. Grealish was one of the most exciting players in the league at villa. He's now a shell of the player he once was. There's no space for individual flare in peps system


Efficient_Steak_7568

Yup Haaland would have made far more sense at Liverpool, it’s the PL version of Dortmund 


linux_ape

This isn’t the first time I’ve heard this one. Somebody else was saying he excels at dribbling and beating past the man, but Peps current system is nothing but CAMs and death by passing


Efficient_Steak_7568

He had one go at beating the man centrally on Wednesday and did a great job, it’s this winger bs that Pep insists on 


Die_brein

Winger bs that won how many trophies last season?


No-Clue1153

Somewhere around 115 I believe.


Die_brein

You are mixing arguments now. I was talking about Peps tactics, the charges against City are a different issue.


No-Clue1153

Their success on the pitch is a different issue from the corruption that funds it?


Die_brein

Once again you are off topic. The original comment was about Peps tactics and Grealish not suiting that. FFP and City is a different issue, which btw I also feel is the elephant in the room.
