Yes indeed. There has been an undercurrent building, a narrative that is seeking to show his signing as an expensive mistake. Like The Big Orange was for JoMU. I would like to see some more end product on terms of goals for the lad and assists, but overall he is trying hard to adapt to Pep's instructions and is doing ok :thumbup:

Pep gave him a rest in our last game and I think he needed it. He is working and running much harder for us, but he will get used to it.

Another good article on Jack Grealish.

Good find and absolutely a very balanced, fair & decent assessment. It remains early days in his journey under Guardiola but both his comments & the stats are encouraging.

I especially picked up on the 'decoy' reference. Being willing to make the sacrifice of movement be and positioning which attract opponents and create space for team mates to exploit is, IMO, an underated quality but one which cam contribute enormously to the overall success of the team. In essence it is Team v Ego and we all know which one his coach values more.

Thanks for posting R :tophat:

Nothing to do with Flash, Villa took the money and bought players in who have not performed, assuming Smith had a say of who came in, he has no excuses.

Quite so. But it's the not so subtle insertion of JG into all aspects of the sections of that piece which is so sneaky. It sows the seeds for Villa fans to latch onto and morons at other clubs to pick up to justify their booing of a player whose actions have nothing to do with them. This is the same narrative that got exploited by the dippers and their media friends to taint Sterling with after he had the temerity to leave their club.

add to that the fact that they changed the refs attitude to fouls and now Jack can’t buy a foul for City or is it because he plays for City, add to that even though he was offered more money, there comes a time like Walker when money is not the object it’s showing the grandkids what you won when you played not who was top of the fouled league at the end of your career.
