Total bollocks as per from Keane. Another who proves that just because you were a great player doesn't mean you know anything about the game. Terrible manager, crap pundit who relies on being "controversial", awful human who I doubt has ever had a single moment in his life where he's experienced joy.
Does not shock me at all that he'd find it weird that Jack Grealish, a born Villa fan would be enjoying playing for Villa after 3 months. Can't say for certain but I'd hazard a guess that most who'd agree with him here would be complaining about Jack sulking if he played looking pissed off.
The guy is a total arse. From memory he had a disastrous spell as assistant under Lambert which only lasted a couple of months before he was sacked (or “resigned”) & in that time he tried to block Grealish’s development so he obviously has an issue with him personally, and probably most modern players to be fair based on other comments which is probably a major reason why his coaching career failed.
Agree there is nothing special about his punditry, he just criticises everything. It’s not “saying it as it is” either, it’s slagging everything off, nothing remotely interesting or clever about it. Again, if that’s his attitude no wonder he never progressed on the management side.
Jack is clearly a player who thrives off his enjoyment of the game and just because he isn’t miserable doesn’t mean he doesn’t care, probably the opposite in fact. I’d also say having a positive attitude is absolutely crucial because if they’re all terrified or nervous of being on the pitch or don’t want to be there then psychologically they’ve lost the game before it’s even began which is even worse.
