DazBob Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Trouble with Grealish is he's the boy who cries wolf too often. There'll be the odd ref, like last night, who just gets pissed off with his constant theatrics. That said, he's a cracking player and I'd be delighted if his theatrics win us a penalty in the World Cup final next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rudy Posted September 9, 2021 Members Share Posted September 9, 2021 (edited) He does get booted up and down the field because he just doesn’t lose the ball. There are two types of player who get the same treatment Messi & Neymar one gets kicked, gets up, carries on, sticks it in the back of the net the other is Neymar. I understand players going down but when you are going down too often and getting free kicks, you slow down the rhythm and intensity of the game, constantly giving the opposition time to reset and rest, then you have to rely on winning a game from a set piece or a moment of magic. You can’t always do that. Mental strength is so important when you’re a player like Grealish. Sterling was guilty of that as was Bale a good coach will get that out of them.

bolton va va Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Apart from any of our players obv , Grealish is the best player i've seen at the Reebok in the last 10 years. ( The Boro winger, Traore ??, would be next best, but i don't think he's as consistent. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robinson played his first league game I think. I felt sorry for him, but at least we avoided the prospect of Andy Taylor against Traore. Grealish, on that snowy night when Alf scored the only goal, played well but nothing we couldn't deal with, one of our few clean sheets and wins that season.

Grealish smashed the bar with a 25 yard volley out of nothing. That was the moment when I changed my mind about him and realized that he was a good ‘un.

To repeat I'm not questioning it, just surprised its not on and a good excuse to re-watch us beating Villa with some players that wouldn't get in today's team.

Man U couldn't live with him from what I saw last week, but he lacked the final ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Criminal that it’s not on the highlights ~ it was at the away end. He was the only one to turn up for them, the rest were wishing they were back home with their slippers on. It was nice to get one over that fat, rubber nosed DMB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put £100 on us to win before kick off when the snow fell. A great leveller. Think I won just under 5 ton. Kerching! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
