"I'm Not Grealish's Biggest Fan!" ❌😨 Simon & Souness | Episode Ten

Capitano798 has been saying this for years. Why has no one been listening?

[@thomcrill2884]

Bizzare hit piece on Grealish. Obviously never watched him week in week out for Villa- he was unbelievably good. His actions against Birmingham when he was attacked was inspiring for younger fans. Jack Grealish at Villa definitely was a maverick/magician.

[@annemariegutteridge4696]

Truth

[@vidiveniviciDCLXVI]

Maverick is "an unorthodox or independent-minded person." End of story. Love what Souness said about half time talks. Makes total sense from a Psychological point of view. Lets players reflect for as long as you can after half time, let them workout themselves what they did wrong, this is part of how the brain grows. Then impart what you think, keep it short and never shout, quieter you speak, more people absorb what you say and then just give them a few mins to collect themselves before they go out.

[@freddiefreeman4119]

Props to Simon and Graeme for what they said about John Robertson “Now that’s a player” young fans won’t know. On Man City, Simon talking from a business point of view not actually from a “Fair Play” point of view. Maybe that’s why the Premier League changed the name of the regulations, because it’s certainly not being done fairly. It penalises a club that’s promoted to the Premier league because its owner has tried to invest and keep the club in the league. Basically making the league a closed shop, and the top 4 or 5 an exclusive club. That’s the real reason the ace I’ve eats of Clough and Taylor will never be repeated, it’s no longer possible to rise from modest backgrounds to the top. The top clubs used to have a few of the best players in the country, they now have a team full of the best players in the world.

H Redknapp said many years ago, you have to know what you're going to do with the ball before you receive it. Don't see Grealish having that ability.

[@Matthew-ot1zf]

Good point

[@rodhitmanhart1]

He literally pulls about 3 defenders to him every time he gets the ball in the final third. Seriously watch him next time he plays. It'll show you he knows exactly what he's doing and why Pep puts so much trust in him in big games. Having said all that Doku's arrival is showing us that Grealish does need to work on some of his game.

[@spark556]

[@davidmann-fz3me]

Have been watching Villa for over 50 years. JG easily one of the most gifted/talented ballers I’ve ever seen. Has been strangled at MC and unable to move freely and use the skills he used at VP in the same way. Have him back tomorrow. Trouble we’ve always had is Aston Villa are not a fashionable club. Had JG been at London club etc there would have been more coverage of him in a positive light. He’s never been a diver - he has a knack of drawing dopey tacklers then nipping the ball away as their foot/leg/body comes in “Thank you very much, I’ll have that foul…..again.” As far as Souness is concerned it’s just lazy punditry combined with my previous comment about Villa not being fashionable. I remember Souness saying (when JG was at Villa) that he thought JG being continuously fouled was due to his ‘lack of vision’. Do me a favour! Since then, Souness probably thinks he has to back up what he said then and is not professional enough to admit he might be wrong. It’s been tough being a Villa fan over the last 50 years - apart from a couple of purple patches we have been average to poor as a football club on and off the pitch, in other words, I’m not being biased just ‘cause JG was a Villian, I’ve simply been able to recognise (unfortunately only on one hand) when Villa have produced a gem. Thank you for reading this far, if you have!

[@funkymoped537]

Grealish was brilliant for Villa. Almost single-handedly dragged them out of the Championship and then kept them in the EPL. He is suffering from exactly what they discuss re Owen’s opinions. He has been robotised to fit into a system and it stifles his natural game.

[@annemariegutteridge4696]

Agree. Even Knotts County feels the same about him during that loan spell. I am sad for him as an unfiltered transparant person who lives and plays (used to play) from his heart to be so restricted now

[@simonpeyton-n3h]

i think grealish has improved massively as a player,hes a cog in a well oiled machine,the way he can recieve the ball on the half turn and shield and keep it then move it on,or drop the shoulder and go past someone hes the perfect pep player,when he was at Villa he was relied upon to score and assist or they lost,hes just less selfish now and part of something bigger,one week or year i suppose graeme hypes up billy gilmour just for being regularly able to recieve the pass then find someone in the same jersey,grealish very rarely gives up possesion and when u watch him he regularly comes inside like hes gonna dribble or shoot then plays the reverse pass to a teamate on the run into the box it rarely goes wrong

I don't mind a maverick. The issue with Grealish is his lack of professionalism. After winning with City I'm sure a few players had a drink or two. Grealish though went on a bender lasting few days. His teammates even had to hold him to prevent him falling off the celebration bus. He's going to become another Gazza who never realises his full potential.

[@UlfEriksen-c4r]

Grealish seems like a really great person. As a footballer he looks like a midfielder to me. He lacks speed and power to be an attacker.

[@straightouttacornwall]

Villa fan here and Grealish is GREAT at what he does. He can hold the ball high up the wing and rarely loses position and is great at inducing fouls. The rest of the game is not Jacks way of playing.

[@jaym2062]

Alot of people forget, he was only put on the left wing at Villa to fill a vacant position, Bolaise left and Villa had no cover. PREVIOUSLY he was playing a 10 role in midfield and that was his preferred position. It's just shame that the left wing position seems to be the defacto option for him and Pep doesn't allow him to drift in to the centre (like Villa did) but completely understandable with the midfielders at city have.

[@paulf6973]

Cantona was a maverick, but he backed it up with goals, assists and success. He was a maverick personality, but a team player. The difference with Grealish is the lack of end product. He's picked for 'winning' free kicks and penalties

Grealish was great at Villa, he's not a player that excels in a system. He has strengths, dribbling, balance and flair that are uncommon these days. Pep isnt going to play him in the same role that Smith did at Villa - he doesnt need to. Grealish is similar to Gascoigne this doesn't work at city a team full of stars but worked well at Villa were he was capable of taking the game by the scruff off the neck against the weaker teams in the prem, he also has the ability to rise when the pressures on a rare talent, he can win games on his own.
