As a Leicester fan I’ve got a better perspective of this subject, because I got to see the same thing happen to Mahrez in the first couple of years of his City tenure. The “accusation” that Pep brutally hammers out any sense of individuality from a player, before they’re able to put on a shirt for him, so they can fit his system is 100% bang on. In Mahrez’ entire city career, I saw maybe three flashes of the player he used to be at Leicester, before Pep robotised him. Mahrez was a relentless worker, a man who would literally spend hours in a 1v1 match vs Kanté after a full day of training was finished just to constantly improve , so it was natural that he would eventually feature in Pep’s squad; But he wasn’t Mahrez, he wasn’t special, not like he used to be. Pep is a football dictator, he can be this way because he always gets results. Pep wouldn’t hesitate to get rid of players like Cancelo, when they threaten his kingdom. There is only one way to progress your career under Pep, follow his laws, do as he is says; No more, no less. It’s pretty clear from watching clips of Grealish that he has some sort of adhd-like issues. I believe this was a key component of what original made Grealish special, unfortunately I think it’s also the same thing that makes it harder for Grealish to adapt to a completely robotic way of playing. I feel like if Grealish could’ve moved to Liverpool instead, he would’ve been given the freedom to move and operate in a similar way to what Szoboszlai is doing now. A playstyle that would’ve complimented his talents and utilised the threat he already possessed, instead of warping him into a shadow of his previous self. I’m hoping that players like Grealish and Kalvin Phillips, become examples of the flaws in Pep’s way of thinking, that show that it’s more important to get a player that works for you, instead of trying to force a player to change to fit for you.

[@Flooba]

Mahrez was better for City than he was for Leicester and he was incredible at Leicester?? He has more goals in less games for City and he won ALOT of trophies. What are you on about???? Its testament to Mahrez's football ability that he's played at the top in multiple systems. Im a UTD fan btw :P

[@jeremyTheAppalachian]

City fan here, been waching week in week out and have probably seen 95% of Jacks contributions to the team since joining. He was originally meant to be a Bernardo Silva replacement in the no.8 roll. But due to squad balance issues with wingers leaving and a stacked midfield, he was moved to playing LW only. He struggled in his first season, but since then we play like a completely different team when he is not starting consistently. Most of City's play is through Grealish down the LW, and he is instructed to hug the line and be the focal point from which we overload on the left to isolate the more traditional winger on the right. He is essentially picking up the same positions as LWB, which is why he isnt on the scoresheet as much even when playing well. During the treble winning season, he created more big chances in the CL than any other player EVER. Since City has brought in tradtional wingers, we are seeing him in a more free roll at the no.8 position and similarly to his Villa days (which even back then he wasnt putting up crazy numbers for G/A).I will aknowledge he has struggled with fitness which has effected his consistency since then, but from what ive seen, most critizism is coming from people outside of the City fanbase who dont actually watch him week in week out and don't understand what he brings to the team

Good is Saka for Arsenal, who is extremely consistent, good is Moisés Caicedo who is helping transform Chelsea. Grealish for £100 mil, needs to be spoken about because he has not been a success at City. The fans like him because of his personality and his looks more than his contribution.

[@lotuseater7247]

It was obvious when he signed, I have not been suprised at all. The photo of him in his new haircut was symbolic of that... it was like a punk rock singer getting a job in a law firm.

7:21 you an beating the penguinz0 of Football KZbin allegations.

[@renaultmeganesuperleggera]

This video goes so well with the video from HITC Sevens where he talked about the players who were "ruined" by Pep. After what had happened (I mean everything from the winning streaks to hundreds of charges), I expected that the team will at least try to limit the damages in title fight after losing Rodri but that clearly didn't happen lol. I've also heard that MC is a team with a good depth of players 😂 it's so funny when a player have a domino effect on a team

[@Godrii]

I'd never forget about his performance in Treble season One of the major mistake made by Pep is Grealish midf He never played him there, against Forest Recently he was the reason City won that game

[@sunblanket2925]

Leroy Sane, Raheem Sterling, Cesc Fabregas, Thierry Henry, Erling Haaland, Frank Ribery & Pedro all sucked under Pep? English media will protect the English boys ofcourse. You seriously blaming a genius for the failure of Grealish? Jack Grealish was never a low-block defence dribbler, a locksmith. He is suited for a mid-table team like Brighton or Villa where opponents play with no fear there for leaving space for Jack to dribble on. Jack has failed to play at an elite team and an elite manager. Jack is an expensive British quota player😂. Why is Jack Grealish the only player that has been ruined by "Pep's system"? Riyadh Mahrez's best season was under Pep, how come Doku has license to dribble?

[@Kevin-mx1vi]

City didn't need him but they were happy to pay silly money to stop anyone else getting him.

[@Shokan-mm8sj]

The thing about Grealish is that he was never the player to score or assist that much, even in Villa. Guardiola wanted him for his amazing ball retaining skills, having a "decoy" player who can maintain possession in the final third while the team reorganizes itself, a lot of goals in the treble season came because of this. Guardiola didn't need his wingers to be a goalscoring threat and if you notice the players with the best stats were Haaland and KDB, Man City played like that, the wingers are not fowards really, more like "side midfielders". Granted he should still score more goals, that's an aspect to criticize in every player, but he was good for 22/23 in what Guardiola needed him to do, which didn't grant a 100m price but still.

[@anwarkhalladi]

What did you think of that Hannibal performance v Watford a few days ago

[@craftingcameron8636]

Hey Vizeh as a Villa fan im just happy for the money we got from selling him. We have done much better since he left!

[@Kanbei11]

Part of the reason why Grealish is disliked by villa fans is that he played up the boyhood club and loyalty angle shortly before leaving and saying it was his dream to join Man City.

[@r4h4al]

Good video mate. I think she should go back to Villa and be the main man there again, although the Villa fans might not want him back which would be a problem. Merry Christmas.

[@ZuluCantona]

Loved Grealish at Villa.. he was my favorite

I really hope a top team can snap up Savinho early in his career, could see him thriving at clubs like Juventus, Milan, Atletico or Dortmund

Jack definitely will watch dis

[@tomasstojkovski1152]

I wont forgot about that 2023 ucl grealish campaign

[@Daryl0601]

Grealish is incredible he doesnt get the g/a but he was probably one of the biggest reasons we won the treble

[@brianmcsherry1338]

It’s crazy how this goes under the radar he’s getting away with it! 100m player by the way but sure let’s talk about rashford! Even Anthony cost less and has more g+a than grealish since he came! Don’t care if he won the treble he’s treble and needs called out!

[@neilmartin7776]

Speaking as a Villa fan, Morgan Rogers at Villa now is what Jack Grealish was at Villa - exciting, creative and, above all, free to express himself. The thing is at Villa, Grealish was the main man in an otherwise very limited team whereas Rogers is lucky to be playing at Villa at a time when they have much better talent surrounding him. At City, Grealish is just one of many great talents that each, by themselves, could be the vital match winner for most other teams in the league. What i mean is, Grealish has to be a more team-focused player at City. That comes at the expense of his natural flair and creativity, but it does make him a more rounded player whose main role is to carry the ball into dangerous areas and get fouled (not dive, although he gets accused of that), bringing more pressure from City on the opposition. When City are winning, this is fine - but with City struggling at the moment, a genuine creative player is what they need and unfortunately, this is precisely what's been drummed out of him under Pep.

[@DeKuTx]

ea when rashford scores 10 goals in a season: thats too bad we will downgrade him by -4 overall. while grealish only gets -1 by scoring 3 goals

[@BJackson.]

He is like Peoe Fraudiolas favourite toy on the pitch

[@GalayethZen]

Pep loves Grealish. His role is to control the pace of the game, slow things down and control possession. And in big games he gives the added bonus of riling up the other team. This can be a blessing or a curse depending on how they respond though.

[@dondamon4669]

Surely people realise by now English players are finished by 26 because they are multi millionaires and have come from working class backgrounds and want to enjoy their twenties and cannot handle the pressure and most don't even like football or the grown up man fans shouting at them

[@scramharoldinho]

the thing with grealish is that he is made to be what he is not,he a nasri expected to be a nani a hazard a pedro a wilian a gareth bale especially with his price tag,but people forget that he plays in a quite robotic system which sucks away all his freedom of creativity he can rarely decide to go from the wing go past two players and smash it top bins like the grealish of villa could do,because in the pep system once you got past one or cant and the others seem compact you go backward for another cycle of minutes of possession untilyou ever find the most perfect little window to give it to haaland or foden to bag,no wonder some of his rare bright recent games with city and england he played in the hole with freedom of roaming which is closer to his natural position yes his partying and so on can be an issue,but the main one was always misprofiling him into a hazard and co who could all bag 10+

[@abelvera5456]

The whole team needs to be held accountable. Without Rodri and his clutch goals/tackles/pace. They look like a mid table team with elite talent.

[@jayyyzzz_99]

Even as a Birmingham fan, Jack Grealish was special at villa. The freedom he had is what made him peform to his best ability. Pep is a tactical mastermind, that won’t allow the freedom and wants Jack to play a certain role. I don’t think it’s down to him, it’s pep that is holding him back from his own personal achievements.

[@priyamprasad624]

Grealish has some antony level stats now, a new mr aura 🔥

[@israeldph3831]

"In my office, NOW!!" ahh title 😂

[@giancarlotorres3520]

I remember watching on the game against feyernood when he messed up on an assist or shot I don’t remember, he was laughing and smiling about it because they were up. I just thought to myself that hopefully he didn’t regret that and here we are 🧐

[@jimcarrey2014]

He isn't better than 3 goals and 3 assists. This is who he is.

[@9VK7]

I accept your apology

[@mahmoudghoneim8004]

People who refer to Pep being the reason have to remember Messi and how he turned the world over with his performance and he was playing under Pep , when you have the passion you shine whoever is your manager.

[@petersansgaming8783]

Messi is a very extreme example

[@mahmoudghoneim8004]

@petersansgaming8783 I mentioned the most obvious, but the whole team was a force to be reckoned with.

[@RossG99]

HITC sevens ahh video title

[@mikemurphy8996]

Love the Canadian flag mate. You now have a fan from Toronto. As to the video, your right, he’s not held up to the transfer fee. I think he played well a couple years ago with some playmaking but now he doesn’t seem to fit the system. I could seem him being sold in the near future.

[@jr_xtreme8940]

At some point u have to question the players ambition as well. Being that promising and willing to ride the bench for so long is telling...especially when Pep isn't known to being opposed to stopping players from leaving his squad

[@mcruz4571]

Jack's best time in terms of goals at Aston Villa was 8 goals, so why do people expect goals from Jack, doesn't make sense, he is not a goalscorer, never was.😂

[@roboi2241]

I remember players like Shearer, Le Tissier and Hoddle as individually great players regardless of how few trophies they won. Many others too. So many players went to Real Madrid because 'you don't refuse Madrid when they come calling' apparently and became a lesser cog in that machine or like Bale won loads of trophies but I'm left feeling his individual legacy should have been more than being just another of the support roles in the Ronaldo era. Grealish will likely be remembered as a bit part player in what will probably become the 'tainted' Pep City era if the book is thrown at City, which is a shame.

[@HouseOfFunQM]

He's told by Pep to get the ball, run straight, and wait to get fouled. Then go down like a bag of flour.

[@shaneodwyer6132]

For all the grief Anthony gets he can at least point to a crucial equaliser vs Liverpool in the cup, a vital goal. What has Grealish done in comparison?

[@chrisr6710]

Looking at his stats, he wasn’t exactly banging them in for Villa either, ok, his assists were slightly higher than they have been for the last couple of Man City seasons, but not by much. I’m not sure what the massive price tag/expectation is here. He’s always been bang average.

[@OliTaylor]

You’re right, but Jack was orchestrating the team at Villa, everything came through Jack for the most part in the final 3rd. Whereas at city Pep has him receiving wide switch passes and then cutting a ball back to the full backs, very robotic.

[@harryanders9024]

If he was playing for Manchester United this would’ve been made years ago

[@dr3036]

[@ChrisMartin-sg7bf]

[@zecronmoe7747]

if you think he's been good at villa because he's "aesthetically pleasing" with his plays. his stats for villa says otherwise, even when they were in the championship
