Does he really drag villa out of the Ipswich when they're losing? No and he does sound short passes and gets praised for it. Ball retention I get that but he does such needless passes sometimes and is a c..k Villa won 42 points in the 24 games when Grealish started this season, and got 13 from 14 when he didn't, so I'd say he did drag them forwards when they needed him. Also, only Kane, Fernandes and De Bruyne made more assists and they all played more minutes and with better players alongside them, so he must have played some pretty incisive passes. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sure, he's a Kn0b, but so are many footy players. As are quite a few non players. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hoddle was in the squad so you could shoehorn him in, bit early for Waddle. You could also have Terry McDermot,Β Viv Anderson, Trevor Brooking and Ray Clemence asΒ alternatives.........

It's a shame, we all knew about the stories of his 'antics' off the pitch when he first joined us but he seemed to improve and mature, even more so when he moved to the Foxes.. Β But sadly it seems he's started to slip back to his old ways Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
