The problem is that nowadays every player is judged on stats. Didn’t used to be that way. Though it’s a good way to separate those who actually watch games and those who just check the stats and player ratings afterwards
He's a good player. In a decade's time he will talked about the same way Ray Parlour is. Was a vital cog in a team, but was overshadowed by much better players. They even share being in and out of the England team.
Simon spot on here. The only problem i have is only yesterday he was claiming zaha could play for real madrid, which is definitely as if not more deluded than the belief grealish is worth 100m
Jack Grealish is in the same bracket of Ben Arfa, Lauren Robert type players that have the flashiness and the arrogance but don't have the commitment and the enduring talent to become a world class player. The difference with Jack is, he got bought by a serial title-winning team which has exposed just how ordinary he is when surrounded by world class talent. He was a big fish in a small pond at Villa. Was never a 100M player but hey, Gabby wearing Villa-tinted glasses at this point isn't even a shock
Grealish is a bang average player .... his most notable contribution for Man City is tracking back .... For a 100 million pound attacker , going into his 4th season at Man City that is not good enough ....if he wasn't English he would be slandered like the likes of Anthony.
I’d say his most notable contribution was being one of the most played players in a treble winning year. He isn’t a winger that’s fielded to score goals. Pep has basically used him as a wide midfielder who controls and slows the game down from wide areas. But most people don’t watch city games and just the stats afterwards so never mind
@@Gino565 if your great contribution is just appearance you are indeed a bang average player .... The likes of Bernardo Silva and actual midfielder playing out of position is tasked to control the pace of the game as well however still manages to score or assist at a much higher frequency and performs exceptionally well in the biggest of games ....Just imagine a non English winger that cost 100 million pounds ....game is to "win" freekicks and pass the ball backwards.... Grealish says he needs to contribute more but I guess you missed that part as well
You would too if you had to sit there listening to the nonsence Gabby comes out with. Didnt Grealish get like 3 goals and similar assists this season, and he’s genuinely calling him ‘world class’ 😂
JG is an outstanding attacking player. Would walk into ANY premiership squad and straight into at least 15/20 first XI teams. Great player to either start with or bring on in the second half of a match. Simple.
Gabby: "Jack's a lovely kid😂”😂. Stop calling him a kid!! Grealish is pushing 30!!!.. he should be a mature male and playing great football, which he isn't
We all think of him as a kid as we watched him from the age of 6...he is about to be a Dad and I think ppl will see what we saw many times in Jack when he dragged Villa back to the prem after being gutted at losing a play off final. I am looking forward to seeing him make it difficult for Pep to bring on Doko.
This is the problem with this show, instead of being unbiased they all have people they like and don't, grealish has been poor and he isn't anywhere near a 100 million player. He scored 3 goals in the league last year 🤣
I can't think of any player who has gotten kinder treatment from the media than Grealish. He's done nothing, but people act like he's this world class player because he's a fun lad everyone likes to talk to. He's a championship level player who has made all world wages. Enough of him
Funny that arguably the best manager of all time chose to have grealish as the starting LW in a treble winning team. But yeah sure, MinisterManDan Says he’s done nothing so I guess Pep was confused. Anyone that likes your comment is outing themselves as a non football watcher.
Gabby’s got an unusual pull with Grealish. Guy didn’t deserve a spot at the euros because he had a woeful season for a title winning side. I’m a big Liverpool fan and Harvey Elliott surpassed Jack with goals, assists with fewer minutes played. Am I gutted that Harvey didn’t go to the euros? No, because there were players there that deserved it more. Give it a rest gabby!
@@TristanSpowthose records are phony records. They say he created the most chances for an English player but when you watch the replays they are mostly two yard passes that led to shots from impossible angles. He almost never splits the defense with a difficult pass. He’s a good player and nothing more.
City know Grealish' best qualities are off the pitch especially marketing. He is the best in the squad at advertising new kits and photoshoots. Grealish needs to step it up this year on the field.
Why is gabby always asking for apology after you share your opinion? He did that with maguire. Apologies for sharing his opinion? Honestly that guy is something
Gabby trying to defend him because he is his mate. Grealish was wildly overrated by the English media... as usual with almost every English player. Somehow Pep and City fell into the building up by them and bought him, still baffles me. He is a good player, just as Jordan says, but he doesn't stand out against some of the top wingers or inside forwards in the world. Gabby is a clown
@@Batemann1980 Jack was one of the best dribblers in the league. He had a huge impact on the game. At City He just keeps in a very set position. He doesn't dribble anymore. He doesn't shoot anymore.

I don't particularly appreciate Grealish, but Simon is the same guy who says Zaha was fit for Real Madrid. So, his opinions are clearly not to be taken seriously...
No one doubting he is a good person and probably a good laugh but football wise he deserves all the stick he gets, hes been bang average sometimes worse since he left villa. He needs to leave city for the sake of his career
We're talking about the player quality but we have a manager in dean smith who is talking about who he is as a person...LOL! WHO SAID HE WAS A BAD PERSON! WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ON THE PITCH!
he needs to add numbers to his game.. i'd say he have to create more chances and assist, he have to be close to kdb assist numbers to be selected in the england team.
What do you mean, he did well in a team that won the treble. He scored scored 3 and assisted 3 in 34 games. That's terrible for a team that dominated the League. Gabby is just a massive hypocrite. I've heard Gabby absolutely slate players like Harry kane.
I’d put Jack Grealish in with guys like Steve Mcmanaman and Nicky Butt. National stars who had just enough about them to touch greatness, cult heroes who will always be remembered and respected, who had the talent to kick it with the big boys but ultimately, still the back up to the true elites of their time…
Every one goes on about that slipper.gate. but no body talks about the whole city squad ignoring that blind girl when receiving the medals. But Jack stopped and humbled those behind him in the queue for their medals
Why is Gabby on so much. Painful. Really painful. Talksport are really scrambling at the moment for decent pundits. How did they give him so much airtime during the euros. Ridiculous
Been waiting for someone with a sensible comment 👌grealish is going to come out on fire this season one bad season doesn’t make you that is coming from a gunner 👍and Simon is irrelevant idiot 🫶🏻
Pep spent 100m on him to be a creative force and metronome, and he was, for a team that won the treble If Grealish was Spanish he’d have 100+ caps. The giveaway that someone doesn’t have a clue is being surprised at him tracking back under Pep. He tracked back for Villa.
They'll never give Jack a break. It makes good copy because football supporters either love the lad or they want to slag him; the lack of apathy surrounding him rakes in the views, clicks and shares. Make 'em eat their words, lad. C'mon, Jack! Get in there!
I’m gonna go ahead and say something that might be completely ridiculous, or may end up being 100% correct… who knows 🤷🏾♂️. If Villa remain in either the Europa league or Champions league over the next two seasons, and KEEP Unai Emery, Jack Grealish will come back to Aston Villa. Simon is not wrong - you don’t want to take a step down. However, in this case, because Man City has done so much and won so much, there aren’t too many places you could go that wouldn’t be a step down. I dare say that any other top teams right now would be, at best, a lateral move.
I agree with Simon, since joining City he has become a very predictable player probably because Pep gives him no freedom. Doku offers a lot more going forward.
The facts of the matter are this, is jack grealish the best fit for man city under guardiola in comparison to other players in his position?No. On the flip side, could Phil Foden, jeremy doku, riyad mahrez or bernardo silva have been in that Villa team in the championship and single handedly got them promoted and then single handedly saved them from going down? Also No. So far that stand point, judge the player as you see fit ...
Let’s get it right jack is extremely talented and is a top player everyone forgets how highly he was rated when he was at Villa, unfortunately the system he plays in doesn’t highlight his game the same way it did at Villa
Prior to city, he never played under pressure at villa. He could do whatever he wanted, other players worked hard for him. At city, you have to be Messi or at least KDB level talent to be afforded that type of freedom. There are at least 5 better players than Grealish at man city so he’s never going to get that freedom
@@ladi278 to say he never had pressure at Villa is just untrue, he carried the team on his back and was relied upon every single game to create or win the game
@@kaneharris3971 it’s not pressure at the same level when you are not expected to win every game. Let me put it this way, if jack played poorly for 5 games in a row at villa back then, he’d still be guaranteed to start. Not at city. You’ll be on the bench. I think it’s wild that some think pep coached the flair out of him and that pep tells him not to dribble. The issue is he’s not explosive from a standing start so he can’t get past his man. That’s why he always passes it back. Jeremy doku on the other hand consistently dribbles past his man and pep always praises him for dribbling. Maybe if Jack had a free role to move anywhere on the pitch he sees fit, maybe he’d look better. But there are at least 3 better players at city (foden, KDB, Bernardo) who would get that free role before jack
@@ladi278 So the pressure of being the guy that needs to win you the game, every single time, is less pressure than being in a team that wins every game without you anyway? That’s just not true. There’s pressure on him to perform and try keep his place but that doesn’t compare to the pressure of if he didn’t perform at Villa then odds are you’d lose the game. Now He plays in a system that doesn’t highlight the a lot of the qualities he was praised for at Villa but pep knows how good he is at maintaining possession and uses jack in a very specific role that’s why he’s criticised now. And jack never relied on being explosive from a standing start, he’s never been blessed with pace. Jack came deep to pick up the ball and would then turn and run, he used footwork and technique to get passed defenders never pace just pure technique, I agree if he had a free role he’d look a lot better but yeah he won’t get that role in the city team.
And this is why people need to realise that stats are only a part of the story. I’m a season ticket holder at cit and have seen nearly every good and bad moment in the flesh since 1998 so I’m qualified to speak when I say that the majority of fans, despite them statistics, would rather have Jack than Raheem. Why, because Raz was all about himself. Happy for himself, sad for himself. It was never about the team for him. With Jack, it’s the polar opposite. He will do everything he can to do what the team needs of him. Doesn’t always get it right, is patchy in the respect, but never stops trying to be his best for the team. Raz also played in a team that for significant periods didn’t have a striker. Kun was still there but injured a lot and pep player often without a 9. What that meant was the goals and assists were much more spread around the team, hence sterling scoring a lot, more often than not tap ins from a few yards out. Jack is playing in a team that has the world’s most lethal striker. So the ask of him is different. He could get more assists but he is often a big part of a move that ends up in a goal but he doesn’t get a ‘stat’ for that. Most fans felt almost glad when Raz left for Chelsea and predicted he would struggle outside of the city team, that’s exactly what happened. Most of us love Jack and would be gutted to see him leave. Stats don’t tell the whole story no matter or you dress them up
Nailed it! If you actually watch a full 90 and use the eye test, there's no denying Grealish's skill, technical ability, creativity, and ability to draw multiple players out of position. There aren't many players in today's game that offer what Jack does. Especially now where kids are forced to systems and shunned for showing creativity and taking risks. We saw first hand last season how badly they missed him out on the left when he was injured and were forced to play Doku week in, week out. The people who downplay his overall talent as a footballer have an agenda against him or don't know ball. You can't sit there with a straight face and say you're a football fan if you don't like Grealish.
@@alone2break Grealish is at his best when he's got the freedom to roam and is able to run into open space. Having him hug the touchline and stay out wide is handicapping what he can offer to the attack. Especially now that KDBs legs are gone, they need someone to step in to be that creative spark and has the engine to run up and down the pitch.
Give jack a break . His levels haven't been there but if he is shown the beleaf he will shine again . I have seen him go past 5 players for villa that's what he has . So don't rite him off yet .
Come on Gabby, I'm a villa fan and I know grealish is a piss head and was not playing last season. Pep will not give two hoots about his career as he's not Spanish.
Haters gonna hate. He had more freedom at Villa but made sacfrices to get into City's XI and win trophies under Pep's systeam. Wtf else do these arm chair analysts want??? His been nothing but a team player and takes the bench when Pep wants to play others with zero complaints.
Stats don't tell a story. People now would say Giggs wasn't incredible because his stats weren't 30 goals a season. People add to a game in other ways.
Gabby is TOO biased to Villa and former Villa players, or anybody who is a fellow Brummie. lool. Some of the criticism was warranted though. he did break lockdown when telling people a few days before to stay safe! Tbf, Jack's indiscretions aren't that bad in the grand scheme. Hardly Johnson levels.
Why have we on occasions in men’s football mostly gay females commenting on a game but when it’s a female ( stroke) ladies game it’s very rare a male is brought onto the pitch or studio to commentate
Pep coached greslishes dribbling out of him . Under pep you cant lose the ball . If you do you get yelled at so eventually you stop dribbling. Doku will have the same problem in two years
Before the treble, City's proudest moment under Pep was the 'Centurion' season (2017/18). In the Centurion season, City averaged 71% possession, with Sterling playing 33 league games and contributing 18 goals/11 assists. In the treble-winning year (2022/23), City averaged 65% possession, with Grealish playing 28 league games and contributing 5 goals/7 assists. Sterling played in a City side that kept the ball better than the treble-winning side, had a record 32 league wins and amassed 100 points...and Sterling demonstrably contributed more to that Centurion side than Grealish did to the treble-winning one.
Yeah. I don’t mind Jack but he absolutely needs to increase his production as even Pep has come out in press conferences saying he wants more from Jack. Hope he’s able to step it up this season

At city, you have to be Messi or at least KDB level talent to be afforded that type of freedom. There are at least 5 better players than Grealish at man city so he’s never going to get that freedom
@@ladi278 to say he never had pressure at Villa is just untrue, he carried the team on his back and was relied upon every single game to create or win the game
@@kaneharris3971 it’s not pressure at the same level when you are not expected to win every game. Let me put it this way, if jack played poorly for 5 games in a row at villa back then, he’d still be guaranteed to start. Not at city. You’ll be on the bench.
I think it’s wild that some think pep coached the flair out of him and that pep tells him not to dribble. The issue is he’s not explosive from a standing start so he can’t get past his man. That’s why he always passes it back. Jeremy doku on the other hand consistently dribbles past his man and pep always praises him for dribbling.
Maybe if Jack had a free role to move anywhere on the pitch he sees fit, maybe he’d look better. But there are at least 3 better players at city (foden, KDB, Bernardo) who would get that free role before jack
@@ladi278 So the pressure of being the guy that needs to win you the game, every single time, is less pressure than being in a team that wins every game without you anyway? That’s just not true.
There’s pressure on him to perform and try keep his place but that doesn’t compare to the pressure of if he didn’t perform at Villa then odds are you’d lose the game.
Now He plays in a system that doesn’t highlight the a lot of the qualities he was praised for at Villa but pep knows how good he is at maintaining possession and uses jack in a very specific role that’s why he’s criticised now.
And jack never relied on being explosive from a standing start, he’s never been blessed with pace. Jack came deep to pick up the ball and would then turn and run, he used footwork and technique to get passed defenders never pace just pure technique, I agree if he had a free role he’d look a lot better but yeah he won’t get that role in the city team.
Gobby sticking up for his Villa mate 🙄
And this is why people need to realise that stats are only a part of the story. I’m a season ticket holder at cit and have seen nearly every good and bad moment in the flesh since 1998 so I’m qualified to speak when I say that the majority of fans, despite them statistics, would rather have Jack than Raheem. Why, because Raz was all about himself. Happy for himself, sad for himself. It was never about the team for him. With Jack, it’s the polar opposite. He will do everything he can to do what the team needs of him. Doesn’t always get it right, is patchy in the respect, but never stops trying to be his best for the team. Raz also played in a team that for significant periods didn’t have a striker. Kun was still there but injured a lot and pep player often without a 9. What that meant was the goals and assists were much more spread around the team, hence sterling scoring a lot, more often than not tap ins from a few yards out. Jack is playing in a team that has the world’s most lethal striker. So the ask of him is different. He could get more assists but he is often a big part of a move that ends up in a goal but he doesn’t get a ‘stat’ for that. Most fans felt almost glad when Raz left for Chelsea and predicted he would struggle outside of the city team, that’s exactly what happened. Most of us love Jack and would be gutted to see him leave. Stats don’t tell the whole story no matter or you dress them up
😂
You should've written a book for Stockport.
Nailed it! If you actually watch a full 90 and use the eye test, there's no denying Grealish's skill, technical ability, creativity, and ability to draw multiple players out of position. There aren't many players in today's game that offer what Jack does. Especially now where kids are forced to systems and shunned for showing creativity and taking risks. We saw first hand last season how badly they missed him out on the left when he was injured and were forced to play Doku week in, week out. The people who downplay his overall talent as a footballer have an agenda against him or don't know ball. You can't sit there with a straight face and say you're a football fan if you don't like Grealish.
i want grealish to play in the middle as kdb rotation.. leave the wing to doku, bobb , bernardo and savio
@@alone2break Grealish is at his best when he's got the freedom to roam and is able to run into open space. Having him hug the touchline and stay out wide is handicapping what he can offer to the attack. Especially now that KDBs legs are gone, they need someone to step in to be that creative spark and has the engine to run up and down the pitch.
Grealish would awesome for a Fulham but he is a squad player at city
Fact v emotion
Give jack a break . His levels haven't been there but if he is shown the beleaf he will shine again . I have seen him go past 5 players for villa that's what he has . So don't rite him off yet .
Jumbo Juggs? Not me mate.
Simon says “I judge him on the here and now” but also judges him for actions when he was 17/18 🤔🤷♂️😂
Simon jordan 100% right
Grealish coulda been the new ‘Agbonlahor’ if he’d of stayed at Villa.
Rumour has it, he still cries himself to sleep each night
Fact has it he won everything at city 😂 if you're hearing crying sounds probably coming from you.
I was taking a pop at Gabby, not Grealish 😂
Did you know Grealish got a huge attractive offer from Saudi team called: Al Cohol 😛
Come on Gabby, I'm a villa fan and I know grealish is a piss head and was not playing last season. Pep will not give two hoots about his career as he's not Spanish.
Should have never left Villa as it's ruined him as the creative, exciting player he was but I guess he has won some 🏆*s so he will be happy.
Sir Simon Jordan = Top Lad Proper Clobber
Still waiting for Pep to play jack as a free 8 in the left side, he's gonna cook there
Haters gonna hate. He had more freedom at Villa but made sacfrices to get into City's XI and win trophies under Pep's systeam. Wtf else do these arm chair analysts want??? His been nothing but a team player and takes the bench when Pep wants to play others with zero complaints.
Grealish had a worse season than rashford but Gabby still defends him 😅
Stats don't tell a story. People now would say Giggs wasn't incredible because his stats weren't 30 goals a season.
People add to a game in other ways.
Well, in a sport where goals literally win games, stats for attacking players do tell at least part of the season.
Stop yapping giggs did score goals, beat his man and get assists. Im sorry but jack has not got more than 15 goals in three season at man city .
Jack is 💩 done nothing since playing for City
Welcome back Simon
Who cares if he’s a good person it’s not about that no one else gets that treatment
Can't take gabby seriously
Grealish is just a good player no special effects
Are the media too heavy on Grealish?
Proceeds on to the debate 🤣
Gabby is TOO biased to Villa and former Villa players, or anybody who is a fellow Brummie. lool. Some of the criticism was warranted though. he did break lockdown when telling people a few days before to stay safe! Tbf, Jack's indiscretions aren't that bad in the grand scheme. Hardly Johnson levels.
Im struggling to think of any truelly world class player in the Prem.
De Bruyne
Rodri
Alisson
Thats it for me.
Unfair treatment? He cost more than Pogba and hasn't even produced 1/10th of what Pogba did and gets nowhere near the same criticism 😂
SHOCK!!!
Why have we on occasions in men’s football mostly gay females commenting on a game but when it’s a female ( stroke) ladies game it’s very rare a male is brought onto the pitch or studio to commentate
Anyone that comes from Villa Gabby will always defend…
Pep coached greslishes dribbling out of him . Under pep you cant lose the ball . If you do you get yelled at so eventually you stop dribbling. Doku will have the same problem in two years
Gabby trolls Antony but he always has a good word for his alcoholic mate
If he would stop flopping about trying to get a free kick he might get more respect. He is not someone kids should look up to
Before the treble, City's proudest moment under Pep was the 'Centurion' season (2017/18).
In the Centurion season, City averaged 71% possession, with Sterling playing 33 league games and contributing 18 goals/11 assists.
In the treble-winning year (2022/23), City averaged 65% possession, with Grealish playing 28 league games and contributing 5 goals/7 assists.
Sterling played in a City side that kept the ball better than the treble-winning side, had a record 32 league wins and amassed 100 points...and Sterling demonstrably contributed more to that Centurion side than Grealish did to the treble-winning one.
Yeah. I don’t mind Jack but he absolutely needs to increase his production as even Pep has come out in press conferences saying he wants more from Jack. Hope he’s able to step it up this season
Disgraced club.
