Grealish sometimes makes post-golf craze Bale seem passionate about football. He looks like he is still hungover from his UCL celebrations from 2023. He just looks dead on the pitch, Aston Villa Grealish looked so alive, even when he didnt score he was always animated, trying stuff. Just shows how lifeless Pep's system is. No wonder Palmer wasn’t getting game time under him, thank god he didn’t. Or we would've seen Palmer turned into the generic Pep winger turned Attacking Midfielder passing bot that Foden looks like right now.
@@Ballotubie You can't possibly watch Aston Villa Grealish and current City Grealish and not blame Pep's system. Guy looks like he is half dead on the pitch. When was the last time you saw grealish try something outrageous? Taking on a defender, relying on skill instead of passing it back?
@@chubbygrizzly8316 Took on matty cash plenty of times at the weekend. Took several shots with one heading to the opposite corner flag👍The guy had one decent season in lockdown where he massively overperformed his xG and xA
Sane, Sterling, peak Bernado Silva and KDB were able to express themselves on the pitch to a large degree. Truly great players are a able to find that balance between playing ‘ their’ game and following the system.
I mean ,if you actually watched both of them before coming to City and United respectively ,you would know that Anthony plays the same way he did at Ajax ,he just plays against way better players ,Grealish straight up plays a different way of football since Guardiola just made him a crossing robot ,he doesnt dribble ,doesnt try to run and get past defenders .
@ players lose their flair when they join City, he is just a good example of it. Even as a United fan I think haaland his creative abilities when he was at dortmund
Villa put the clause into the contract and city paid it. Kane city. Grealish was pretty much a spurs player until the ownership change and they didn’t need the money anymore. That’s why the new contract was there
@@BiggestBirdonMars He's doing it now with Grealish, Haaland, Savinho, Foden, Bernardo, Nunes...Basically if the player isn't insanely talented as the bunch you said, he sacrifices their talent. He destroying Nunes who is a great box to box midfielder.
When i think of man city forwards I LITERALLY Forget about jack grealish. White English players never get criticized like foreigners or black players that get bought for a big fee
Bs if he is not scoring atleast he should get assist...ffs the team is funneling for Haaland and he has less assists than Van Dijk the past two seasons and has the same assist as him this season...accept it he is overrated but it's been under the radar because of the 4peat
@ShoeArmyNTFC boring for the opposite teams. If you watch your own team being the protagonist almost all the game, even if you lose (Pep is the second most winner coach of all time), you wont be bored you know!
Can we just agree that no matter what the era, if you're setting a major transfer fee record like Grealish did, you should be in a yearly debate for the Ballon D'or, or at least for your club's player of the season? Please? I'm tired of saying the same thing: I should be able to see in the stat sheet why someone paid 100 million pounds for you if you're an attacking player. If it makes me sound like a casual, I don't care. That is my philosophy, and I feel like it is sound.
In City's perspective, Pep wanted him to fulfil a certain role that didn't mean just goals and assists but by opening up space for other players. It sounds crazy but this is what football has become now
@@nicholastricarico2957nah this is perfectly sound logic to me. When Man U paid 90mil for pogba, at least he was the golden boy and definitely one of the best midfielders in the world at the time. Maddison was just half the price and 10x more effective. You wouldn’t be far off to assume the sheikhs did this just to launder money 🤷♂️
John McGinn has more champions league goals than Jack Grealish is wild to me. That Jack has 11 goals and 12 assists in his time at City, and John has 10 goals and 14 assists in the same time is even wilder - he cost 2.3m 😳
Sometimes I wonder how his career would look if he kept with Ireland, I wonder if he would've grew into more of a talismanic figure for club and country
4:01 that’s because when you’re winning negativity isn’t talked about as much whereas being at a club that is underperforming standards like Rashford nvm the size of the club which makes it 10x more is always going to happen. Grealish has only been talked about more since city have underperformed.
He’s coming to the end of his career at 29. That final season at Villa will be how I remember him, just astonishing. Man City wasn’t right for him, the only place I can think where he might get his mojo back is Villa Park but not sure now after last week’s behaviour. Villa don’t need him as much as he needs them
@@liamjohnson4221 fans were on his back all game and he threw 3 fingers up to signify league trophies I imagine. Also clattered McGinn and got into a little shove off with Martinez at end of game
The fact is, there's many players like him who are good in small teams.But they get exposed in bigger teams.He was just very overrated by media and not good enough.Pep bought him during a time when they had too many midfielders.He just wasn't the guy he needed.
Just found your channel, subscribed, binge watching begins now, appreciate the insight into the EFL, 56 year old American who started watching end of 2022- 2023 season. Thanks for sharing yourself.
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.
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
@@FloobaMahrez winning a league title with Leicester trumps anything he did at moneychester city. That was unprecedented and Mahrez himself played a huge part in the title win. In terms of goals and assists, of course he would have more at Man City. They are a better team with better players, that score more goals full stop. So your counter-arguments are flawed.
@@sillygoofy-y7khe was longer at Man City than Leicester. He had two big seasons at Leicester in the EPl and one in The championship. The stakes were higher at Man City . He had far more competition at city . Give the man some credit
Ruin footballers like Rodri stones Bernardo foden sane etc. Cole Palmer just wasn’t better than prime mahrez Bernardo Silva and foden on the right wing they were just better at that time. But it ironic now that Palmer left to Chelsea’s he’s better than any of city wingers rn
@@pablogonzalez3712 Sorry buddy, but what exactly are you trying to say when you say "not when we’re the treble"? I understand that English may not be your first language?
I like these style of vids tbh. An honest take, no script ofc there is post editing, there has to be but vids like these have more natural flow than the scripted ones
Saying they dint buy him for his goals and assists sounds ridiculous, i am glad someone mentioned the fact that united n liverpool players get slated whilst this has been swept under carpet
Grealish was incredible at Villa because he was the main man. He could make 10 mistakes in a game and it wouldn’t matter cuz everything was around him. Pep has took every bit of creativity out of him, and all he does is slow things down and pass backwards. It’s sad to watch as a Villa fan 😢
Football was ALWAYS about tactics and systems . That is why big name youths like Henry and Bergkamp failed in the Serie A but made up for it in European competitions for Juve and Inter respectively.
Pep is a genius, he gets players to buy into a system. And they win, a lot. But for jack, and to some degree, Doku, their creativity is hampered and they can't adapt
Your joking right? Surely you 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
@@NouserID2 The most technically gifted player to come out of Villa in my lifetime (Season ticket holder for over 15 years). I really thought he would conqour the world.
@@NouserID2Do you understand what potential and excitement mean... I guess people have short-term memory, Sancho, Green, Foden, were or are players with enormous potential and great talent, it wasn't just "the English media" any "futbol" fan could see the potential of these players.
The funniest thing was how the media tried to make him the figurehead for the treble season when he barely did much. I always saw those articles and chuckled.
Maybe he isn't the one who scores the most goals, or doesn't get the most assists. But we can all agree that in terms of passing the ball backwards after staring the right back in the eye, he's the best of the best 🔥🔥
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
Finally someone who gets it. As another city fan who actually watches the games, I love Grealish. The media claiming him to be another Antony is disrespectful. Grealish can offer so much whether as a midfielder or winger other than g/a
I'm a city fan who has watched most of Jack's games. I understand what he does, however I am one who thinks he is decent, but not good or great and £100 million should be for great. Great is Rodri, who literally has carried this team for 3+ seasons. Great is Mo Salah, who carries Liverpool. 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. In years to come fans will remember Rodri, Silva, KDB and legends like Yaya, but not Grealish
I am also in the " it's pep's fault" camp. Grealish is more of a baller who needs freedom to do his thing but is pressed into a rigid role by Pep, because that is his thing. Truly wasted at City.
As an American fan since 2016 (Bournemouth Supporter) I have a limited amount of time watching the game, but I'm convinced the system is far more important than individual effort. With that said, wouldn't Pep be to blame for not using him to his strengths?
Jack grealish isn't at the level where city would change their set up for him City did it for haaland cuz now they make signing that will exclusively create goal scoring chances for him back then they signed players with high productivity
@@diegoalbuja1988watch his dortmund games he would take players on shoot from outside the box and had so much flair now he is basically just a poacher and extremely good at it but still
villa fan here, i loved him (obviously) and was quite salty when he left considering the project ahead of us at the time. as of right now im not so salty as we are in a much better position, partially thanks to the funds from the transfer i boo'd him at villa park on his first time coming back with city. its really not that deep, he can give and take it pretty well. nobody is threatening anyone and its all good fun in my eyes but i must say, its so sad that we will never see "villa grealish" again. that flair and unpredictability is forever gone
100 Million is only because he is English and came from another Prem Club. If he was for Example German and from a lower Level Bundesliga team (lets say for Example Freiburg), he wouldnt have costed more than 30 Mil. Im not surprised he isnt nearly worth that amount
Todays game against Villa told me what I known for the last 3 years Jack at the highest level is not an winger he’s not beating his man. Villa gave him acres of space to play with he couldn’t do anything with it .
as a villa fan I don't hate Grealish and I don't feel like most villa fans do, even speaking to people i sit by as a season ticket holder there. but he gets booed when he plays us because of how he is, the same reason a lot of us loved him at villa for his constant diving and winning fouls makes it annoying for him to be on the opposition team. point in case when we played man city in the 21-22 season away from home at the etihad he dived in the box and won a penalty against us and then proceeded to celebrate that when they were already 2-1 up at this point towards the end of the game. it just wasn't necessary.
Not buying that Pep only tells Grealish to pass back. Doku always dribbles and has 21 g/a for City in the same period and same position that Grealish has 0, yet Jack is considered way better, why?
Honestly yall shud be shitting on pep if anything. Pep is ALL about possession and keeping the system. Guardiola is said to be a perfectionist. And if he's anything like the perfectionist I grew up with. He don't want greenish flying off the wing and shooting or dribbling past three. I think this is all a mix of a lack of confidence maybe. Maybe he's losing some of the fight and passion. But it's definitely got to do with peps system. Pep has absolutely no compassion for anyone unless u prove yourself like KDB.
Villa fans booing the player that singlehandedly kept them in the Prem and raised 100M is hilarious. But then, they did also throw a relegation party for a team nowhere near them in the table or the country... A strange bunch are those Brummies...
Imagine your best academy player of recent years comes out and says what a joy it is to play for United (Newcastle United in this case) and that they are determined to help them earn success only to move to Manchester City and claim it was their dream to do so. For my part (I'm a villa fan) I don't blame him for the move but it's his actions around it that annoyed me
@Kanbei11 yeah of course I can understand where you're coming from. I didn't realise he had previously pledged his future to Villa. It's just one of those moves where you can't really begrudge him when comparing where the two teams were at the time. But the emotion of it all would hurt. Sadly, we've not created an academy player of that quality in a long time... Elliot Amderson was promising but we had to sell him for FFP 🙄
Aston villa grealish : able to drift all around the top of the pitch when he pleases to create Man city: has a set position and has to stay kissing the left touchline the whole game His strength have been ignored but I’ll say man city was never a great fit for his strengths
As a Villa fan, I was sad but could completely understand why he left for City. I honestly still love the guy, but it's hard to disagree that he's just going to be remembered as a passenger on one of the greatest trains that the Premier League has ever seen. I'm happy for him that he's had success, but surely deep down, he yearns for something more authentic. But at the end of the day, he's making a boatload of cash for doing sweet FA. Why would he want to change that?
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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
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+
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.
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 🧐
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.
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.
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
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.😂
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.
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?
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.
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.
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

@@BiggestBirdonMarsdont botter to refute stupid people my man
@@BiggestBirdonMars He's doing it now with Grealish, Haaland, Savinho, Foden, Bernardo, Nunes...Basically if the player isn't insanely talented as the bunch you said, he sacrifices their talent. He destroying Nunes who is a great box to box midfielder.
When i think of man city forwards I LITERALLY Forget about jack grealish. White English players never get criticized like foreigners or black players that get bought for a big fee
0 goals in whole calendar year is just insane for an attacker
But this conversation HAS to be about Guardiola. Pep killed his fire to make Grealish a part of the machine.
Bs if he is not scoring atleast he should get assist...ffs the team is funneling for Haaland and he has less assists than Van Dijk the past two seasons and has the same assist as him this season...accept it he is overrated but it's been under the radar because of the 4peat
Pep the champions league winner and 4 times premier champion in the last 5 years!!?? Go home bro youre drunk 😄
@@diegoalbuja1988 what the commenter was trying to say is peps style is efficient but boring
@ShoeArmyNTFC boring for the opposite teams. If you watch your own team being the protagonist almost all the game, even if you lose (Pep is the second most winner coach of all time), you wont be bored you know!
Big big lie Doku has 21 g/a for City and always dribbles never passes back, but Grealish has 0 goals yet he is considered way better how?

@@Vizeh What's the point of living anymore? T_T
Give us some consistency United!
@@BarryMckockinahthey are very consistent… at being inconsistent
Can we just agree that no matter what the era, if you're setting a major transfer fee record like Grealish did, you should be in a yearly debate for the Ballon D'or, or at least for your club's player of the season? Please? I'm tired of saying the same thing: I should be able to see in the stat sheet why someone paid 100 million pounds for you if you're an attacking player. If it makes me sound like a casual, I don't care. That is my philosophy, and I feel like it is sound.
In City's perspective, Pep wanted him to fulfil a certain role that didn't mean just goals and assists but by opening up space for other players. It sounds crazy but this is what football has become now
@@Vizeh Then don't pay £100 million for something you could have gotten easily for £20 million, particularly with City's scouting department.
No. You pay for potential and its hilarious to say you need to be best evey year
@@johannespitkamaki1369 If you are paying £100 million for a player, yes, I expect them to be around top 5 at their position.
@@nicholastricarico2957nah this is perfectly sound logic to me. When Man U paid 90mil for pogba, at least he was the golden boy and definitely one of the best midfielders in the world at the time. Maddison was just half the price and 10x more effective. You wouldn’t be far off to assume the sheikhs did this just to launder money 🤷♂️
John McGinn has more champions league goals than Jack Grealish is wild to me. That Jack has 11 goals and 12 assists in his time at City, and John has 10 goals and 14 assists in the same time is even wilder - he cost 2.3m 😳
Sometimes I wonder how his career would look if he kept with Ireland, I wonder if he would've grew into more of a talismanic figure for club and country
To be a talisman you gotta care, bro doesn’t give a shit about Ireland
His career at Ireland would have nothing to do club wise. Certainly wouldn’t have cost 100 million
4:01 that’s because when you’re winning negativity isn’t talked about as much whereas being at a club that is underperforming standards like Rashford nvm the size of the club which makes it 10x more is always going to happen. Grealish has only been talked about more since city have underperformed.

He’s coming to the end of his career at 29. That final season at Villa will be how I remember him, just astonishing. Man City wasn’t right for him, the only place I can think where he might get his mojo back is Villa Park but not sure now after last week’s behaviour. Villa don’t need him as much as he needs them
What did he do at villa park ?

The fact is, there's many players like him who are good in small teams.But they get exposed in bigger teams.He was just very overrated by media and not good enough.Pep bought him during a time when they had too many midfielders.He just wasn't the guy he needed.

Love these videos honestly makes me feel more involved in the game much love from Montana
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.
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
@@FloobaMahrez winning a league title with Leicester trumps anything he did at moneychester city. That was unprecedented and Mahrez himself played a huge part in the title win. In terms of goals and assists, of course he would have more at Man City. They are a better team with better players, that score more goals full stop. So your counter-arguments are flawed.
@@sillygoofy-y7khe was longer at Man City than Leicester. He had two big seasons at Leicester in the EPl and one in The championship. The stakes were higher at Man City . He had far more competition at city . Give the man some credit
Maybe it's not pep but it's grealish. Maybe he couldn't make the step up like a lot of big transfers
Cole Palmer low key ESCAPED Pep and his ability to ruin footballers
Ruin footballers like Rodri stones Bernardo foden sane etc. Cole Palmer just wasn’t better than prime mahrez Bernardo Silva and foden on the right wing they were just better at that time. But it ironic now that Palmer left to Chelsea’s he’s better than any of city wingers rn

Cheers mate!
Saying they dint buy him for his goals and assists sounds ridiculous, i am glad someone mentioned the fact that united n liverpool players get slated whilst this has been swept under carpet
Because every serious football fan knows that he doing what Pep makes him do, if he started playing carefree he'd just be subbed
Grealish was incredible at Villa because he was the main man. He could make 10 mistakes in a game and it wouldn’t matter cuz everything was around him. Pep has took every bit of creativity out of him, and all he does is slow things down and pass backwards. It’s sad to watch as a Villa fan 😢
Football was ALWAYS about tactics and systems . That is why big name youths like Henry and Bergkamp failed in the Serie A but made up for it in European competitions for Juve and Inter respectively.
Pep is a genius, he gets players to buy into a system. And they win, a lot. But for jack, and to some degree, Doku, their creativity is hampered and they can't adapt
I will never forgive Pep for ruining the most exciting English player of a generation
🤣🤣🤣 they said that about Rashford Lingard Sancho Maguire Greenwood and Foden aswell typical sheep listening to British media over hype players
Your joking right? Surely you 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

I never rated Jack's hair.
The funniest thing was how the media tried to make him the figurehead for the treble season when he barely did much.
I always saw those articles and chuckled.
Maybe he isn't the one who scores the most goals, or doesn't get the most assists. But we can all agree that in terms of passing the ball backwards after staring the right back in the eye, he's the best of the best 🔥🔥
The only way to revive his career is to go back to villa
I agree
Jack wouldn't be in Villa's best XI.
I can see him going to Italy
I dont want him back tbh
He is set up for life already, he needs no revival
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
THISSS
Finally someone who gets it. As another city fan who actually watches the games, I love Grealish. The media claiming him to be another Antony is disrespectful. Grealish can offer so much whether as a midfielder or winger other than g/a
I'm a city fan who has watched most of Jack's games. I understand what he does, however I am one who thinks he is decent, but not good or great and £100 million should be for great. Great is Rodri, who literally has carried this team for 3+ seasons. Great is Mo Salah, who carries Liverpool. 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. In years to come fans will remember Rodri, Silva, KDB and legends like Yaya, but not Grealish
This is definitely one of Pep's burner accounts
I am also in the " it's pep's fault" camp. Grealish is more of a baller who needs freedom to do his thing but is pressed into a rigid role by Pep, because that is his thing. Truly wasted at City.
As an American fan since 2016 (Bournemouth Supporter) I have a limited amount of time watching the game, but I'm convinced the system is far more important than individual effort. With that said, wouldn't Pep be to blame for not using him to his strengths?
No one players is better than the team and the system he'd say, hence why Haaland has changed drastically since going there
Jack grealish isn't at the level where city would change their set up for him
City did it for haaland cuz now they make signing that will exclusively create goal scoring chances for him back then they signed players with high productivity
@Vizeh Halaand? The golden boot winner with City already? OK bro
@@Vizeharguably turned haaland from one of the most exciting and explosive forwards in Europe into a lanky aguero

i boo'd him at villa park on his first time coming back with city. its really not that deep, he can give and take it pretty well. nobody is threatening anyone and its all good fun in my eyes

@@faridbang5542 honestly no mate. big salary for someone who we dont need

100 Million is only because he is English and came from another Prem Club.
If he was for Example German and from a lower Level Bundesliga team (lets say for Example Freiburg), he wouldnt have costed more than 30 Mil.
Im not surprised he isnt nearly worth that amount
Todays game against Villa told me what I known for the last 3 years Jack at the highest level is not an winger he’s not beating his man. Villa gave him acres of space to play with he couldn’t do anything with it .
as a villa fan I don't hate Grealish and I don't feel like most villa fans do, even speaking to people i sit by as a season ticket holder there. but he gets booed when he plays us because of how he is, the same reason a lot of us loved him at villa for his constant diving and winning fouls makes it annoying for him to be on the opposition team. point in case when we played man city in the 21-22 season away from home at the etihad he dived in the box and won a penalty against us and then proceeded to celebrate that when they were already 2-1 up at this point towards the end of the game. it just wasn't necessary.
Not buying that Pep only tells Grealish to pass back. Doku always dribbles and has 21 g/a for City in the same period and same position that Grealish has 0, yet Jack is considered way better, why?
I always thought he was over hyped before he even come to city
Unpopular opinion : pep destroyed the career of grealish
His trajectory started declining under Pep so ye.
And many others
Treble
@@OffspawnGames he contributed nothing to it. You could have replaced him with Antony and City still would have won it.
Treble but okay buddy
Honestly yall shud be shitting on pep if anything.
Pep is ALL about possession and keeping the system. Guardiola is said to be a perfectionist. And if he's anything like the perfectionist I grew up with. He don't want greenish flying off the wing and shooting or dribbling past three.
I think this is all a mix of a lack of confidence maybe. Maybe he's losing some of the fight and passion.
But it's definitely got to do with peps system. Pep has absolutely no compassion for anyone unless u prove yourself like KDB.
Villa fans booing the player that singlehandedly kept them in the Prem and raised 100M is hilarious.
But then, they did also throw a relegation party for a team nowhere near them in the table or the country...
A strange bunch are those Brummies...
Imagine your best academy player of recent years comes out and says what a joy it is to play for United (Newcastle United in this case) and that they are determined to help them earn success only to move to Manchester City and claim it was their dream to do so.
For my part (I'm a villa fan) I don't blame him for the move but it's his actions around it that annoyed me
@Kanbei11 yeah of course I can understand where you're coming from. I didn't realise he had previously pledged his future to Villa. It's just one of those moves where you can't really begrudge him when comparing where the two teams were at the time. But the emotion of it all would hurt.
Sadly, we've not created an academy player of that quality in a long time... Elliot Amderson was promising but we had to sell him for FFP 🙄
Thr Irish Guy really has the last laugh in the end after all
Big ups from Cape Town - hope your Christmas 🎄 is a good one 👍
Aston villa grealish : able to drift all around the top of the pitch when he pleases to create
Man city: has a set position and has to stay kissing the left touchline the whole game
His strength have been ignored but I’ll say man city was never a great fit for his strengths
Great fit for his bank balance though; why do you go to work?
Just realized Vizeh is like zealandism without the absolute tomfoolery
As a Villa fan, I was sad but could completely understand why he left for City. I honestly still love the guy, but it's hard to disagree that he's just going to be remembered as a passenger on one of the greatest trains that the Premier League has ever seen. I'm happy for him that he's had success, but surely deep down, he yearns for something more authentic. But at the end of the day, he's making a boatload of cash for doing sweet FA. Why would he want to change that?
3:42 Jack can go swivel but yes, obviously, we'd have him back in a heartbeat. The duality of man
7:21 you an beating the penguinz0 of Football RUclips allegations.
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
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
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?
City didn't need him but they were happy to pay silly money to stop anyone else getting him.
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.
What did you think of that Hannibal performance v Watford a few days ago
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!
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.
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.
Loved Grealish at Villa.. he was my favorite
Grealish and Foden, aka The Chuckle Brothers.
Oh Jackie boy, the dives, the dives are appalling

Jack definitely will watch dis
I wont forgot about that 2023 ucl grealish campaign
Grealish is incredible he doesnt get the g/a but he was probably one of the biggest reasons we won the treble
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!
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.
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
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.
He is like Peoe Fraudiolas favourite toy on the pitch
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
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+
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.
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.
Grealish has some antony level stats now, a new mr aura 🔥
He isn't better than 3 goals and 3 assists. This is who he is.
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 🧐
"In my office, NOW!!" ahh title 😂
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.
Messi is a very extreme example
@petersansgaming8783 I mentioned the most obvious, but the whole team was a force to be reckoned with.
I accept your apology
HITC sevens ahh video title
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.
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
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.😂
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.
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?
He's told by Pep to get the ball, run straight, and wait to get fouled. Then go down like a bag of flour.
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.
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.
If he was playing for Manchester United this would’ve been made years ago
4:23 8 of the players played for Mam United 😂
Loving the jersey mate
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
City are less talked about 😂 rent free in 19 clubs for the best part of a decade.
