[quote author=passitsideways Jack's the number 10 - his off-the-ball movement's fine, and he should be the one who benefits the most from Terry's ability to pass through the lines. Of course, the issue with him is what he does once he gets on it - his decision-making and speed of thought can be so rubbish.
For me Jack's main problem (apart from perhaps already thinking he's the finished article) is he's so slow. He never seems to be in full flight / mid run when he receives the ball. 99% of the time it's when he's stood still, which slows things down to a snails pace all the time. For me anyway
All of these comments are validBut I still maintain that the kid I saw emerge under Sherwood is a genuinely special talent
Grealish has the ability to hang onto the ball better than anyone else in the squad and to do something positive with it. He looked hampered last season in that the rest of the midfield were often too deep presumably concerned with their defensive roles. With what appears to be a much improved defence and some pace offered in Elmo' maybe we will see the midfield pushing on that bit more with some movement giving Grealish more space and options. That's what I hope to see anyway.
33 stitches in his lip but still wants to play this week according to Bruce. Fairplay.
