Was indeed a great goal, great run across the box before drilling home......well done Jack

Would like to see jack and Samir get some game time as the season progresses - both have that creative spark in them.

Personally I'd leave them out on loan.  I think playing week in, week out will develop them quicker than getting the odd cameo at Villa.

Nice to read that Carruthers has 'come of age' and Grealish scoring a cracker.  It'll be interesting to see how they react now as their confidence should be growing.

Agreed.  I'd let them see the season out where they are.  They'll come back stronger.

When I read he glided past five players I thought it was a Dalian/Messi mazy run from his own half rather than just running in a straight line past an entire back four! Shocking defending. Great finish, mind. Hopefully it will give him the confidence to kick-on.

Great to see Grealish running straight to his Dad to celebrate too. All the time spent taking him football training since he was 4 paid off

Does Grealish always play with his socks rolled down?

That's a real throwback, last player who I remember doing that was Manuel Rui Costa. And Steve Claridge.

Let's hope he's more like the former than the latter. He's usually compared to Chris Waddle.

The 3 on the edge of the box he sold a fantastic dummy too, all three raise a boot to block the shot and he just carries on his run into space, it's very subtle but it is a brilliant bit of skill to open the space.

I think Claridge was just going for the disheveled hobo look to be fair.

Our side is screaming out for someone to do what Ireland's doing for Stoke, which is annoying.

he's a wanker of the highest order. We gave him loads of opportunities. For a while he threatened to be the player we spunked all of that money on but the longer  it went on the more it became abundantly clear that he is a c***.

What, playing for a new contract? He'll stop caring once he gets it.
