It seems every young player coming through the ranks get, understandably, lionised. Energetic? Yes. Capable of unlocking Premier League defences in Jack’s absence? I don’t think so. In the brief appearances he’s made, he’s nothing special. However, I’m not a Premier League manager trying to fill a Grealish size hole in the team.

However, I’m not a Premier League manager trying to fill a Grealish size hole in the team.That’s kind of where I am, although not quite as down on him. I’m hopeful he can develop into a good player, but as of yet I haven’t seen anything remarkable. That’s not writing him off, but I’m not seeing anything that’s making me think he has to start.
Not being as good as Jack Grealish is going to make it very hard to like any player we sign or bring through over the next 30 years.Lets face it, if he sticks around for the next few years, and I think he will, he'll be the greatest player to play for club.
Did well when he came on today. Gives us that bit of energy which Barkley isn't at the moment.
