Quote from: Toronto Villa on January 23, 2021, 10:37:44 PMDean Smith confirms Jack Grealish "had a tight hamstring" and the boss took him off knowing he's on four yellow cards. He was pleased with the clean sheet tonight; says his players over-played in the second half. Refused to comment on Morgan Sanson's impending arrival.So what was Jack sulking about?

The day a player is happy to be subbed, is the day that player should be sold to somebody else.Being unhappy is a fine thing being almost petulant and going on about it for 5 minutes is not. Jack is captain he had done his job so after being subbed at 10 minutes to go I don't understand his grumpiness.Does it really matter?

If anything I think the insane amount of space and time they gave us slowed us down, when we needed to quicken the play. Part of that is Barkley being rusty.Didn't feel without McGinn we turned over the ball as well in the final third so we were longer in our transitions to get Jack involved.Bloody Mings. Do the simple things.PositivesEasiest game of the season.Delighted for Ollie as he works so hard, thought he was behind the ball for the goal anyway.Konsa is immense, Mings is too when he doesn't think too much and our full backs are top draw.Marv did well and shows he can cover for Dougie. His distribution was fine, albeit never under any pressure.Felt we lacked a little bit of zip that McGinn brings and hopefully Morgan will add too.Very pleasing to watch aren't we?Definitely. They are a joy to watch at times. Although some of our fans found tonight was a tough watch apparently. I suppose anything less than Brazil circa1970 every game just isn't good enough for some. Each to their own I guess but people have such short memories. We've been served some utter dross in the last 10 years you'd think they would just enjoy the ride while they can?

5 minutes? Where do you get that from?

I expect better from our captain especially in the prevailing situation.
