I think he'll turn it around, and hopefully in the run in like Doug in his first season. That said, as hopeful as I am, there's no way he looks like a 30 million quid player. Still, Grealish is coming back in the summer, tail between his legs, half the price we paid, and on a pay cut. Mark my words...Right...more Prosecco for me.

He’s had glimmers of fantastic moments in our better games and shown some really clever traits. He’s quite tenacious which I like too.Back to what Ads said though, we really should show more patience. He’s come into a side which had a massive hangover after Grealish, a really shit pre-season and then our manager being sacked. I reckon a decent pre-season this summer and next year he will superb.Our form has had a massive up turn lately and he’s helped with that.
I know it's become a bit of a cliché, but I do think some are still expecting Emi to be Grealish, and I don't think that's fair or accurate. Grealish is basically a unique player, an attacking winger with the ball-retention stats of Sergio Busquets. Emi isn't that - he's a classic no. 10, albeit one who harries and harrasses off the ball.In other words, he's as Argentinian as Jorge Luis Borges riding a horse through the pampas eating a steak with a glass of malbec. It comes with the style that he's going to lose the ball a bit, trying things that don't come off. He's also going to get goals and assists (that bit of play yesterday to set up Ings was fucking gorgeous). He's getting better every week with the new structure around him and I'm hopeful about his chances of succeeding again.
