Will be a fucking slog watching us without him thought I'll tell you that much.

not sure how often we can play the tactic of give him the ball and let him try and dig a cross out either.

Hang on, what have i missed??

braps usual happy, positive demeanor has finally been burst by a completely unexpected and horrific 2-1 pumping in the derby?

It’s a fair point.

We are too reliant on him so will need to find other ways to create changes as teams will ultimately find a way to stop him.

I would like to see him in the middle and Iliman on the left at some point.

Said the same in the previous game. It became predictable and even though his quality still gets some chances, teams will get on it. I'd try him as a 10 to see how he can switch left or right with passes or even though the middle or score. Ndiaye can go left or the stork, with Dibling on the right

I dared to make a comment about him yesterday and again got my legs chopped off. Teams already know put two men on him to stop him playing. Would like to see him in the middle.

It'd be interesting to know at the end of the season what percentage of fouls he got given as a free kick for us Vs City.

Felt yesterday there were several he'd have got playing for City or a Liverpool player would have got that he didn't.

That's not what you said though, you said he was average, past his best, one trick pony and had no pace, completely different to what you're now claiming to have said. The only factually correct thing you said yesterday was he made you look stupid. Previous posts don't self destruct after 24 hours.

Need to get Dibling going to up the contribution IMO... cup game is ideal this week.

Im not sure we're strong enough in the middle for him to play the 10, we're asking our 10 to do lots and lots of work. Jack could probably do it, but is it the best use of his energy?

Spell check completely please

The inevitable incoming ban that will be heading the way of Jack Grealish for daring to speak up against the cartel.

Don't know what you mean.

Play your best player in their best position. Keep him on the left.

Yeah we'll have to find a way to balance "get jack Grealish as many touches as possible" (a rule I endorse) and "don't become so predictable".

Would be handy if we could get people around him, and get him the ball in different situations as well tbh.

That said despite that, he still causes so so many problems, even with two on him at all times. Unreal player.

He's made a great start (better than I expected). I think when we feed him and teams double up on him, we've got to be sharper at picking the times not to give him the ball. If they have doubled up, it should offer space elsewhere for other runners and that's where we can make him even more effective.
