What a player Jack Grealish is going to be - buy him Roman, please.

He looked that good to you today?
{Ed001's Note - have I been watching a different player? Only I don't get the hype with him at all.}

As usual whatever the commentators say or choose focus on tend to be the topic of discussion. Instead of just calling what's on the pitch they want to give their opinions on what challenges should be yellow cards or not and who they think is a good player with their always biased opinions. A decent player Grealish, but he did nothing special imo.

I double that Ed001, think the English press is always quick to hype up every British youngster out there, think he's decent but nothing too fantastic. Good win for us though, totally needed it.

Don't rate him one bit.

I'm with you, Ed001. Sure he's got some skills on the ball, but he never stands out to me.
{Ed001's Note - I couldn't believe how the pundits were raving each time he gave the ball away. It seems it didn't matter that everything he was doing just gave the ball to Chelsea, so long as it was him that was doing it.}

Hahaha Ed001, as ELI said it's typical of the Brits to hype every young player that gets consistent starts in the league. It's the same with Belgian commentary when Lukaku plays. Everything he does is fantastic. Apparently yesterday during the first 25 minutes or so he literally did nothing noteworthy yet they were calling him their early man of the match. It's incredible.
But yeah, Grealish is nothing special IMO. Adama should start instead of him if anything. I'm pretty sure a lot of top teams have better players in their U21 squad but they don't get to play because the senior squad is actually good while Villa's just isn't (I'm thinking of Musonda just to give an example, because I don't follow other teams' youth squads but you get the point) .
{Ed001's Note - I agree with that, I still can't believe Grealish actually had to think over which nation to play for. If England are that poor he can get in the team, then it is time for the nation to give up international footie!}

He should be nowhere near England's national team. Maybe the U21s but even there I'm not sure :-P.
