Best signing by a country mile, the player ruined by two managers, Pep and Southgate. All Moyes has to do is tell Jack to forget the ****e rammed into him about keeping possession and playing it backwards or sideways, just go back to doing what he does best, running at defenders and putting the fear of god into them.
I still can't quite believe we went to the Euros without him.:blue:

I watched him last night BT.He did his usual bit of magic with the ball with little end product but after being tackled outside his own box just slowly got up and watched the opposition.He has lost his hunger BT.Quote:

I am afraid Jack will be another one of those that could have been.

Only my observation ballcock but Everton looked like a Dyche side with the same philosophy kick it big - long and hope Beto can win and get hold of it long enough to get Ndiy involved ( what I used to call one out football ).Quote:

As for Grealish himself I believe hes a quality footballer (marmite yes ) but nevertheless quality and hes at the moment between a rock and hard place club wise.
No slur on us or many other premiership clubs but hes better than most in the league so Id definitely have taken him at Burnley.
( the scenario reminds me of when we took Bamford and then kicked it over his head alm the time under Dyche ) again another quality footballer wasted in a wrong style football team.
He's played in around 450 games and he's not 30 yet, you don't play that many games for top clubs and coaches without at least a modicum of dedication. I don't know him obviously and he has got himself into some daft situations, but the journos who do know him say he's a good, sound lad, in fact one of the nicest people you'll meet in football.Quote:

It isn't about him being one of the lads or being sound, its about what he does on the pitch, and last season he did nothing. I honestly think he has lost his spark and will struggle playing in a poor Everton sideQuote:
