They are giving him and the ref stick. Now he has been carded he has to be careful with his diving.

I think Grealish might swap sides and try his luck against Alzate & Burn next half. He has been kept quiet so far.

It's funny that every time he goes down there's a momentary pause while he decides which part of his body to clasp in agony.

Grealish is a bit like Murray, slightest touch and he goes down like he has been shot. Just need not to do it around the area

He has the most fouls against because he dives endlessly and gets away with it. Need VAR to deal with it somehow

Looks like Jack has been teaching the art of screaming and jumping to the floor in any contact to all his teammates - absolutely outclassed tonight were him and the rest of the boyband mates - we won so many second balls.

The cheating today wasn't on the industrial scale of that on the away match.

Still ridiculous though.

I genuinely believe it costs them. It slows down all their attacks

Did anyone hear that he had the 100th foul against him tonight?

Perhaps the refs really need to understand he is very good at diving and needs to receive more yellow cards for it and reds if he repeats it.

They did actually say free kicks awarded in Vills favour, or words to tat effect, thereby implying they weren't fouls, just playing the ref.

There was a young man called Jack,
who spent half the match on his back.
When he jumped in the air,
he miss-placed a hair,
and he still got a free kick for that.

Yes Joel needs to remember to toss the rubbish out of his pocket before putting his kit in the wash
