Cant sleep still buzzing about tonightโs performance.
Just replaying the game in my head and questioning if I saw it right or not but when Grealish went on his solo run for a split second it looked like he deliberately handled the ball to keep it in play. Dyche was going crazy on the touch line signalling for handball behind him, anyone else see it or do I really need to get some sleep??

I thought they were just claiming the ball was out of play (looked it to me)

Surprisingly he wasn't the main offender when it came to cheating. Their number 6 however fouled our players all game and got away with it and also dived at every opportunity and won free kicks and got away with it. Tierney was completely oblivious.

He definitely handled the ball to enable him to keep control and continue his mazy run. I assume/hope VAR would have disallowed an amazing goal if he had slotted it past Pope. If it then hadn't been disallowed Dyche would have swallowed him whole the next time he went down the touchline. He is some player but such a Div!

The ball was nearly in Burnley town centre

It also looked like he was having an argument with Dean Smith walking off at the end. How sad to see such a smiling cockwomble as Grealish smirk free.

Quite a few times the camera panned to Grealish during the game to see him laughing in the direction of our bench. No doubt in connection to the latest Villa player on the floor. Not so much after 75 mins mind.
Such a good player but such a whopper as well.
He who laughs last and all that.

Grealish was not happy at the end and I did see Woan smirking but I'm not sure where it all started. Certainly Lowton was annoyed at Grealish in the 2nd half and he doesn't usually get too emotional. He'll have known Grealish from his Villa days so it could have been historical but more likely a touch of Grealish arrogance that came back to haunt him.
He's some footballer though. I thought his footballing brain was superb for their opener the way he cut inside taking the Burnley defence with him to make room on the outside for Cash to put in a great ball for Watkins. What is it about these talented players that makes them complete dicks? Think Best, Marsh and Bowles and add Grealish.

Read that Woan told him that if he could drive as well as he can dive then he'd give Lewis Hamilton a run for his money.
Please God let it be true....

When I see Grealish I am reminded of Frank Le Bouef's comment about Dennis Bergkampf - "great footballer, s**t man".
