I feel like in his prime it would be Zaha, but it's like Zaha is lacking motivation this season so hasn't bothered diving as much (of course he's still doing it, just not a lot of point when you're not overly invested), whereas Grealish still has that desire to fight for everything for his team, so is more enthused and trying to get every edge and advantage he can.

The media and commentators/pundits really protect those two, and to a lesser extent Kane when he dives.

Never using any of the “dive, simulation, cheating” words.

Why?

All part of making PL soccer appear to be an whiter than white product for consumers?

They both have another problem in common - they're head and shoulders the best players at their clubs. They're made to looked better than they really are because everything has to go through them.
Villa's tactic against is was literally give the ball to Jack. He won't look half as good when he leaves unless they build the team around him.

If Grealish didn't have such a tosspot haircut he wouldn't get nearly as much grief.

Also if he pulled his socks up and stopped wearing shorts a size too small.

Grealish is turning into a very good player. I wish we had him then I wouldn’t be so concerned about his arrogance. I don’t give a s**t about his haircut. He will have a long career and probably captain England

I can’t remember ever disliking a player as much as I dislike Grealish. Horrible little shit.

Neither of them. Both of them are insanely talented and targetted in every match they play. Have sympathy for both of them. We’ve always loved to try and kick talented, individual players out of the game in this country.

No idea but Grealish is absolute quality and will keep Villa up on his own. Running the game v Spurs.
If only we had one midfielder with half his talent!

That worked out well.

Zaha and Grealish. One more full England cap between them than old Dunky. Zaha has both according to Wiki. 2013 the last. Never to be repeated.

Corrected for you.

When Leicester were playing here I thought Maddison must be training for a groundsman qualification, the length of time he spent studying the turf at close quarters.

When you consider how much spittle goes onto the pitch in any game, you have to wonder why some players like to roll around in it so much.

As much as you may dislike both of these players they are both extremely good footballers that would trip up and fall over into our side. Not sure I see the point to your post to be fair!

Corrected for you.

They are nowhere near as good as people think they are.
