Hoping it’s my memory playing tricks on me, but I can’t remember a single instance he did this…
Best of both worlds with Grimes to me. Always looking for the ball and very rarely loses it. But then you get it where he plays a 30 yard pass perfectly to unlock a defence.
He completely dictates the tempo of the game, exactly like he did at Swansea when he used to boss us every damn time.Not to defend him too much but last season Grimes had the second highest progressive passes in Europe.

I don’t really get the issue people have with him picking it up deep tbh. He starts the attack way better than your average centre back does and when he moves into that position it allows the full backs to push on.it is like some people don't get how you play through a press
I take it your dealer is back off his holidaysHe played one ball over the top for EMC in the early ish games I think then never again.

I remember him doing a big cross field switch nearly every game tbhWe rarely played over the top or quickly to release our forwards last season. Lots of working it out to the wings and crossing in, few big switches or raking diagonals. I honestly can’t remember Grimes playing any passes like that or like his highlight reel on here when he signed that put a winger away.

People wanted us to sign one the best midfielders in the league and then whinge when does what he has always done.I don’t really get the issue people have with him picking it up deep tbh. He starts the attack way better than your average centre back does and when he moves into that position it allows the full backs to push on.
Also he actually managed to get a couple of goals in half a season which is something of a goal spree by Grimes standards. No midfielder will go without goals playing under Lampard.
And always when unexpected. I suppose the opposition just expected him trying to keep possession.I remember him doing a big cross field switch nearly every game tbh
Which is where the wingers normally are?Putting a winger through? Not just switching play to the other side?

We then did it against Sunderland at home who sat back and let us pass it around the back doing sweet FAit is like some people don't get how you play through a press
Dovin performing well according to the stats then
Considering it took a while to get going, being messed about and then also had his season cut short its pretty impressive.Dovin performing well according to the stats then
Must be some kind of misunderstanding between us here as it shows countless times the type of balls forward to the wingers I said.Maybe I’m not explaining myself well. The sort of passes you see in the first few here:

Less exciting than Centre backs and goalkeepers?No one said grimes wasn’t a good signing or even that I wasn’t happy we signed him. I just said defensive midfielders ranked lowest in my totally made up personal rankings of how exciting signings were.
Doug King help me please. Make a signing.
Goalkeepers aren’t even proper footballers!Less exciting than Centre backs and goalkeepers?
Have you seen his long and accurate throws? Would you get out your seat for a 1v1 against the GK?
Goalkeepers aren’t even proper footballers!

It's been a long slow window so far mate it has be boring, we need confirmation of Rushworth to beat back the boredom lolFuck me this is boring
You are getting carried away!Feels like we’re going for it a bit doesn’t it?
So would you rather be in Brum’s shoes or our own. I know which camp I’d rather be inYou are getting carried away!
Birmingham are "going for it"
We have signed an unknown fullback, a fullback who isn't as good as the one we have, and are linked to a loan keeper.
That is not "going for it"
Cliche bingo completeyou don't know what playing through a press is do you
hardly the cdm fault the forwards can't break down a low block
