Exactly — it’s a thing we fans seem to think. “Oh, he’ll be alright there, he played there one time in game X, it’s fine”.Agreed 100%

Check his heat map. It affects passing angles, cut backs and shooting positions/techniques if you play on the right.
Grealish is great on the left as he has all the dangerous angles open to him as he’s right footed. If you’re not used to playing on the right it’s not just a case of oh he’ll be fine.
We saw it with Sanchez, when we signed him despite Martial being in the best form and our best left winger, thinking it would be alright because we could play him on the right. We see it right now with Rashford, who looks a shadow of himself out on the right.
Also, I disagree with any idea that Grealish is a no.10, or better through the middle and just plays out wide due to tactics. He is very much a wide (left) midfield playmaker.
