Seems he is finding life difficult at City.
Pep has told him he needs to show what he can do which, I assume, is why he isn’t getting started in games.
Thing is though, Pep signed him so must have seen something in him.
This is the problem for half decent players (that is my own opinion of Grealish). They are in a team of mediocre players and lauded by the fans and then get delusions of grandeur and move up to a significantly higher level (can’t blame them I suppose) and then end up a little fish in a big pond.
To me they are one trick ponies, running at defenders at speed which looks good when it comes off (a bit like Bowler) but then teams get wise to them and muscle them out of the game.
There always has been (and always will be) players of that ilk, who flatter to deceive but never really hit the big time.
Keith Gillespie always comes to mind and I’m sure everyone on this forum could name a few.
City are at Villa tonight and it’s will be Sod’s law that Grealish gets the winner
