  1. His skill set as a winger in city was subpar. A winger is supposed to open space for the offense by dribbling pass players running to the line or cutting inside He doesn't try to dribble past players 1v1 or 1v2 running line for a cross or cutting inside .JACK ALWAYS PASS BACKWARD and falling down. Hes great defensively though

  2. He needed freedom. That's not the way Pep plays, strictly position based tactics. Grealish likes to drift into the centre and float around pep chooses where you are, where ypu mive and how and where you pass.

    Pep says, if you are not Messi then you defend.

  3. Him, and Phil Foden, it felt like winning treble the Ultimate conquest in club football made them feel like they have achieved it all in their careers and are satisfied with it. No more hunger to pursue something more,.

  4. Okay can we STOP as a city fan we gonna keep em if someone bids we sell it’s business not everything last forever he was a key figure in several title battles 😂 (every player goes through this) nobody got better as they get older except Z!

  5. Nothing untoward about what happened to him, he just never suited Guardialo's style of football. I never understood why they bought him and why they spent so much money on him. The irony is that Pep seems to favour ball carriers going into his next formation project but he's just not the player he was a few seasons ago. A young Jack Grealish going to say, Flick's Barcelona, would have been potentially world class.

  6. His lifestyle off the pitch is one factor that affected his body thus affecting his performances, this contributed to the number of injuries he experienced.

  7. We never learn as a country. We cheered him on drinking himself into an actual wheelchair, a few years back. And we wonder why we are the only comparable nation in Europe that hasn’t won a major trophy in 60 years

  8. Aston Villa should’ve took him back. A genuine born and bred Villa boy. Give him complete freedom to create magic and make him the captain once again. He’s a Villa supporter through and through he would wear his heart on his sleeve like the average Villa fan. He has roots going back to that club as far back as his great, great grandfather who was a FA cup winner. He has won everything so he'd been a brain gain and command more respect form all the players. I think all the Villa fans still truly love him deep down (more than Everton fans ever will) because he’s one of theirs. Grealish would feel it and it would’ve rekindled his lost passion.

  9. What happened to Grealish is the same thing that happened to Jack Wilshere: he was never that good

    The English hype machine never learns its lesson. Bellingham is the only one since Rooney who is worth the hype

  10. Big fish, small pond at Villa. Small fish, big pond at Man City.

    Decent player but horribly over-hyped, even from when he first broke through with Villa in the championship. Remember the media trying to goad him to compare himself to Gascoigne before the Euros 2020.

    Pep is also a control freak, and cannot handle players who do not fit the mould like Grealish. Same with Zlatan and Toure.
