Man City's manager, Pep Guardiola, allegedly intoxicated Jack Grealish; his impact at Everton since joining has been significant
Jack Grealish, the English midfielder, is currently making waves at Everton after joining them on loan from Manchester City. The £100 million signing from Aston Villa in 2021 has found a new lease of life under the guidance of David Moyes.
Despite not yet being fully up to speed, Grealish's form at Everton has been nothing short of impressive. His underlying attacking data, such as expected assists (xA), chances created, cross accuracy, and successful dribbles per 90, all exceed his 2024/25 output under Pep Guardiola at Manchester City.
This impressive form was recognised when Grealish won the Premier League Player of the Month award for his performances at Everton. The carrot of Grealish's potential improvement is there, as he is not yet fully fit at this moment.
Grealish's struggles with fitness and form at Manchester City have been well-documented. However, at Everton, he has been a figure reborn. In his three top-flight starts for the Toffees, he has already racked up four goals, making him the top scorer in the Premier League assist standings.
Before his stint at Manchester City, Grealish was a vital cog of Pep Guardiola's treble-winning side in the 2022/23 season. He even won the Premier League title in his debut season at the club. Grealish also has a fine individual record against Liverpool, having scored three goals and registered four assists in seven Premier League games against them.
However, Grealish had admitted that he had fallen out of love with the game by his own admission. But his current form at Everton is generating excitement among both the fans and the players. The international break is a great opportunity for Grealish to continue working, as everyone is talking about him.
Grealish's dispossessions statistics are worth noting. He was dispossessed only 16 times in the entirety of his 715 minutes in the top-flight for City last season. This season, he and Idrissa Gana Ndiaye are the most dispossessed Premier League players, with 10 and 8 dispossession respectively.
As the season progresses, it will be interesting to see how Grealish's form develops at Everton. With his current form, he is undoubtedly a key player for the Toffees and a potential game-changer. The carrot of Grealish's potential improvement is there, and Everton fans are eagerly waiting to see him reach his peak form.
Grealish celebrated his 30th birthday on September 10, and the international break provides him with a perfect opportunity to continue his impressive form when he returns to action for Everton.
