Grealish’s unbelievable miss.
In the 32nd minute, Riyad Mahrez made a mid-range pass for Jack Grealish. The former Aston Villa captain crossed over to finish but sent the ball over the bar from 5 meters away.
“This is a 100 million pound player?”, one fan mocked. “Please put Phil Foden on the pitch. Grealish doesn’t deserve to play another minute for Man City,” the second fan said. Sharing the same opinion, another fan said: “Sell Grealish right in the winter transfer window”.
Not stopping there, Grealish also disappointed when he missed 3 more opportunities in the first half. Minutes 37, 41 and 45, Man City fans held their heads in regret when they saw the English star hit the bar in an empty position, after Kevin De Bruyne’s or Riya Mahrez’s pass created opportunities.
However, Grealish was able to redeem himself with an impressive performance in the second half. The England international provided two assists for Erling Haaland to score to make it 2-0 and 3-0 for the Premier League champions.
In this season, the player born in 1995 has only one goal after 18 appearances, along with 2 assists, contributing little compared to the record fee Man City has to pay for. Aston Villa in the summer market 2021.
