Still very excited as to how good and how big a player he can be for us. Still think there will be one or two growing pains here and there, but he seems to be realizing quickly that he won't get away with some of the stuff he did at Villa, both on the pitch (e.g he should be taking the chance he had in the last few minutes against Leicester the other day, whereas at Villa he could miss more chances as on the whole he'd more than make up for it, etc) and off it, and it will make him a better player for it
 
You can tell he’s still nervous & finding his way but what an incredible start to his city career. One of the first names on the sheet for me. Brings so much on & off the field
 
He reminds me of a more robust Mahrez (not a slight on Mahrez as he is very gifted) has loads of skill and hopefully his numbers will continue to improve in terms of assists and goals

Hopefully he continues being aggressive to cut inside like he was yesterday. That has been my only criticism of him since he came, he was just always happy to lay the ball off at the edge of the box but yesterday he actively tried to cut inside and get in a shooting position, he had poor shots but I still like that he kept trying and he is only going to get better at getting his shots off hopefully.

From latest Popbitch email.

As long as it doesn't affect his performances. I'm sure Pep wouldn't be scares of slapping him down if it did.

I couldn't care less about his 'antics', Touré was far worse. In the summer I said I like Grealish but I would prefer to keep rotating Sterling and Foden on the LW instead of add another player to the mix. I still feel that way, and probably would even if he'd scored four or five by now. We should absolutely have let one of Raheem or Phil go before we signed Jack, as at least one of them is royally fucked now.

Not too late to sell Sterling. Phil will be staying.
 
Play him as a False 9!

Him being played wide seems such a waste given we have Foden, Sterling, Bernardo and now Jesus V2.0.
 
Honestly his passing has surprised me the most. I didn't watch much of him at Villa but some of his passing is just sublime. Like even with the angle we get watching it on TV he finds passes you just don't even see until he makes them. That was something Merlin used to do. With better finishing he'd have 5+ assists for us already.
