Grealish makes frank admission comparing Guardiola to Southgate

Jack Grealish admits he is given more freedom with England, and wants to transfer that to his club form at Manchester City.

He's not saying anything controversial here. Just compares the two managers' styles (I'm sure no-one will be surprised to hear Southgate is a "do what you think" guy, despite his concerns about Grealish's tactical nous) and talks about how the freedom he feels at England is more inside him than because of the manager.

Seems pretty straight forward to me. He's been anxious to do what he's told and remember all his instructions and know his place and not ruffle any feathers and show respect to the players and manager he admires at City, and that's made him play overly safe.

At England, he's more relaxed and settled and his role is a little more like what was asked of him at Villa, so he's not so worried about his instructions and just goes out and plays.

It's just a matter of time and confidence for him to feel that freedom at City.

What Twitter comments? He hasn't said anything remotely out of order or which would indicate he's not "buckling down". In fact, he literally says (Telegraph article) he wants to keep on improving for City, which presumably he knows will involve more hard work.

He also makes it clear he feels "lucky to have a title under his belt", so why should he "keep his mouth shut"? He's a high profile footballer who gets asked questions by the media and has to answer them. He always goes out of his way to praise City, Guardiola and his teammates (both for City and England).

And absolutely nothing he's said would upset Pep or make him feel he has to "suffer" him as a "fool". Comments implying such seem spiteful and unnecessary. I know Grealish has had to get used to spiteful, unnecessary comments from rival fans, but I can't imagine what he's said that would upset any City fan to make them hop on that particular bus.

And not for nothing, but it's always better to read the full articles/interviews, rather than just out-of-context Twitter quotes, before jumping in to comment, particularly in a nasty way.

Edit to add: Telegraph article and BBC Sport articles. Similar content but few differences.

I think there was a bit of shit stirring on Sky sports this morning by reporting these comments, they seemed very selective to me. It wouldn’t be the first time.

It's no different to what he said in this interview... He articulated himself perfectly here, really sounds like a mental/nervous type of block more than anything else
