I hope that someday he will start targetting the goal instead of opponents’ calves !
Perhaps he can be booked an appointment with Rico Lewis. Perhaps he can learn a thing or two about avoiding shins and opponents calves! Or maybe not, or maybe he just simply has a thing for calves, his calves and opponents calves, just seem to fascinate him!
 
It was a shame he was taken off as I thought he looked quite up for it, and it was obviously a shape issue, bringing on a defensive midfielder for him, not a performance thing.
Shame Mahrez wasn’t really to get Palmer on the right and see more of Foden in the middle. That said the switch worked well and once again the Mahrez/Grealish wide combo was shite.
 

Seems like the very worst man management, to reward "the best player" by hooking him rather than moving him, say to midfield. Guardiola's man management of Grealish (subbing/dropping him when he's played well) should be taught as an example of what NOT to do to give a player confidence and encourage form.
 
Takes TOO MANY touches and has no early shot.

A player like him HAS TO make the defender commit, so that he can’t get a shot off. Grealish RARELY presents as a shooting threat, with his kickout pass to Cancelo or Rodri a more likely shot opportunity.

On current form, it’s hard to find a starting place for him, but with Pep it’s horses for courses!

Inverted full backs or get them down the line?

Today, in the second half, when we switched to “down the line FBs,” we were significantly quicker and more dangerous with the ball, as it allowed us to pack the midfield with KDB, Rodri, Bernie, plus Riyad and Phil playing inside and flooding the channels!

I’m sorry, but you completely missed the tactical change it helped create, which also resulted in a win!
