We did the same thing to him. Not remember the EFL Cip final when Fernandinho and Rodri were taking it in turns to kick the shit out of him? He spent most of that game on the floor, punching the floor or moaning at the ref because he holds on to the ball too long and invites the foul.Hasn't taken him long to realise City aren't refereed the same as Villa. He got the sh*t kicked out of him all afternoon yesterday and was lucky to escape serious injury.
And that was not a corner.We did the same thing to him. Not remember the EFL Cip final when Fernandinho and Rodri were taking it in turns to kick the shit out of him?

He has zero forward instincts. Like nothing!This is the problem. He can bust his guts like he did today but there is little end product and for me it’s because he takes a split second too long on the ball before releasing it.
I felt the same too. Even worse, his a massive downgrade from the past 3-players we had playing there. Sane, Raheem when playing on the left and G.Jesus.Its not his fault but I think buying Grealish was the start of where we got things wrong.
Agree, it should be Foden on the left and Grealish inside. Defensively, he does stick his foot in. And although the foul winning is sometimes frustrating, it's better to win them in the middle of the pitch, than out on the touchline.he is trying only. but he cannot succeed as he does not have the pace. he should play in the midfield he has bundle of energy and has workrate that will put prime bernardo silva to shame.
