I agree but the same fixture last season it should have been his goal that won the game at the Etihad. We still need him to get back into some form as well between now and the end of the season even if he wants to go.He's far from fit, so I fear there will be.
I'm a firm believer that players find their rhythm playing in the League- the drop off in intensity in other competitions is huge- and that it takes a good 10 consecutive League starts to get fully fit and sharp. Ideally, they should also be seeing out the 90 minutes in those as well. Alas, Grealish has only managed such a run with us in the 22-23 season.
