After an impressive performance that saw him assist the second of England's three goals against Ivory Coast on Tuesday, Manchester City's Jack Grealish was understandably chipper in his post-match interview.
"I've spoken to Pep Guardiola," Grealish told Sky Sports. "He's shown me every other stat in the world that you would be happy with apart from goals and assists. He's the only person I need to impress but if you're a forward you want to get goals and assists so hopefully in the business end of the season I can get them."
His recent comments stand in stark contrast to those he has made previously this season, where he has tended to agree with the general consensus that his first season at City is not going according to plan.
