Jack Grealish has played eight times for Manchester City this season, scoring just one goal. He's only got seven goals in total for the club since joining, plus four assists, and is nowhere near his electric form for Aston Villa that persuaded City to pay £100m for his services.
Yet Grealish admitted after his Man of the Match performance versus Copenhagen on Wednesday that he is 'close to being the Jack Grealish that I was.' Pep Guardiola is delighted with his form, and the fans are loving his improvement this season.
He may not be chipping in with the goals or assists, but Grealish is proving to be undroppable for City on current form. Guardiola has long-insisted that City are not focussing on his headline metrics of goal contributions, although an analysis of his recent form suggests they would only be looking in the wrong place if they did.
