Jack Grealish, once again, missed the chance to prove he can be Manchester City's main man when called upon.
So often the go to individual during his time at Aston Villa, the England star has struggled to transition from being a big fish in a small pond to simply a star among many others. His £100m price tag, which was enforced by his release clause at Villa Park, brings with it continued pressure.
Grealish has often said he relishes the responsibility, but on Wednesday night he didn't look like a player ready to grab the game by the scruff of the net. His performance in the first-half was so subdued that Pep Guardiola decided the 27-year-old's night was up after 45 minutes.
