Grealish impressed as Villa thrashed Walsall in their pre-season game and some Villa Park fans commented on his improvements.
Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish has taken to Twitter with his post-match thoughts following Wednesday night’s impressive 5-1 friendly win away at Walsall.
Summer signings Jota and Wesley linked up superbly on the pitch and were rewarded for their efforts with a brace each, while the hometown hero rounded off the scoring for Dean Smith’s side.
