Jack Grealish’s stats for Manchester City at first glance might seem underwhelming. But the 17-cap England international has made a bigger impact for the club once you dig a little deeper.
As per the Tactical Times, the £100m summer signing from Aston Villa has been responsible for 20% of City’s key passes this season. With Grealish registering an astounding chance every 30 minutes in both the Premier League and UEFA Champions League.
Whilst the England international’s initial stats read as just two goals and three assists in all competitions, Grealish has become a focal player for City this campaign.
Indeed, whilst the attacker is creating plenty of chances, finishing them off seems to be the problem for City. Pep Guardiola’s side third in the Premier League table following a shock 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace.
With Liverpool and Chelsea looking imperious this season, results like this could prove to be devastating for City. And for Grealish, he will no doubt have to improve his goal involvement stats.
Whilst the former Aston Villa star is still learning the ropes of Guardiola football, Grealish is seemingly adding something extra to the City squad given the number of chances he is creating.
Man City fans are stunned by Grealish’s stats
Indeed, with Grealish being a somewhat conflicted figure amongst City supporters, some were shocked by how impressive his key passing stats have actually been this season.
Here’s what some City fans had to say on Twitter about Grealish’s stats after this latest revelation…
