Jack Grealish was confident that he could prove himself to be an important player in Manchester City once again.
Grealish had the worst year of 2024. After scoring in the English Premier League (EPL) on December 16, 2023, he has not scored in a year. It was in mid-January 2025, 392 days after the last score, that Grealish opened the scoring again.
Grealish will deny, but it was an expected slump. After achieving the treble with a good performance for Manchester City in the 2022-2023 season, Grealish's attitude issue has created a lot of concern within Manchester City. A lazy player outside the stadium could not succeed. In the end, Grealish had to watch England's Euro 2024 from home after their worst season.
Grealish, in shock of not being able to go to the Euros, only enjoyed drinking and partying during her summer vacation. While training again, I wasted time to adjust my performance, and the 2024-2025 season was also a series of sluggish performances. It's relatively recent, but it's embarrassing to say it's the main player in Manchester City. Even more so considering Grealish's transfer fee and salary.
As The Sun reported on the 10th, Grealish said in an interview "It's been the most difficult year." Probably the hardest year of my life on and off the field for a number of reasons. It was really hard. It's a new year now, and I hope we can start from here again..." he said, acknowledging the slump in 2024.
Grealish has publicly demanded more playing time from Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola for his revival. He said "I'm trying to get more involved in goals and assists in the last few games I've met Crystal Palace, Salford City and more recently. I want to play more often and maintain that rhythm. Sometimes it's hard when you don't play and then come in as a substitute. I hope he can train well and play more games."
On this, Manchester City manager Guardiola said "I'm very happy to have Grealish. Grealish has a raw sense of playerhood. Most players today feel educated by their coaches. Grealish was born to fight when people shouted on the field and is a fighter. I want more from Grealish. I wanted to see this level of Grealish, but it wasn't. You have to prove that you are the best. 'I want to show the director how wrong you are, and I want to rebelI felt that '" looked positively.
For Grealish, the remaining second half is expected to be a crucial time to decide on his career at Manchester City. Coldly, Grealish believes he can show a better side of himself, but the reality is not. Man City are not a team that can give many chances to a player who has never scored in a year in the league. That's the case with big clubs. Players who fail are released, and new competitors continue to come in. There is already widespread news that Manchester City wants to clean up Grealish and have a new second-term resource.
