Freedom in blue and fast returns
Since swapping Manchester City for Everton, Jack Grealish looks liberated: four assists in four Premier League matches and a Player of the Month award. Beyond numbers, he is dictating tempo, carrying games, and twisting defenders ahead of Monday Night Football vs West Ham.
“I’m at my best when I feel loved”
Speaking to Tim Sherwood at Finch Farm, Grealish called Everton a massive club and said he wanted to feel the love again. He admitted he enjoys going out but stressed there’s a time and place, conceding he didn’t always help himself at City.
Reflecting on the City years
Grealish framed his first City season as an adaptation to price tag, pressure, and Guardiola’s demands; the second brought a historic treble he “loved.” The third, he says, fell short due to his own choices. Now, with freedom and confidence restored, he is playing with a smile again.
Stage set: West Ham under new management
Everton host West Ham on Monday (8pm, Sky Sports), with Nuno Espírito Santo taking charge of the Hammers for the first time after Graham Potter’s dismissal. All eyes are on Grealish to keep the momentum going.
