Finding the back of the net is something the former Aston Villa man has been struggling with ever since becoming a Cityzen.
Pep Guardiola is not losing sleep over the lack of goals from his prized asset Jack Grealish and also suggests that the player doesn’t need to do anything differently in order to prove himself.
Grealish has scored just two goals and provided three assists in 19 matches across all competitions for Manchester City.
It is safe to say that the 26-year-old, for whom the Sky Blues splashed a British record transfer fee of £100 million in the summer, has failed to live up to the expectations.
Guardiola, however, finds Grealish’s performance so far satisfactory.
“He has to do exactly what he is doing, no more than that. The rest will come,” said the Man City manager, as Independent reports.
“He has chances to score two or three goals every game and one day he is going to do it. He could have had a hat-trick against Watford and in the last game one or two goals again.
“The way he is playing is good but when you play a fantastic team like Wolves, who are incredibly well organised defensively, it is a good compliment for them that the fact to break their structure is so complicated. It was difficult for all the players, not just Jack.
“Never in my career did I find one season when every player stays, from the beginning to the end, in top form. There are highs and lows.
“But he doesn’t have to score. What he has to do is play like he knows what to do, feel that his contribution is helping to win games and the rest will come.”
