Souness: Man City attacker Grealish just not that good

Former Liverpool and Newcastle United boss Graeme Souness has given his opinion on a Manchester City star.

Souness admitted to not being the biggest fan of City winger Jack Grealish, who helped his team win the Treble last season.

Grealish has not had the best of seasons, struggling with injuries and not being able to get regular football.

“I can't say I'm his biggest fan, no," Souness told talkSPORT.

“I don't see any changes. In fact I think his stats may be worse at City than they were at Villa."

Asked if Grealish should take more responsibility, Souness replied: “Maybe in the sense of dropping back, more enthusiasm to do the hard yards, the hard yards going back towards your goal.

“But you're not buying that type of player because he defends really well for you.

“The priority for someone like that when you spend £100 million, he's going to be the difference in the big games. He's going to be scoring lots of goals and creating lots of goals - none of that's happened.

“Yeah he's won some big trophies but I'd argue he's in a very, very good team."
