Man City boss Guardiola not concerned about Grealish: Goals will come

Pep Guardiola is adamant Jack Grealish will start scoring goals for Manchester City.

The England playmaker has scored just two goals for City since his £100m summer switch from Aston Villa.

The City manager said: "He has to do exactly what he is doing, no more than that. The rest will come.

"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."
