Jack Grealish is having a tough time at Etihad. The $117 million signing is rumored to be on his way out. Critics are piling on, and even Grealish himself is feeling the heat.
Reacting to criticism
Grealish took to Instagram to fire back at his critics. A fan had commented on a post about former player Agbonlahor’s criticism of Pep Guardiola’s lack of faith in Grealish. The fan said Grealish had been playing poorly and it was no surprise Guardiola was benching him. Grealish responded with a mix of humor and sarcasm: “Haha, I’ve been playing badly lately? I scored three goals in my last three games in 45 minutes, but okie dokie love x.”

Guardiola’s plans
According to The Telegraph, Guardiola is set to leave Grealish out of the squad for the Club World Cup. This move could be the final nail in the coffin for Grealish’s time at Manchester City. Despite his recent goal-scoring form, Grealish’s future at the club looks uncertain.
