Grealish has been fantastic for Villa so far this season. What really surprised me about him is his pace. He looked rapid vs City, running down Sterling on one occasion and regularly burning the City defence on the break.
He's such a technical player and usually tries to play a controlled tempo that you don't notice his pace that often but moving him back into the front 3 was a master stroke. He's a huge threat on the counter attack.
I can see why he declared for England. He only has Sterling, Rashford, Sancho, Hudson Odoi and Mount to get past. He was never going to get in the Ireland side ahead of James McClean!
