Jack Grealish makes brutal admission on Man City struggles - 'Most difficult time of my life' Jack Grealish emerged from Manchester City’s spookier ride than a ghost train at the funfair to admit: "This has been the most difficult year of my life.".
Grealish said: "Last year, the whole year itself, it was weird because my little daughter was born, but apart from that it was one of the most difficult years - probably the most difficult year of my life for many reasons, on and off the pitch.
It would be a criminal waste if Grealish’s ability to season the pot with a chef’s kiss was allowed to wither on the vine, stuck behind Jeremy Doku and Savinho in the pecking order when he would almost walk into any other Premier League side.
Being axed from England’s Euro 2024 squad by Gareth Southgate hit Grealish like a sledgehammer, and it was a remarkable feat of under-achievement that he went through the whole of 2024 without scoring a single goal for City.
On a white-knuckle rollercoaster at Brisbane Road, City were stretched to the limit by brave, blustering Leyton Orient until Grealish’s killer pass set up substitute Kevin De Bruyne’s late winner.
