Jack's finding out life at City isn't that easy

FORTUNES in football are often fleeting and you can fall from the mountain's peak before you've even had a chance to take in the view. Jack Grealish hasn't exactly plummeted over a cliff face, but the fragile edge is starting to crumble beneath his feet.

A narrative has grown on some corners of social media that has moved to downplay the forward's contributions to City's City's Treble triumph or to just flat-out forget them.

Some supporters are questioning what he brings to the side as if he wasn't integral to its greatest success.

It took Grealish a while to get going following his £100m transfer from Aston Villa, but when what was required of him by Pep Guardiola finally clicked, he was off to the races.

While the rest of the squad struggled for form and fitness after the World Cup break, he was the only player to return from Qatar at his best.

His position in the starting XI had been insecure during the first half of last season, despite an improvement in performances, but from January he became undroppable. 

Grealish started 15 league matches in succession, as well as several Champions League knockout ties, and was crucial in helping claw in Arsenal to help the Blues retain the Premier League title.
