Maybe that’s why Pep Guardiola gave his £100million midfielder the nod at Molineux after a week when the boot really went in over Grealish’s failure to give Manchester City enough bang for their buck.
It certainly worked. Perhaps Pep knows best, hey?
In fact, it took Grealish just 53 seconds to repay his manager’s faith and answer the critics.
And how he enjoyed doing it in front of fans who will always have him down as a bona fide Villan.
Phil Foden and Kevin De Bruyne combined down the right in City’s first attack.
And although De Bruyne’s low cross was too strong for Erling Haaland as he arrived at the near post, it was perfect for Grealish to steer in his first goal of the season.
Injuries meant this was only his second Premier League start of the campaign.
