"It is also fair to say that getting paid lots of money to win the Premier League several times over, and to have been a mainstay in a team that won the Champions League, is by no means some abject failure. Nevertheless, Grealish's last couple seasons with the Mancs have truly been bleak, with fewer and fewer appearances on the pitch and hardly any performances of the kind fans had come to adore him for."
"In a team with a manager accustomed to letting his attacking talents cook so long as they also agree to help on the defensive end, and surrounded by a supporting cast right in Grealocks zone-teammates good enough to amplify his talents but, unlike at City, not so good as to drown his out-the somehow-now-30-year-old looked well-positioned to recapture the form that made him one of the most entertaining English players of his generation. Sure enough, Grealish has been a star with the Toffees."
Jack Grealish experienced an underwhelming final period at Manchester City despite winning multiple Premier League titles and a Champions League. Reduced appearances and diminished performances marked his last seasons at City. A loan move to Everton offered more freedom, defensive expectations, and teammates who complement rather than overshadow him. Everton provided a setting where Grealish could play often and rebuild confidence. The player quickly became influential for Everton, producing match-winning moments and demonstrating regained attacking presence. A late deflected goal against Crystal Palace exemplified his renewed impact and the mutual benefits of the Everton loan arrangement.
