"The crowd have really taken to him. Quite often when you come from another Premier League team it's not that easy to settle in. He's played well to add to that, scored a few goals, got a few assists. He can pick it up a bit more, no doubt about that. I've got no problem telling Jack straight, correctly, I don't need to tell him any lies or bulls***. He's big enough to accept it."
"You have to manage players differently but I think most players want to be spoken to straight. Sometimes you can be disliked because the truth isn't something everyone wants to hear. Jack wants the truth, wants to be pushed and told. He's responded to it. He's playing 90 minutes in the games, and at never have we thought about leaving him out because he needs a rest."
Jack Grealish has featured in every Premier League match he was eligible for this season, making 12 starts and missing only the fixture against parent club Manchester City. He has created 26 chances, 25 from open play, a tally only bettered by Jeremy Doku, and has 3.0 expected assists behind Doku's 3.5. Grealish assisted twice in each of his first two starts for Everton and scored his second goal to secure a 1-0 win at Bournemouth. Everton's management applies an honest, no-nonsense approach, telling Grealish the truth, pushing him, and rewarding fitness and availability.
