At best, Grealish has been inconsistent, and most of the time he's been disappointing or injured. Another example of a player being out of the team getting much better. Considering we bought the player with the most assists at the time in Hourihane, how come he's not able to slot balls through to Hogan, but Grealish will suddenly start? How many assists has Grealish got in his time with us?

If that's the case, Hogan almost certainly would have benefited and, therefore, may well do when Grealish returns.Grealish has been terrible ever since Sherwood left, hard to see how he would make any of our strikers lift their game.I think he'd work well with Davis in the same way he did with Benteke. In fact, I think he'd offer more supply to our forwards than any of the current midfield.

The trouble with Grealish is that I think he practically HAS to play in a 4-3-3 and that just doesn’t seem to suit us. He’s a very talented lad, but when he’s not on his game we might as well start with 10 men.

Grealish would play in a bit more of an advanced position than Hourihane.

Grealish would play in a bit more of an advanced position than Hourihane. Why though? Last time we played Hourihane in an advanced position he scored a hat trick. Grealish has never looked close to being that prolific in front of goal.
MON on HoganRelevant bit "He has the ability in the box to forge a chance for himself and score,” said O'Neill. “I think that he can improve greatly on his hold-up play outside the penalty area and I have said that to him. But I definitely think that he is a goalscorer,” he added."http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2017/10/05/martin-oneill-shares-the-honest-message-he-has-given-to-aston-vi/Whatever one thinks of MON I think this is pretty spot on where Hogan should improve.
