On Grealish, Pep was asked why Grealish wasn't in his team yesterday and he made a few interesting comments.

"Not rotation, no. I decided for this team because they deserved to play today, these guys and not the other ones.

“At Christmas time I pay a lot of attention to behaviour on and off the pitch. And when off the pitch is not proper they are not going to play.

"So we have to be focussed all the time because of distractions at Christmas time and everything that happens - you have to still be focussed."

He's blowing it. It's all gone to his head.

Nah, I think eventually he will be a success, he's too good not to be. But it will be very much as AN-other Citeh player as opposed to a the main man/superstar elsewhere.

I also think he'll be a success, but I suspect it won't be under Pep.

I think it will.  Loads of players seem to take 12 months to get up to speed playing the Pep way.  I think next season he'll be one of their better players alongside the likes of Mahrez and Foden.

I think he'll blow it because a)he's too thick not to stay out of trouble and b)he doesn't seem to have the advisers Beckham had.

He will be a success because he'll piggy back off others. He won't play much and when he does it will be against lower ranked teams to keep the better players fresh for the big games. We all knew this.

No we didn't.  I think you're wrong and I suspect plenty of others, including Pep, do as well.

well if it doesn’t work out for him at City I can’t see him coming back to us

I mean I’d have him back tomorrow but I Suspect Gerrard wouldn’t touch him with a very large rusty pole

The commentators were talking about this in the Citeh-Jawdie game in respect of Cancelo - saying that it took 12-15 months for the Pep-effect to take root and that Cancelo is now a far better player than when they first bought him.

Just like when it seemed he was going to settle down with Sasha...

Easy for Guardiola to be laying down markers for games against likes of Newcastle with his squad. If the indiscretions were that bad, neither of them would have been on the bench. Still, both players have plenty of previous and Grealish particularly needs to wise up.

He'll end up at Everton or somewhere rotten, doing a Delph.
