This Tuesday (27), Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola said that midfielder Jack Grealish will be a regular starter once his performance improves.

Ahead of the game against Luton Town for the FA Cup, Guardiola said: “He is the same player, he has the same manager, and the way we play has not changed. It’s just the way he has performed. That’s the difference”. Grealish started 41 games for City last season, including the FA Cup and Champions League finals.

But so far he has only started in 19 games, seven of them in the Premier League. He had few first-team minutes and, of his 19 starts, four were in the Community Shield, the European Super Cup and the two matches at the Club World Cup in Saudi Arabia.
“I said from day one, we need him. He has a special quality for our team. But it depends on him. Hopefully he can do a good last three months”, added Guardiola. “I cannot give players three or four games to get their rhythm. They have to find the rhythm to play for 20 minutes or 90”, said the manager.
