Grealish Revives Form at Everton, Credits Moyes' Freedom and Admits City Missteps

Grealish says David Moyes' license to play freely has restored his confidence following a self‑acknowledged dip at Manchester City.

Overview

  • On a season-long loan from Manchester City, Grealish delivered four Premier League assists in August and won the Player of the Month award.
  • He told Sky Sports he enjoys going out but "didn't help" himself at times at City by choosing the wrong moments to party.
  • Grealish says Moyes urges him to express himself on the ball, a shift reflected in 9.1 carries per 90 this season compared with 3.1 per 90 across his last two years at City.
  • He chose Everton to "feel the love" and to enjoy football again, describing himself as vulnerable off the pitch and thriving when supported.
  • After contributing to City's 2023 treble before losing his place, he has reset his career at Everton, who host West Ham on Monday in Nuno Espírito Santo's first match in charge of the visitors.
