Jack Grealish ‘could end up back at Aston Villa’ as Man City star told to justify £100m price tag and ‘stop being six-out-of-ten’ after defeat to Liverpool in Community Shield

Jack Grealish has been warned Manchester City could sell him back to Aston Villa unless his form at the Etihad improves.

The England international, 26, was quiet once again as the Premier League champions were beaten 3-1 by Liverpool in the Community Shield on Saturday.

Grealish failed to make an impact in the defeat to Liverpool

It follows an underwhelming first season under Pep Guardiola for Grealish, who was signed for a Premier League record £100million from Villa last summer.

Grealish struggled to establish himself as a regular starter for City and notched just three goals and three assists in 28 top-flight appearances.

While Guardiola has continued to defend the forward’s form, ex-Villa striker Tony Cascarino insists Grealish’s price tag means City will not settle anything less than excellence from the £100m man.

Cascarino told talkSPORT: “At the end of the season, if he doesn’t pick up his standards, what we know he’s capable of and why they paid £100m for him, he’ll probably be loaned out or he might end up back at Villa.

“He’s not playing well enough consistently for Man City.

“I’m not talking about being OK, six out of tens. He should be eight or nine. He’s got so much quality.”

Cascarino added: “Jack has got an issue. You can’t be a £100m player and be OK, your standard is higher than that.

“City’s standard is higher than that and he has been six out of ten too often.”

Liverpool 1-1 Leicester City: Reds fail to go seven points clear of Manchester City with lacklustre draw

http://bit.ly/2GbpR4P Liverpool missed a golden opportunity to go seven points clear at the top of the Premier League after only managing a 1-1 draw at home to Leicester. Following Manchester City’s defeat at Newcastle last night, the Reds could have put themselves in a commanding position at the summit and got off to the perfect start when Sadio Mane gave Liverpool the lead after just two minutes. But the Reds were lacklustre and let Leicester back in it when Harry Maguire took advantage of some slack defending to equalise just before the break. It means Liverpool are now five points clear of Pep Guardiola’s men but it was not the result Jurgen Klopp’s men were looking for. MORE TO FOLLOW Let's block ads! (Why?)
