Jack Grealish has been revived at Everton this season.
The 30-year-old is on a season-long loan from Manchester City because he wanted more playing time, and he is absolutely thriving under David Moyes.
He was a shell of his former self the last few seasons at Man City.
Injuries, along with players like Jérémy Doku, Savinho, and Omar Marmoush, pushed Grealish out of the squad.
Over the past two seasons, he’s only played 19.2 90s in the Premier League, scoring only two goals and providing four assists.
In fact, in 2025, he only started one Premier League match for Manchester City, and that was against Leicester City.
It was clear that the £100m man needed a change of scenery because he was no longer wanted, and Everton has proven to be the perfect landing spot for him.
Jack Grealish already has four assists and one goal in only seven Premier League appearances.
In this Jack Grealish scout report, we will examine Jack Grealish’s original role under Pep Guardiola, why it has diminished over the past two years, and why it is thriving under David Moyes.
Jack Grealish At Manchester City
Before we get into why Jack Grealish is thriving at Everton, I believe it’s important to look back at his role under Pep Guardiola.
If you remember his years at Aston Villa, Jack Grealish thrived in the left wing/inverted winger role, which allowed him the freedom to roam around, find pockets of space to get on the ball, and blow by defenders.
If you examine his heat map from his final season at Aston Villa, you will see a significantly larger role, dropping deeper and into the left half-space, as he had that type of freedom.

At Manchester City, his role was completely different.
Jack Grealish wasn’t signed to be the main man creating everything for Manchester City’s attack.
