Grealish, who was loaned to Everton from Manchester City, made his first appearance in the first round of the English Premier League (EPL) against Leeds United on the 19th of last month (Korean time) as a substitute in the 26th minute of the second half. Everton lost 0-1, and it was a disappointing debut for Grealish.
The pain ended in one game. Everton beat Wolverhampton 2-0 and 3-2 on the 30th, respectively, following Brighton on the 24th. Grealish started two games in a row, with 'Porten' popping. He recorded two assists in two consecutive games. He ranked first in this category with four assists in three games.
Manchester City, on the other hand, has been in tears since the beginning of the season. Manchester City defeated Wolverhampton 4-0 in the first round of the EPL, but lost 0-2 and 1-2 to Tottenham and Brighton in the second and third rounds.
The match against Brighton on the 31st was painful. Manchester City took the lead with Elling Holan's first goal in the 34th minute of the first half, but allowed James Milner to equalize with a penalty in the 22nd minute of the second half and gave up a reverse goal through Bryan Gruda in the 44th minute of the second half.
Everton are 2-1 and Manchester City are 1-2. Everton are enjoying the effect of recruiting Grealish, and Manchester City, which dedicated the EPL hegemony to Liverpool last season, is another worst start.

However, as this article spread rapidly, I immediately deleted it. Man City fans can take it as an unflattering article. However, for Grealish, it is the beginning of the season where emotions intersect. It is the first time in a year that he has played in more than three consecutive games since September 2024.
Everton announced the signing of Grealish on loan on the 13th of last month. The lease period is one season until June next year, and it includes an option to fully recruit 50 million pounds (about 94 billion won) for a transfer fee that is not mandatory.
Grealish moved from Aston Villa to Manchester City in August 2021 for the highest EPL transfer fee of 100 million pounds (about 188 billion won). Expectations were high. But the reality was different.
He was sluggish in the first season, and in the 2022-2023 season, in the second year of Manchester City, he contributed to achieving the first treble (triple crown). He has been active in the European Champions League (UCL), as well as in the EPL and FA Cup, raising expectations again.

Grealish played in 20 games in the EPL in the 2024-2025 season, scoring only one goal and one assist. He started only seven games. He scored one goal each in the FA Cup and UCL. He has two more years left on his contract with Man City. However, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has classified Grealish as out of power.
Grealish said after Wolverhampton "I wanted to come to Everton and the most important thing was to enjoy football. I want to enjoy every game"It's not that my affection for soccer has cooled down over the past few years, but I don't think I've enjoyed it properly."
And "It's not anyone's fault, it's my fault. But I really love soccer, and I want to feel that feeling again as soon as I wake up on the morning of the game, I want to go on the field. That's what I felt today, and I hope my performance shows that well," he added.
