Has Pep Guardiola coached some of Jack Grealish's natural flair out of him? Ian Ladyman says on Mail Sport's It's All Kicking Off that England star is 'playing to instruction' but backs him to return to form

Ian Ladyman has questioned whether Jack Grealish has lost some of his natural flair as a result of working under Pep Guardiola.

The 28-year-old winger joined Man City from Aston Villa for £100million in 2021 and after a difficult debut season, he played a crucial role as Guardiola's side won the Treble in 2022-23.

However, bar an impressive performance during City's 3-0 win over Man United last month, Grealish has struggled to replicate that form, adding just two assists and no goals in 13 appearances in all competitions.
