Aston Villa manager Dean Smith has revealed the truth about what he said to Jack Grealish during half-time of Friday’s Championship clash with Bolton Wanderers, admitting the player can become “frustrated” when he isn’t in possession a lot.
Grealish scored one goal and assisted another as the Midlands outfit earned a 2-0 win over Bolton at Villa Park. The 23-year-old has been inconsistent at times this season and doesn’t rack up the goals and assists in games that a playmaker of his ability should. However, he was in top form on Friday.
Making runs in behind the defence and pulling the Bolton players out of position, Grealish showed exactly why there’s still a lot of Premier League hype surrounding his name.
