Pep Guardiola billed Jack Grealish as a big player for the big occasion as he gave the £100million man his first action of 2022 in a repeat of the Champions League final against Chelsea.
But the Premier League's most expensive player continues to struggle living up to the hype and Saturday's performance was a microcosm of his first season at The Etihad - satisfactory but nothing special. He's certainly not the reason Pep Guardiola's men stand 13 points clear at the top of the table.
For the most part, Grealish was snuffed out by Chelsea's man-mountain Antonio Rudiger and fluffed his big moment after 40 minutes when Kevin De Bruyne’s interception bounced kindly into his path inside the penalty area.
