At the recent England game against Ukraine at Wembley, the loudest cheer of a pretty flat night was for the late introduction of Jack Grealish as a substitute.
England fans like Grealish. They see him as a flair player. They like his unpredictability because, on an international football landscape that often provides the opposite, it makes him stand out.
At Manchester City, it has been a slower burn. Grealish is now approaching the last knockings of his second season at the Etihad and perhaps only now are we starting to see the best of him.
