‘Monumental fraud’ - Jack Grealish ruthlessly mocked after finishing 2024 with truly embarrassing statistic for Man City

Grealish last found the back of the net in the Premier League on December 16, 2023, during a 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace. Despite being a prominent figure in Manchester City's last three Premier League title celebrations and an integral player during the historic treble-winning campaign of 2022/23, his recent performances have disappointed fans. The attacking midfielder has struggled to replicate his best form, with his contributions in front of goal becoming a growing concern.

City fans took to social media to voice their dissatisfaction with Grealish's performances.

One fan, @masurge7, harshly criticized the player, saying: "For a £100m player this is unpardonable...if mid were a person, he'd be Grealish."

Another, @ibrahimnupe, wrote: "Monumental fraud."

While, @XRPMoonBagz, wrote: "The flop that isn’t talked about enough."

@lupainho's comment oozed sarcasm and wrote: "Outstanding returns of investment 100mil 🤣🤣🤣."

@cfcmasi: "Being 00365 is absolutely insane I can't lie."

A series of injuries has further compounded Grealish's struggles, disrupting his rhythm and availability. Over the past two seasons, Grealish has started only 16 league matches, with another 17 appearances coming as a substitute. During the 2023/24 campaign, he missed 15 games due to groin and hamstring issues, which kept him sidelined for nearly two months.

Throughout his Premier League career, Grealish has scored just 26 goals in 183 appearances, averaging a modest 0.14 goals per match. While his game has never been solely about scoring, the lack of goals has amplified frustrations among supporters, especially given his £100 million price tag.

Grealish remained an unused substitute against Leicester City on Sunday as Pep Guardiola's men returned to winning ways in the Premier League. The former Villa midfielder will need to step up in 2025 to prove his worth to the team and the fans, but the spotlight on him is unlikely to fade anytime soon.
