Yeah lots of ‘just ok, good sometimes’ players are nailed on starters every single week for Manchester City. Pep does love to tolerate mediocrity!
Even the likes of Mahrez/Foden (even when in form!) were subject to Pep roulette, but not Grealish. Almost likes he’s offering the team something priceless, and not just being OK.
And you don’t need to listen to my hype, you just have to go and see City fans waxing lyrical over him, and since they are subjected to quite a lot of world class footballers I’d imagine you’d have to do quite well to get that kind of praise.
