A headline statistic was doing the rounds after Liverpool's victory over Manchester City that didn't flatter Jack Grealish one bit.
It said that Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson, with his defence-splitting assist for Mo Salah's winner vs City, has more assists this season than Grealish has, seemingly criticising the City number ten for his lack of goal involvements this term.
However, as Grealish sat on the bench at Anfield, he may have felt that his long-term City prospects may have increased. Not because of anything Alisson did, but more from the way the Blues struggled to balance their attack against Liverpool.
