Jack Grelish got an assist from Iliman Ndiey and James Garner with a 2-0 win over Brighton at Hill Dickinson Stadium – and he’s enjoying football again at Everton
Jack Grelish is back to enjoying his football as he starred in Everton’s Curtain Laning victory over Brighton in the new stadium.
The Manchester City ace got assists from Iliman Ndiey and James Garner in a 2-0 victory at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Grealish, 29, has fallen from favor with Pep Guardiola, so he needs to make a difference this summer and loves life in the blue half of Merseyside.
He states: “The main thing was to enjoy playing football and enjoy playing every day. I have not fallen from love in the last few years, but have not enjoyed what I didn’t need.
“My family told me that when I was home. It depends on anyone but me. I absolutely love football and want to have that feeling again when I can’t wait to get up and get out there on a game day.

“That’s how I felt today and hopefully my performance showed it.” Everton kicked off his life at the new stadium with a big three-pointer, and boss David Moe paid tribute to those who made it happen.
He states:
“This is a huge step for the Everton Football Club. We have a variety of managers here for 100 years, but the stadium is here and we have to start building a strong team.
“We’re trying to get a good foundation.” Brighton only has one point after two games.
Boss Fabian Hazeler argues that Manchester United’s halftime alternative is tactical, not a distraction about his future.
He added: “I don’t wonder how we are losing, of course, the game can move in a different direction, but ultimately it’s about scoring goals when creating opportunities and holding a clean sheet.
“There were some details we didn’t do right. If you want to win the game, that’s something we have to improve.”
