Sky Sports pundit loses mind over Everton star who’s ‘like a king’ – ‘Wow’
Everton have caught the eye this season, with several of their new signings starring for David Moyes’ side.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has impressed for Everton, despite spending the previous season on the outskirts at Chelsea.
Jack Grealish was named Premier League player of the month for August, in what has been a stunning start for the winger at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Thierno Barry was named on the bench as Everton lost 2-1 to Liverpool on Saturday, however, with the striker not yet finding his feet in the Premier League.
Referee Darren England was criticised by Moyes after the game, following several questionable decisions.
Michael Dawson lauds Jack Grealish impact
Grealish has been praised massively for his impact at Everton, with the winger proving transformative over the Toffees’ attack.
The winger was among the best on the pitch again on Saturday, despite Everton’s narrow loss.
Conor Bradley had a torrid time against the England international, with Grealish ultimately fouled six times over the 90 minutes.
| Jack Grealish | Vs Liverpool (A) |
| Minutes played | 90 |
| Chances created | 3 |
| Shots | 1 |
| Tackles | 2 |
| Recoveries | 2 |
| Duels won | 8 |
And it’s been a similar story in many of the 30-year-old’s appearances this season. Grealish has been fouled five times more than any other player in the Premier League, with the winger drawing a staggering 17 free kicks.
Michael Dawson lauded the former Aston Villa man on Tuesday, with the former Tottenham defender describing Grealish as a “king”.
“Is it a surprise that Jack Grealish is playing like this? None whatsoever,” Dawson told Sky Sports.
“He has let the reins off, he’s walked in there like a king because I tell you what, his talent, and them Evertonians will be thinking ‘wow, what a signing we’ve got here.’
“He’s gone and expressed himself, four assists, I mean, he just looks like he’s enjoying his football again, and he can do whatever he wants to do.”
Everton must keep Jack Grealish fit
Moyes will be extremely happy with the impact Grealish has had at Everton, but the Scot will be wary not to place too much pressure on the winger, too.
The England international has suffered from several injury issues in the past, and should Everton’s attack become too reliant on their number 10, an injury could have huge ramifications.
Luckily, the form of Iliman Ndiaye should provide encouragement to Moyes, with the Senegal international not too far behind his wing partner this season.
