Jack Grealish in strong Graeme Souness criticism response

'I don’t know what his problem is' - Man City's Jack Grealish takes pop back at Graeme Souness

ENGLAND star Jack Grealish has taken a pop back at Graeme Souness, saying: "I don’t know what his problem is with me".

The Rangers legend appeared on talkSPORT earlier this week. 

The former Liverpool manager made a point of saying that he doesn't feel Grealish is a great player and many overestimate his abilities. 

Grealish moved to Manchester City last summer for a whopping £100million from Aston Villa.

The internationalist admits himself he could do more and can still improve. 

But he made it clear that Souness' criticisms mean nothing to him.

He said: “I don’t know what his problem is with me. He always says stuff about me but I try not to read a lot of it.

"It is difficult when he’s on Sky Sports and it’s everywhere around the training ground at times.

“Listen, he was obviously a great player and won a lot but I don’t know what it is with what he says about me, or what problem he’s got. I know within myself, I always watch my games back and I am very critical of myself.

"I know that there were games, especially in the second half of last season, where I wasn’t at my best at all.

“People have so much to say, whether that be on social media or pundits and stuff like that. It’s just part and parcel of the game.

"Everyone wants to talk about it, whether it is good or bad, so you just have to go with the flow really. I’ve had to learn to deal with it. It’s more if someone was saying it like my mum or my dad or someone, I’d listen a lot more.”
