Grealish isn't very good at 1v1 dribbles though. He doesn't have the burst of pace or skills for that in small spaces. Only with lots of space on the counter but City play against parked busses all the time. For that you need a dribbler who is very high level in 1v1s in small spaces, and no one in the world is better at that than Doku. So Pep uses Grealish in that advanced wing position to keep the ball and attract multiple defenders to create space behind those players.

Vini and Mbappe easily.

Grealish cooked every full back in the prem 1v1 to the point they just had to rugby tackle him to the ground when he was at Villa, fuck are you smoking to say he isn't good at 1v1 dribbling lmao
