WHAT'S BUZZIN 'He's truly finished' - Fans troll Van Dijk on social media following Man City's comeback win against Liverpool
Liverpool were bamboozled by Man City in the second half at the Etihad Stadium as the Reds fell to another defeat in the EPL on Saturday.
Grealish's offensive ambition delighted Barry-Murphy, manager of City's Elite Development Team, but his defensive efforts in support of Pep Guardiola's team even more so.
Murphy hails Grealish performance
Grealish gave one of his best performances this season against Liverpool. He aided his group both offensively and defensively. Grealish was essential in preventing Liverpool from scoring the game's second goal because he blocked a cross from Mohamed Salah that would have allowed Jota to increase the lead.
The rest is history as City sped to a fantastic three-point haul against the Reds shortly after Grealish was there to set up Julian Alvarez for a leveller. Barry-Murphy emphasised that he will share the film of Grealish's heroics with his EDS players to illustrate the commitment and effort required at the highest level.

Grealish admits to suffering from illness during Man City’s demolition of Liverpool
Manchester City’s Jack Grealish has revealed he was unwell before the 4-1 win over Liverpool and struggled with the illness during the game.
Speaking on Matchday Live, “For me, Jack Grealish’s performance was on another planet in terms of what he did. We will probably forget what he did when it was 1-0 running back the length of the pitch to stop Liverpool going 2-0 up. That was a key moment in the game.
“He earned the right to get that standing ovation based on what he did. I will be showing our young players the images of what he did in terms of running back and he also made a massive tackle on Harvey Elliott in the opening stages of the second half.
Grealish performance is an inspiration to other players
The 27 years old set up the leveller for City and also was on target against Liverpool as Guardiola’s side secured a vital three points as they pushed further for the league title.
Still Speaking on Matchday Live, “It doesn’t always get highlighted but that will send a clear message in terms of the hunger of these guys and the intensity that they’re playing at is incredible.

No Haaland no problem for Manchester City in commanding victory against Liverpool
Manchester City outclass Liverpool in a comeback 4-1 win to close the gap at the top of the Premier League table
“To put on a performance like that against a team of Liverpool’s calibre is a big sign of what’s to come for the rest of the season. It couldn’t be more exciting for a City fan.”
On the performance of Grealish, Steve Howey, who appeared on the program with Barry Murphy and Olympian Brogan Crowley, concurred wholeheartedly. Howey was happy with Grealish, who also earned plaudits from the former City goalie, alongside Riyad Mahrez.
He added: “I thought Mahrez was brilliant. He is someone where, as a defender, if he backs you up into the box, you’re in big trouble. He’s very good at that.
“But for me, Jack Grealish was brilliant. I am so, so pleased for him.He comes across as a lovely, lovely lad. But what a performance!”
