Manchester City, known for their goal-scoring abilities, have a surprising player with the highest shooting accuracy this season – Jack Grealish. Despite his injury struggles and limited appearances, Grealish has an impressive shooting accuracy of 81.3%, leading the team in this category. This unexpected statistic shows that Grealish is successful in getting his shots on target, although his goal-scoring record this season has been low with only three goals.

Erling Haaland may be City’s main goal scorer, but in terms of shooting accuracy, Grealish has outperformed him and other teammates like John Stones, Phil Foden, and Julian Alvarez. Grealish’s accuracy could be a result of the opportunities created for him, as he may not get as many chances as Haaland. While Grealish excels at getting his shots on target, he now needs to work on being more clinical in front of goal and increasing his goal-scoring output as per Pep Guardiola’s challenge.

Despite being sidelined with injuries, Grealish’s high shooting accuracy is a positive aspect for City as he aims to contribute more goals to the team once he returns to full fitness. While not typically known for his accuracy, Grealish’s statistics show that he has the potential to improve his goal-scoring capabilities and make a greater impact in City’s attacking play. As City continue their pursuit of success, Grealish’s accuracy could prove to be a valuable asset in their quest for trophies.
