Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City team is known for scoring a high number of goals from outside the box, with the manager seemingly encouraging his players to shoot from distance. This strategy is particularly important against teams that set up with a low defensive block, as shooting may be the only way to break them down. Players like Kevin De Bruyne, Phil Foden, and Rodri have been successful in taking shots from distance, while others like Jack Grealish have been hesitant to shoot and instead opt to pass the ball.
Despite Grealish’s ability to score from outside the box, he often chooses to pass rather than shoot, which has been noted by pundits like Gabby Agbonlahor. When he does shoot, Grealish struggles to get his shots on target and create enough distance and elevation to beat defenders, unlike his teammates who are more successful in this aspect.
