Jamie Carragher Thinks Grealish Is Responsible For Almiron’s Form

After the Newcastle United forward scored once more on Sunday, Jamie Carragher believes that Jack Grealish is somewhat to responsible for Miguel Almiron’s remarkable turnaround in form.
The Paraguayan international scored his fifth goal of the year as the Magpies defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 to extend their unbeaten run to six games. 
Eddie Howe’s team moved up into the top four as result, continuing their strong start to the season.
However, Almiron, who was considered a lost cause at the close of last season, was the star of the show at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium when he scored for the fifth time in as many games.
Almiron’s goal against Spurs demonstrated that he is at the peak of his game. After gliding past Clement Lenglet, the winger calmly placed the ball past Hugo Lloris.

How Is Grealish Responsible For Almiron’s Form?

The 28-year-old’s pace was frightening as he bamboozled the Spurs defender and he is putting himself in contention for the Premier League Player of the Month award.

However, former Liverpool defender Carragher reckons that Grealish has motivated Almiron to improve his game.

“The form this man is in is absolutely scintillating,” Carragher during his co-commentary for Sky Sports.

“It comes from Lloris again, it’s not a great pass out wide but Almiron just goes past Lenglet like he’s not there. The goalkeeper throws his arms out again but he should do better, Hugo.

“The confidence this lad has got now, he wouldn’t have done that last season. No doubt about it.

“He just opens his body up and finds that far corner after showing the strength initially but the confidence to go past the defender and open it up.

“This fella is a different player and the man that’s motivated it is not just Eddie Howe, it’s Jack Grealish.”

Grealish sent a subtle dig at Almiron following City’s title win after he claimed that Riyad Mahrez “played like Almiron” in their 3-2 win over Aston Villa.

The 27-year-old made the comments after Mahrez struggled in their victory at the Etihad Stadium as City limped their fourth Premier League title in five seasons.
