Jack Grealish has his swagger back after Everton restored his love of football. Grealish signed for the Blues on a temporary basis during the summer transfer window after falling out of favour at Manchester City.
The England international has registered four assists in seven Premier League games - and scored his first goal for his new club against Crystal Palace last time out. Prior to the move to Merseyside, the 30-year-old had, by his own admission, fallen out of love with the game, but that is not the case now.
"To score the winner, which was my first goal for the club, was a brilliant feeling," Grealish said, reflecting on his stoppage-time winner against the Eagles.
"The fans have been so good with me since I have come here. I have loved every minute of it.
"The training and the playing, and I love playing here, at the Hill Dickinson, so hopefully it can continue.
"I like to do stuff in my life and when I like to do that stuff, I love doing it, so football is one of them.
"I love playing football and when I am enjoying it the way I am, there is nothing better. Waking up and training every day.
"There comes a lot of pressure with it, but it is the best job for us, so when I enjoy it like this, there is no better feeling."
David Moyes challenged Grealish to get himself into positions to score in the build-up to the 2-1 win over Oliver Glasner's side before October's international break. And while the former Aston Villa man wants to score more, he believes there is much more to football than just goals and assists.

"I think everything else I have done really well since I have come here," he said. "I have created a lot of chances, I have got the most assists in the league.
"I feel like I do good stuff here, like keeping the ball, for example, in difficult situations when the defenders need a rest.
"The thing is with football, it is not all just about goals and assists. It is a big part, but there is a lot of other stuff that comes into football.
"I feel like I am really good at this stuff. Obviously I want to score more, but I feel like I bring so much to the team anyway."
