No set a different standard for Jack than he had for everyone else. Foden has been poor for England. He was justified in not playing him.

They'd be saying they had a lucky route. Whilst getting to the finals is an accomplishment. Had we played any team with both a good squad and a competent manager ala Spain, Italy, Belgium, and Arguably Portugal and France we'd be talking about how the finals were completely different. Vindication isn't earned through results, it's earned through respect and performance. As soon as a Premier league club tries to poach Southgate maybe ill think he was semi-competent. Until that day though, I will think he got handed the most talented squad in the world, had the easiest routes to the finals, whilst all the other top teams were historically bad and he still bottles it.

How was he to know they were going to miss a player for the last 15. What's more for the first 10 minutes of extra time they dominated. The only reason we looked comfortable is because I the end they couldn't press. There's a difference between getting a result and being correct. And people like Southgate and Steve Bruce are the living embodiments of that.

Quickly almost as if when he plays in the centre and truly has the free role he is the most effective player in the world outside of 3 certain fellows named Robert, Cristiano and Lionel.

Grealish is a better counter attacking player than sterling as well. In fact he is the best in the prem and probably the only player comparable to him at it in world football is spinnazola.

Jack does take penalties. By all accounts he's actually very very good at them. One of 2 in the England u-23s to not miss a penalty in training. Only taken 2 for us 1 was a goal. The other was the underside of the bar. He selects who takes the pens. Normally he lets the striker take them to bump up their goal tallies but maybe he should. Because then he can force his way into the team via the layman.

In the 2 easiest paths to the finals in history. The only easier ones were Croatia in 2018 and Portugal in 2016.

Because he hasn't shown contempt for Foden time and time again.

Only because they were completely exhausted and had 10 men due to injury. And were missing their best player the entire tournament.

He's better defensively in every metric than sterling. Plus he takes pressure off the defence like no one else on football. Look at our defensive stats with and without him. We concede 0.5 more per game without him.

Has much better defensive stats than sterling.

Ridiculous, one of the few guaranteed to want to take a penalty.

I corrected myself which is why it says correction. I believe Freddie was higher percentile. But cash had slightly more per 90

We aren't talking about dele alli here. Foden was an average player this season. There are a number of English players who are similar in age who are just better. Mount, Saka, ESR, Reece James, Eze, Tomori, Konsa, Sancho, Bellingham.

No, I'm comparing cash 20-21 and Guilbert 19-20. Because if it was just this season it would be no contest. Because in the games he played Gilbert was a top 5 rb in the world.

Maybe but that isn't right now where he is an average player.

Because Foden is an average at best Premier league starter and I think that is generous. I'd definitely have Traore over him if you ignore age. Messi was probably the 2nd best player in world football at the time pep first coached him (and he would have known him as he coached barca B from when Messi was 17). Its a **** ridiculous claim.

You can respect his opinion on everything but his own players. He things John stones is better than laporte who I think is pretty much a consensus top 10 cb in world football atm. Probably top 5 with Ramos and VVDs injuries.

Because that is definitely Dortmunds most important competition. Definitely not like they also progressed far in the CL.

Pep has a reputation for hyping up young players. He coached a player who was top 3 in the world at 21. And pep claims Foden is the best. What a ridiculous claim.

Raw appearances mean nothing. Look at starts, look at minutes played. He played in less than half of their available minutes, 21 games worth out of 50. 18 starts in those 50 games.

27 sub appearances. He had barely any game time. Dortmund fans say he barely plays. 10 minutes at the end of a game isn't really what I would classify as meaningful game time. Which is what he mostly gets. Playing about 1913 minutes out of a possible 4500 so near enough 40% of the available time.

He played fewer minutes for them in the bundesliga than el ghazi did for us. He barely plays and when he does it's because of an injury concern to Reus. He had 18 total starts last season in what must be over 50 possible games. That is not playing for someone. And he only had that many games because Thorgan Hazard missed half the season through a torn Thigh muscle.

Given your reputation regarding young players I'll take that as affirmation that my views are correct.
