Couldn't believe he apparently turned down AC Milan and Roma start of last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His ability to hold the ball, win fouls and see out games is worth it alone. I want Jack nowhere near the England setup. The next 10 weeks for Grealish should be: Win us the playoff, a nice few weeks in the sun somewhere recovering from last season, before a nice preseason. Come back ready to fire Villa to the top of the Prem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One was a screamer from about 40 yards. Complete cult hero, purely because of this Off topic, but my fifa manager mode a couple of years ago, I was Portugal manager in the euros and playing with them I scraped through the playoffs, lost Ronaldo to injury, got through to the final via a late screamer after clinging on the whole game, then drew in the final before chucking on Eder who scored the winner in extra time. All this was about a year before it all actually happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan-scott Posted May 19, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted May 19, 2018 I have a feeling that the complete lack of expectancy, pressure and belief in this England squad will play into our hands, and I can see us doing quite well.

We need someone trust worthy like @blandy or @BOF to collect the agreed amount. Then once we have 32 players one of them can draw the teams for each person.

mikeyp102 Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Haven’t had chance to comment in here since the squad announcement. Going forward England look decent. Defence though is worrying, not sure how Jones has got near that squad, guy is rubbish, and if going there at the back he would ruin that as his distribution is Nathan Baker esque. France very similar to England as good going forward (could even leave out koman which is a surprise) but defence shaky, surprised they haven’t played Laporte as he seemed decent at city.

theboyangel Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Looks like Southgate picked the wrong Man Utd centre back. Smalling, one of the only Utd players to come out with any credit in the cup final. as for Jones - he really is a bit toilet isn’t he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 I actually think Henderson's a decent player, Milner lite in the understated way he goes about things in midfield covering space and breaking up play. Problem is when England play him and Dier in central midfield that's essentially two identical players in their skill sets so lack of creativity. Would work better if you had a Shelvey next to one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must be one critical bit of wiring missing in his brain. OK any defender can get themselves into an undesireable position, especially against Eden Hazard, but to go with the wrong foot, and facing in the wrong direction at the time was pure Jones. And the face pull was just the icing. The whole thing gets worse the more you see it. But any way, back to the world cup context. It's a toss-up between them but I'd probably have gone with Smalling too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 I would have gone for Lascalles. Either way hopefully Jones doesn't get a minute for us. Stones, Walker, Cahill, Maguire all ahead of him for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
