VillaChris Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Had no idea he was even in England squad until I turned over to the match just now. Hopefully he makes it through o.k as we're going to need him at Chelsea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he just made a speedy recovery and there isn’t some conspiracy shit to this as well. England will become impossible to support otherwise if it’s just filled with snakes top to bottom. I feel he’s under pressure to play to keep his place in the squad, it’s all quite disappointing. I guarantee Villa aren’t happy with it considering he was complaining about his ribs which were strapped against (whoever we played second game) and then missed the Brentford game. Thankfully this shouldn’t be too competitive and he will come through unscathed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that there’s a huge amount of pride and every player wants to but it seems to be diluting their club responsibilities and any right thinking fan is ‘club first’ so it makes supporting England or whoever pretty difficult. I'm sure I’m just being a dramatic little bitch but it’s in my nature as a Villa fan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I’m just being a dramatic little bitch but it’s in my nature as a Villa fan. Well it’s something that serves Maguire, he gets a rest against little Andorra and Man Utd are happy but not in any danger of Tyrone taking that spot in the first XI. Grealish being an automatic starter is proof of the machine, he’s done next to nothing at City because he hasn’t had to but suddenly he’s first choice. England have a strategy to try to win a tournament and have their yes man - maybe it will work, but it’s **** boring and leaves a bad taste in the mouth. I also don’t think they’ll ever do it this way with this manager. Edited September 5, 2021 by a m ole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody1000 Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Suspended for the Poland game, hopefully he can report back to BH rather than travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 I'll throw a conspiracy theory out there... The England doctors were a bit happier to give him some pain killing meds than the villa doctors were... Or failing that even with the injury healing a little bit the meds can now come in to use Either way I reckon he got a jab of something to see him through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So no real shock that a week later he is feeling better and able to play through it. It won't be 'broken' as reported by Sky Sports. It'll be a contusion. Either way, there's not real treatment for minor rib injuries other than to rest up and crack on when you feel able to. There's nothing to see here. He will be back for Chelsea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always been that way, IMO. Players getting injured, tapped up, heads turned and all the rest of it. The upside of raised profile for the club and the players (in this case Tyrone) is never going to be worth it from a club fan perspective in the long run, but we're all blinkered I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 i missed what his yellow card was for but i actually think it made a lot of sense, maguire and stones will automatically start vs poland because southgate, so his suspension means very little he'll be available for the andorra, hungary, albania and san marino games where he likely will get a start if fit and lets face it at least one of the two guaranteed starters will have a mystery injury that results in them missing the england games but no club football, he's cementing the 3rd choice slot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
