Follyfoot Posted October 11, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted October 11, 2020 Just now, Genie said: Foden, Greenwood, Sancho, Mount, Sterling, Rashford all ahead of Grealish. I’m quite glad actually, he’s ours to enjoy not anybody else’s. Come home Jack you are wanted and loved you don’t need the pre-madonnas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Three internationals in the international week is too much, especially with the season being so condensed. The more breaks our players get the better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Shocking Grealish didn't play, shocking. Gaby will have something to say about that, anyone heard him on Talksport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 the BBC are waxing lyrical over Belgium being "the top ranked team". It strikes me that if you can be the number one ranked team despite not winning any tournaments, the ranking is bollocks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have access to such unreal talent and still they failed to qualify. Pretty impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Silvers Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 To put the rankings in to perspective, that England team is ranked 4th, just play sh1t loads of weak opposition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Gotta say, reading through this thread, I feel like a bit of a sense of proportion might have been lost. That was a good result against a very good team. Not a great performance, but not terrible either, especially in the second half. I imagine Grealish and/or Mings will be getting some minutes in the easier game against Denmark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have some great players but no left back, Benteke and Origi as back up forwards and 2 world class players who cant play together. They have enough talent to win games but organised teams will beat them, Swiss beat them 5-2 not so long ago 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grealish is currently the better player, I don't dispute that for a moment, but Mount has got youth on his side. I wouldn't be surprised to see Mount overtake Grealish. Grealish should certainly be starting ahead of mount based on current performances, but, he's not fully fit, so I have no problem with him not playing today.

They've been the number 1 side since 2018. Their best performance has been a respectable 3rd place WC finish. Battering minnows in meaningless games does not make you the best side.

Mount is a wonderful player and will get better. What he will never have he is Jack’s vision and ability to beat a player or draw a foul. How important that is to England it’s all down to personal opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 (edited) Our players came home without injury thats good enough for me. As a distant second England also won two games. Southgate is a bad manager but in terms of the actual results I care about he is at 100%. back to the important games with a healthy Grealish and Mings!
