If he was a Villa player and Smith was picking him, your view would change. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Silvers Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 8 minutes ago, Nicho said: Nope I don’t think so. I think he goes with a team and formation he knows against a fairly decent team. Dont agree with Grealish not playing but just think it will be the case. Southgate just hasn't got the bottle to set up to play them off the park, scared to lose, scared of it affecting his glorious record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa87 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 I think the first game will be: Pickford Walker Stones Mings Chilwell Rice Phillips Foden Mount Sterling Kane Grealish and Sancho should be in instead of Phillips and Sterling. Interesting Grealish keeps playing at 10 and not off the left which in my opinion is his most dangerous position. Henderson cannot start if he cannot get minutes in during these two friendlies.

Nicho Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 12 minutes ago, theboyangel said: I personally think DCL is a limited striker, yet what he can do he’s pretty good at. He can certainly attack a ball aerially and gets into goal scoring positions regularly however, he doesn’t have the closing down or channel running energy of Watkins. He’s a younger Andy Carroll (probably a disservice to DCL in fairness!) I think hes massively different to Kane in movement and dropping deep. He’s not a like for a like replacement but we treat him as such. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, Modric and Rakitic would be scared shitless with Mount, Bellingham, Foden and Mount running at them. But we won’t. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Maybe reading too much into it but Gareth gave Jack number 7 shirt which makes me think he is a first team starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lochheads twin Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 13 minutes ago, Nicho said: None of this 11 will start the first game Agreed. definitely has the feel of his second XI, which does not auger well for Jack starting in the Euros. They seem to think it is a choice of two from three between Foden, Mount and Grealish. I am sure players of this caliber will work it out and give the opposition the problem rather than taking the safe option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a winner mate, an in reality hates the way Southgate sets up the best attacking talent we have had in decades. He cannot disrespect him, due to the media being silenced in being negative on Southgate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Silvers Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 VS Croatia will be Kane Sterling Mount Rashford Henderson Rice Chilwell Mings Stones Walker Pickford And we will draw at best. Hate saying this as I'm a glass half full type, but it's this manager, hope hope hope he proves me wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
