I know we did fill a few pages about a player we thought we might sign but this is all a bit much. Added to the fact that there are no fish and tits in sight and you’ve got some serious sados down there in London. Dodged a bullet there Jack. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't believe he was good enough for the job in the first place and now spends every game trying to practice systems that he hopes will avoid embarrassment whenever we play the better international teams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Thug Posted October 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 9, 2020 Jacks overwhelmingly got the media on his side. This is the ONLY reason Southgate even played him. Everything that he says, is basically saying that Mount is a better player, and that I’m only trying Jack out because the media are twisting my arm. The guy is a complete nob. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Vive_La_Villa Posted October 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 9, 2020 I think people are getting a bit carried away with the Southgate hates Grealish stuff. Yes he had a problem with him and should have called him sooner. But he has been called up and played the last 80 minutes or so. You’re all acting like the school PE teacher isn’t picking your kid for the school football team. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhan_Zhuang Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Last night for England I thought Grealish was the best player on the pitch (no surprise) and Calvert-Lewin also looked great. Thing I noticed was the huge strapping around his thigh, he seemed not at 100% to me and did enough to perform well but seemed to be holding something in reserve. Presumably after that performance he has to play on Sunday against Belgium and of course rightly so. But I'm slightly worried he's injured or not far off an injury that could keep him out of action for us! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pele's team talk and tactical breakdown of how to win the football game in "Escape to Victory" is very much along these lines but goes a lot deeper into the tactics of what you described above. Keep it simple. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted October 9, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) Those Red Cafe Grealish threads are an interesting read. Firstly I was gobsmacked at how sensible they all seemed, I was expecting a right bunch of bellends. Rather dull though compared us, not much fun to be had. * I was amazed at how highly they valued Jack. From page 1 of the "transfer" thread they pretty much rated him and wanted him, just not liking the price. On the actual Grealish thread the last few weeks have been gushing about him. Much "if only we had signed him". One guy said he would be their best player, almost universally think he's better than Rashford. Another has started watching our games just to watch him and pretty much universal opinion that he should be starting for England and his lack of caps is criminal. These are Manchester United fans we are talking about. Oh, and they clearly have no idea how rich our owners are. * just like to thank @limpid and our mods. I know it's a challenge and probably a bit of a chore having to keep our unruly bunch in check but VT is a joyous place to be and whenever I drop in on other teams forums it always strikes me they do seem very sterile and boring compared to this madhouse.

Danishlad Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I just hope Jack doesnt change his game/ style of play to please Southgate. I remember Bobby Robsen saying just before the World Cup in 1990 that the team needed one ball for Gazza and one for the rest of the team. Gazza didn’t change and neither should Jack. Keep doing what your doing Jack! Never change. ( anyone think he, reads this ?) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Follyfoot Posted October 9, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted October 9, 2020 Not good enough because he doesn’t play Champions League football like Sancho who does it against the very best in the Champions League, When you’re up against the very best you need the very best to play against the very best. After all remember he only plays for Aston Villa. This is on talkSPORT at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My comment was more around how personally fans are taking it. To be fair maybe I’m being a bit selfish in the fact I couldn’t care less about England. I just want him fit and doing the business for Villa. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
