In fairness to them, for once what they promised was actually written so it wasn't clickbaiting. Southgate is definitely the fool here, as he is so often is.

foreveryoung Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 But But, Southgate is the best thing to happen to the England squad in decades. Look how he has made all those players better and much more confident to play for England. No way, any other manager could have got 11 50-100 million pound players to a final beating an old Germany team and drawing Scotland, not a chance!!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southgate made a complete mess of the Euro final, one of the reasons being Jack supposedly wasn't good enough to play a part. Now obviously he's like the second coming of christ cos he plays for City. He's a muppet! Yes I'm triggered again One of the things Southgate talks about in the interview is that he knew Grealish wasn't fit, and he was only really playing games for us in order to be available for England. He was only training for a couple of days at a time, then needed a rest. This is probably the reason he didn't play more, rather than the anti-Villa agenda that's so popular on here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he's anti villa as such and I'm not really sold on the fitness excuse either. He could and should of played a bigger part in the final. I would rather have a not 100% fit Grealish over Mount not doing much for 100 mins. Other than that I do take your points haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Don't watch him every week for city but from what I have seen he's got more freedom tonight, carried the ball from left to right across the midfield more than he has up and down the wing, always looking for something, makes it look very easy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacks realised no one else is really trying to create so has taken the bull by the horns and is now drifting all over the pitch. His teammates not really on the same wavelength. Has had a really geat half and it's the Jack of old we all know too well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 That we'll known goalscorer Jack Grealish... His biggest problem is kane and sterling, every time he gets on the ball both should be darting in to the box but they dont Instead we seem to be trying to recreate the first goal from Saturday, every time Mount or Foden get the ball in the final 3rd the dink over the top is on, really hard ball to pull off England's best chance pretty much every game is well worked wing play followed by a back post tap in, we have the wing play but not always the movement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
