The Fun Factory Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Well done Jack. Could have done with more than 15 minutes though. Strange formation, Southgate should have started either Jack or Mount from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the upside the lad that came on with 15 minutes to go looked decent beating a couple of men and driving into the box Who have Southgate’s England actually beaten of note? I can only think of the 3-2 victory against Spain in the ‘nations league’. Any half decent oppo team and they’ve struggled. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GENTLEMAN Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 He really is a special player. I was worried I was inherently bias because of the Villa. But you seen that tonight, 15 mins and he’s another level. If he was at a team challenging the upper echelon he would be considered one of the best in the world. Just glides past players. Best like Gonna shine even brighter with the Villa this season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 (edited) Concerned that Sterling Rashford and Kane are the first three names on the teamsheet when fit. Jack will then be behind Sancho (fk knows why) as the first sub choice. Greenwood will no doubt return being given preferential treatment too. And Foden and Mount seem to be first choice in the attacking midfield spots. I just can't see him getting in the team again unless there are numerous injuries. The only stroke of luck is his court appearance has been delayed beyond the third round of fixtures in November so at least any guilty verdict there won't hinder his chances this side of new year. Deserves to start the next game, having not pulled out for some mythical reason, having not breached the team rules (or indeed the law of the country they were staying in), and having demonstrated the only creativity of the 11 people playing tonight. But you know he won't. Edited September 8, 2020 by MrBlack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack could have cut it back to him if he curled his run to the edge of the penalty box instead of moving further in it. You can't blame TAA there, he's not played with a world class player before 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 The mask has slipped over the last week for all opposition fans. So many were going mad on social media for Grealish to come on. Blues fans, Leeds fans, Wolves fans all moaning we needed Grealish. We knew you all loved him really you Representatives for Wellingborough. Just wait until he wins England a game! Not sure Southgate will change much sadly. Henderson, Ox-Chamberlain, Barkley and Rashford plus Foden and Greenwood to all come back into the squad. Jack should be there. He should the alternative option. He has something no one else does. If he matches last season's form I think it'll be enough, but that is a bloody high level. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 England hardly score a goal from open play against any semi competant defence e.g. not Panama. He should be starting. Actually from the highlights he easily could've played on the left given Sterling was drifting in from that side and picking up the ball centrally and at least trying to slide in some balls for Kane. ChristIan Eriksen making a complete mug of Eric Dier in the first half summed up England for me, they simply don't have that sort of quality centrally which makes the cold shoulder treatment of Jack all the more bizarre as within 10 games I reckon he'd be crucial to England's set up. Guess that's earmarked for Foden but he ain't walking back into the 11 for a while and I think he's better a little deeper anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 10 years I've been following this thread. I am sitting here bathing in a warm glow of admiration for Jack and happiness for the entire Grealish family tonight. As a fan of AVFC I share a tiny, tiny part of their pride. I really believe he is a talent beyond Beckham and as good as England have had since Gazza. Good on you Jack - as Villa fans we know you are one of us and we are proud to have you, and we know we are lucky to have you. God speed - we look forward to watching you play the beautiful game with the grace and elegance that you bring every time you step on the pitch. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicho Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 He looked dangerous last night. Mount played well when he came on but why bring him on to then change his position. Surely if Southgate wanted to bring on a winger he brings on the player he thinks can play winger (Grealish) and then Mount into centre mid. I really don’t want to adhere to the opinion that he has something against him but he went out of his way to not pick him for the squad and out of his way to play him for less time last night. Anyway, great to see him get a cap here’s to the next 4 he will get in his whole career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I always get a bit emotional seeing Villa players when they play for England the first few times. I could feel myself welling up when I saw him coming on. Well done, Jack, on getting there: let’s build that villa contingent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GENTLEMAN Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Where do people see Jack’s position next season? May be in the minority but I prefer him off the left. I think he naturally gravitates toward there anyway. I know people say central has more influence but he has total influence over Villa play anyway, and he finds pockets of space out there and cuts inside. He tends to roam too. Which is OK if LCM covers, not to expose Target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-R Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 9 hours ago, The_Steve said: Up until that happened with Jack and he went through a few players and were stopped by a three man sandwich, you just really have to say the match was boring as F***. England have gone back to there boring ways and southgate is a manager who wont give Jack much chances. Imagine the raves if he had of scored the winner off of that move last night SG wouldnt of been able to say no. SG is a turd if he doesnt start Jack in next game, all the signs are there to play him when the rest of the left's are playing like boy scouts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
