This is exactly where we see heading in my opinion. Sick of seeing excuses offered about players not yet fit as well. Isn't that true of Denmark and Iceland too? Belgium didn't seem to struggle with the same handicap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was like it the whole game. It was bad. Really, really bad. I was cheering on the Danes until Grealish came on. We were so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Only2McInallys Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Jack looked like he belongs at this level.He has always had talent but yesterday I saw confidence with a bit of arrogance which all great players need.He did more in his short cameo than Sancho did in 2 games. Phillips who I think is a good player looked like a rabbit in the headlights especially in the first half.To give a cap to someone with no premier league experience is crazy.How comparable is the championship to international football? The good news for us is Jack looked sharp and if he performs like he did last year Southgate is going to be under a lot of pressure to pick him again. Jacks best hope of a prolonged run in the England side is not by moving club but when Southgate is inevitably sacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAA made a run for him but it was the wrong one, he darts towards the box and actually the defender, he could have done with just slowing down and peeling off to the edge of the box to give himself more space, especially considering he was likely going to hit it 1st time left footed - another viewing, he runs in the centre stutters and takes a side step to his left, he should have made his original run to where he actually ends up and I think he gets the ball I do of course have all my UEFA licenses so im not talking bollocks and telling maybe the best RB in the world how to play football...

skarroki Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 He's got the looks, confidence/arrogance of Beckham at the same age and I love to see it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll get shanked by Belgium (obvs Jack won’t play) and hopefully someone at the FA will grow a pair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with the rest of your post though It's funny how we see games differently isn't it. I, too, though he really struggled. Regularly giving the ball away and when he didn't give it away, it was a simple 5/10 yard pass. I think, however, it didn't help him having virtually no options to go forward! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I was focusing more on the relative nature of his play compared with the rest of the useless players on show. Certainly he got the highest rating from the neutrals on BBC. But even that wasn't high so you could well argue he played poorly and be right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted September 9, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 9, 2020 Philips played well for a DM, the team however was poor , we could have Messi in it and even he would look shit. Jack is the best English attacking midfield player in the premier League and the stats prove it. Southgate is the issue, not the players . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Willard Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 What do the FA see in him? Honestly. Belgium beat Iceland 5-1, we scraped a 1-0 win and drew to Denmark. Bloke needs sacking before he ruins another generation. The tactics were god awful last night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
