He is the most inform player on that team cannot believe he is on the bench. To be fair, he picked the arguably most out of form player in Maguire... But, I've just watch Southgate's interview re Jack and Gazza, where he says "I've played with Gascoigne, Scholes, Rooney, Beckham...who were phenomenal, won Champions Leagues, etc...". What is this muppet trying to say? "I've played with players who are better and accomplished more than I've got at my disposal so my view is more important than anyone else's"? I'd be pretty peeved hearing my manager say that, let alone if I was Jack. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Being England manager has never been easier with so many talented players at our disposal. Southgate making it look like its a difficult job. That team and formation is nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southgate is holding grealish back at international level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted October 11, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted October 11, 2020 Its going to be embarrassing for Southgate once Jack gets on the pitch tonight! TBH it good for us that he is so stubborn and lacking in innovativeness, in that it will protect Jacks leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Glad Jack ain’t starting but that team and formation is so bizarre. The Belgium team doesn’t even look all that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant stand the bloke, used to love him when he played for us, that soon changed and the way he is with Grealish makes me want to throttle the guy. There is no defending Southgate in how he is with Grealish. The only thing we can wish for is: England do bad and Southgates head is called for or there is a national outcry that forces those in charge of England to force SG,'s hand to put Grealish in the first eleven. Neither I think will happen but if they did I think it would be the first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom13 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Southgate is a really strange guy. Answers every question nervously. Cannot wait till he's gone. Kinda hoping as it's only Nations League that we get spanked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He never had any confidence in his own opinion and constantly looked at the other pundits for reassurance. How he's national team manager is beyond me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 He's a fool because he's putting more pressure on himself. Another poor performance and the media story will be, why didn't he pick Jack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will get questioned for the bizarre tactics and such a defensive selection though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would choose anyone for England so long as they Coached or managed properly without any of the BullCrap that Southgate has in him over Grealish. There is no need for anyone to be like that in the job they are in, you use everything and everyone at your disposal without holding Grudges or any secret hate against people, especially players. Let's face it a soldier doesnt turf one bullet out of his 12 mag clip only holding all but one, all because he doesnt like it. The Soldier uses every bullet in his mag because they do the job he wants regardless of how he feels about each and every bullet and what they can do in the world. No matter what these players are Southgates ammunition and without that ammunition he cant do his job properly if he chooses to dislike his tools. Just so happens that Grealish is different and better quality ammunition and Southgate is choosing not to equip his guns with this quality ammo and he will have gun jams the lot if he continues down this path, till hes killed by his own ammunition because it was poor choice.
