MotoMkali Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 I think we should play jack as a false 9. Should keep his production up whilst allowing him to better influence both sides of the pitch and minimising his defensive responsibilities. I think we are playing with watkins as a a target man which isn't working we need to give him balls to run onto. You could argue if Jack was in this role it would suit him but I think he could more easily get us out from under pressure because when the ball goes up to him he can either beat his man or win a free kick. Also if he is up top it forces teams to either risk leaving him against 2 slower cbs who couldn't recover if he beat them or keep a full back in reserve to guard against him.

So nonchalant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He completely flat footed the keeper who had a good game as well it looked a fluke because he flat footed the GK, a GK mistake because he's anticipating a cross, its a funny looking goal, not particularly smashed in, was right in tight on the post though so even if you say the GK should have saved it I don't think it would ever have been an easy comfortable save but no doubt when someone from Liverpool or utd smashes a ball 50 yards over a GK who fell over it'll be a wonder goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He completely flat footed the keeper who had a good game as well It’s cuz it was a consolation goal in the last kick of the game. The best goals are normally the ones that count for something. It was a lovely goal but I understand why it’s not getting a lot of attention. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Kane, Mbappe, Muller, Grealsih and Jonathan Bamba who is a very good winger for lille. He is rapid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 not often I would agree with Arry Quote Harry Redknapp has told Off The Ball that he does not believe England manager Gareth Southgate is keen on Jack Grealish. The former under-21 Republic of Ireland international declared for England in September 2015, but Redknapp believes that Southgate may not be looking to use him. Redknapp on Jack Grealish "I don't think that Gareth fancies Grealish. It is his opinion and it is a game of opinions. "I think that the worst thing to happen to Gareth, possibly, was Grealish coming here. I think he has had Grealish thrown at him, thrown at him, thrown at him. "I don't think he is a big Grealish fan. He played him the other week against Wales, got man-of-the-match, and played ever so well. "I think that Gareth would have been quite happy if he had had a nightmare and then - bosh, that's the end of Grealish. "That is the feeling that I get - I don't think that he is for Gareth. "The lad [Dean] Smith there has done well, and made him captain, made him feel important, and he runs the games for Villa. "He is a special talent that can do things that other people can't do. I am a big fan of his, personally. I love people that can play - and he can play." Glenn Hoddle on creativity "I think we have got a little group of players like that. I love Grealish and feel that Grealish should be given his opportunity. "When you are looking at players like Grealish, James Maddison, Phil Foden, and Mason Mount. There is one position and they are all going to be battling for it. "Whoever [comes out of that] has to feel comfortable, they have to feel at home like Grealish does with his club. "When he plays - or any of them play - for England, they are going to feel like there are chains on them. They are not sure if the manager fancies them. "If you have these special players, as they do on the continent or South America, you have to let him go out in the training ground and on the pitch without any chains. "That is very difficult when you don't have them day-in and day-out." Does Jack fit in? The last words go to Harry. "In the long-term, I don't think that he is quite in Gareth's plans. I don't think that he fits what he is looking for," Redknapp concludes. https://www.otbsports.com/soccer/jack-grealish-1099417?fbclid=IwAR0qBQW-uDT4ZhRIM-rrc6l0pkaZBoXVbVp2R_QozsitYNpNgHzrSDX_YfQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 What none of them will say is that there is one position and they're all battling for it because he has 5 at the back and 2 holding midfielders A good manager would find a way to get more than 1 of them on the pitch, especially when it's England's biggest problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to see Grealish & Maddison play together (won't happen under Southgate I wouldn't have thought!) as the two of them would be like Jack and Ross v Liverpool BUT better. They are good mates as well so the chemistry would be fantastic. Gareth would cringe at the thought of his own spice boys though!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
