Martinez, Heaton, Steer, Kalinic... so 5th goalkeeper, but probably 3rd choice? Either way it’s obviously nonsense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted November 20, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted November 20, 2020 All this talk about resting Grealish. In The Championship they play 2 games a week for most of the season. No one was asking for him to be rested then. I know he's traveled but he also only played 60 and 70 minutes in two of those games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 We won't be resting players tomorrow, we played England U20s on Tuesday and Watkins played for us and presumably other first teamers as well, so Smith isn't concerned with players being tired. Any changes will be either tactical or forced through injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep i think there is a clear definition in how england play with sterling + rashford and then grealish + foden the first is pace in to the channels, kick and rush, smash and grab football, the latter is try and play football pass and move dominate games i think there will be a demand that this england group is capable of playing good attacking football and if southgate has any sense he’ll know that the Lacey attack makes for better sub options, in the games vs the Czechs and Scotland we should be looking for ball players like grealish not runners im aware that there’s some harsh pigeon holing in there and an on form sancho arguably can play both styles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may well go Jack and Sterling, with Sancho, Mount and Rashford in reserve. If not he will go with Sterling and Rashford. Whatever he does If he plays with 3 central defenders he is an idiot. We have 5 top class number 10's, but he refuses to play with a 10, and instead an extra defender because our defenders aren't top class. It's the most backwards logic imaginable. Jack, Mount, Foden, Maddison, Barkley. We also have 4 quality defensive midfiders in Henderson, Rice, Phillips, and Ward-Prowse. We have excellent attacking fullbacks, top class wingers and strikers. This England generation has been bred to attack! I also think this England team may well be better without Kane. Not that he isn't our best striker, but for me pace in the centre forward position constantly looking to get between the lines and in behind suits Jack more than a selfish fake 10 that Kane is trying to be these days. If you pick Jack unless he is there as a 10 with pace outside of him on both sides he simply does work well with Kane. Jack is the Best English player of his generation. Problem is the rest of the country don't realise this yet. The players do though. And Kane and those Tottenham lads are definitely feeling threatened going by their behaviour in the games. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I think today would have been the perfect game to give Jack a rest, I'm worried about him playing in all games for England, combined with the very congested playing schedule this season without a proper break at the summer and him playing so much last season. While I thin Brighton is much better than their league position, this isn't a must must win game for us. Perfect for other players, who we will need during the season, to get some minutes.

villa4europe Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Disagree, after the last week there's a buzz around him and he'll be as high a kite, Smith might have to manage him during the game (mcginn will be worse) Would be madness to rest him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was average and better than most but was clearly knackered which most of us knew was going to happen but still won free kicks regardless. Doug was much worse than Jack. Trez very good. Brighton were great and capitalised on our weak defensive showing then simply parked the bus. Also I should add I think mental tiredness too.. his decision making was poor. Needs a good rest is all.
