Quite disciplined and following his instructions no doubt. Still one of the stand outs regardless. Thats Its just a useful workout . Rather see him put on his best show when it matters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwi1890 Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 The amount of people who told me “that Grealish is sh*t” Im texting them all now to ask if he still is, they laughed at when I said he’d make the England squad they laughed at me when I said he’d be a nominee for pfa player of the season , “no way a premier league player” one day things will be on the other hand and we as villa fans can belittle their players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vreitti Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Anyone else get a sense he's been told to 'tone it down' somewhat? He really isn't at his best with the handbrake on. Think it's unlikely he'll be starting games. Southgate is a fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought he was poor personally, can't remember him playing so badly since the first few games of project restart. Still though, produced two moments of magic and looked England's most creative player on the night. Just highlights how much natural ability he has Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 (edited) Interesting interview after the match, no surprise at all they picked him to speak to. Not shin splints, but also not something he is over. Wonder if he'll be managing it like this (70 minute games?) for the rest of his career... Either way, instrumental in everything that we did that was good. Going to shine at the Euros Edited June 2, 2021 by MrBlack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 He wasn't at his best, and England weren't very good as a team, but he was probably the best player on the pitch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 I didn't think he was good, commentators on BEIN are praising him, echoing other comments from some on here about pundits. Are we spoilt? Imagine when he is actually in full flow? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Read on BBC that he was icing the leg afterwards. Hope this injury gets better soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picicata Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 An average game from Jack. Still the best player on the pitch though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the team were going all out guns blazing because its a warm up and not necessary. Perhaps... dunno but for me there's more than a few of them playing with too much fear. Nothing new really. Unnecessary pressure has always been England's biggest enemy. Southgate really doesn't help. He epitomizes fear and weakness. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered whether he struggled against weaker opposition. As in either he cant get up for the game as much and or doesnt put everything into it, because it's like playing a championship side. The only game he played for england similar to how he does for villa, was against Belgium. Which is like playing a top premier league team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 (edited) The way he created England's goal was an illustration on why you can't just use assists and 'xgs' to judge players. If it wasn't for his pass in the first place and then his driving run into the box there wouldn't have been a goal.

Wainy316 Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Interesting in his interview that he said the injury isn’t shin splints. Stopped short of explaining exactly what it was though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
