Sterling scoring that will ruin Jack's Tournie Well then you are pretty sad. Covert Villa fans masquerading as England fans, win the game, play really well. Create loads of chances. And still it's " why didn't grealish play " Southgate put the good of the team ahead of any individual. Won the game and played very well. Jack's tournie.

useless Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 When I saw that Grealish wasn't starting it didn't bother me too much as I thought he'd come on for the last thirty or twenty minutes and do enough in that time to make an impact, but am staggered that he wasn't used at all, frankly he's better and should be in ahead of all of Sterling, Mount and Foden, for me Mount whilst a very good player, has become overrated, if you're going to use him as an 8 then fair enough, but as a No.10 Grealish is way better. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had 8 shots. Only 2 good chances sterling fluffed the lines of the other one. And I don't think any of us have said we are England fans. I'm certainly not. I'd rather root for someone entertaining to win the tournament than England. I support the villa lads so I will root for England when they are playing but at no other time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps some us just want to see one of the greatest players ever, play at a major tournament? I couldn't care less about England. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I don’t get it but they won end of the day so can’t really complain. I did kind of want Croatia to score though. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their team is old and decrepit and they didn't bother turning up the intensity at any point. Probably because 2nd or 3rd in the group serves them well for avoiding the group of death for as long as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulberto21 Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I like the idea of Mount playing as an 8 but Phillips and Rice played really well today together. Jack will find it hard to get in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I think Jack may not be fully fit and that he was rested today. Don't forget he played in both friendlies. It's about squad management this. Games coming up thick and fast. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you supporting England or fawning over individuals ? Jack's one of the most enjoyable players to watch. What's wrong with not wanting him to get minutes? I didn't think Sterling was as good as the pundits were saying. He got a goal but apart from the first 20 mins I thought he was useless. Short term yes we won, long term we will be damaged. Also being a Brummie there's an added excitement of wanting Jack to do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Sterling didn't score then Jack would have come on. Just 2 more mins and that would have happened. He was always going to have to play his way into the team and it needed England to play bad without him in the group stages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played unbelievably well. Thought Sterling looked quality, a bit disappointed with Foden. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
