What we're saying is that he's got it in for Grealish specifically. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Did he talk Jack into icing his shins and having an individual training session when he's fit and ready to go? Just for a laugh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southgate has probably told him because Jack asked him where he needed to improve.

The Aston Villa captain has shone in the Premier League this season, sparking rumours he could be set for a big money move to champions Manchester City. Southgate had initially appeared reticent to calling up Grealish, delaying his international debut until September. But the 25-year-old revealed he had an hour-long meeting with the England boss during that first camp to explain how to take his game to the next level. "He's the manager of England so he's obviously going to be a brilliant coach. He's helped my game massively," Grealish said on Wednesday. "At the start of the season I said to him 'what can I improve'. I'm not going to go into too much detail as what we spoke about, but he gave me a few things to work on to try and force my way into the team. I think it's worked, because obviously I've had seven (England) games since." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean if Southgate is picking players on how many goals they score it's no wonder we struggle against intelligent opposition.

Tom13 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Here we go, this was Southgate's not at all basic wisdom: "When I've talked to him about the next level for his game, when he looks at the numbers that Sterling and Rashford as wide players have contributed, he's now starting to do that." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Grealish is a wide playmaker, he's not going to get as many goals as Sterling and Rashford but will almost always contribute more to the team as whole, and be a lot more creative, choosing the best option for an attack much more consistently than Rashford and Sterling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenm Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) FWIW I think you're all wrong. There clearly was something with Southgate where he had an irrational dislike of Grealish with the bizarre comments and reluctance to play him even though it was clear it would massively improve England. Jack kept his head down, said everything Southgate wanted to hear and the charm offensive worked. Right now, the injury is probably the biggest reason he's being held back. If he's still training separately there's good reason to agree with that strategy. It could well be that we need a fit, fresh and frustrated Jack against Portugal in the next round. There's probably also a bit of pulling rank by Southgate because he knows how much clamour there is from everyone for Jack to play. If I was England manager I'd be doing a lot different to Southgate right now. I'd have been building the team around Jack for the past 2 years and telling him to not care if he loses the ball or not, just do what he does for Villa and run at people. But it's not so we'll have to see how Southgate does with the most talented group of players in the tournament and the best England have had for at least 30 years, possibly ever. No pressure, Gareth.

No i don't, and i also don't think Grealish offers what Sterling and Sancho offers. Southgate will pick the team he feels are more likely to win him the game. Grealish will get his chance, it's up to him to grab it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) Added to just reading that, he is training alone, to manage his injury ( The same one which we were told by our club, manager and player himself needed to be watched/managed ). This is surely just another part of the conspiracy by Southgate to not play him. He has probably been sneaking into his bedroom at night and hammering at his shins incessantly with tiny needles, after drugging him unconscious, tucking in Mason Mount, and screaming " Death to the Villa " while doing a Nazi style salute of course.

And have people considered that he’s not your mom, he doesn’t owe you an explanation as to why he’s picking which players where and when. For what it’s worth I want Jack to play, as a Villa supporter and an England fan, but the gnashing of teeth comes across just a wee bit needy. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he gives the media such lovely access they all tickle his balls and don't give him any sort of hard time for this sort of shit. If this was Sherwood or Barton or some other clown (or the player played for Utd instead of Villa) who can't play the press as well, this would be mocked so much more. I don't want Jack changing his game to do anything he's told by this wally. He should at least have some balls and say he doesn't like him as a player. He can't do what he wants. Nail his colours to the mast and say he prefers Lingard or Rashford as footballers. Why bother lying for three years? Championship football, form, goals...blah blah. Is that video edited to bits, or is he that stupid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
