There was talk last week of us bringing in set piece coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he goes to City, he will be playing ahead of Sterling, no doubt Bloody hope that contract rumour is true. What fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dortmund |Talk will have had mass suicides before getting to see Sancho and Bellingham feature as well. I want to moan about Mings not starting if i'm honest. Grealish is twice the player Foden is. Foden has been awful for England every time he has played, as has Sancho even tonight he wasn't at much, lost the ball every time he touched it. Bellingham should be getting more game time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Jack was messing but in an Instagram post he implied that Bellingham supported us. Although again could be banter between Villa and the scum.

MotoMkali Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 2 hours ago, CarryOnVilla said: People getting pissy and not enjoying tonight’s win, just because Jack didn’t play. It’s as ridicules as Blues fans not enjoying the German win because Jack had a hand in the goals. Disagree. It encourages Southgate to play weaker first 11s. And whilst it may not cost us until the final. Italy aren't a team we will beat with 20 minutes of magic. You need sustained excellence and pressure on their goal. And not just that it also doesn't help our chances at the 2022 world Cup if we don't start Jack either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Recircle Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 (edited) At the end of the game last night, during all the handshakes, Southgate put his arm around Grealish and seemed to spend longer talking to him than some of the other England players with subs vests on. Was he telling him to start getting himself mentally prepped to play a key role in the next game (or hopefully two)?

DakotaVilla Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 I think Southgate’s doing just fine. You might not like the man nor his football but to suggest he could be doing better when England have just pretty much got our best ever set of results in a tournament since 66 beggars belief. Jack still has a huge role to play in this tournament in the next two games assuming we beat Denmark. It might be as a starter or it may be as a sub. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shevchenko like most former footballers spends most of his time playing golf and hanging out at football industry events in London - PFA and so on. Not sure if Jack plays golf but imagine they have met a few times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the same and I was thinking he was probably having a chat with him about the decision not to bring him on - I’m not a Southgate fan but he’s shown good awareness this week talking about how to manage forwards who aren’t playing. If you want to keep a happy squad the first people you’re chatting to after today’s win are Jack and Foden as your unused forwards. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southgate knew Jack would have been itching to get on and was likely reassuring him that he was rested because he wasn't needed and he's still recovering. Again, I have zero doubt that Jack comes on at 60 minutes if it's 0-0 or we're down. Edited July 4, 2021 by ThunderPower_14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I hate his football, it is a pretty remarkable thing to still yet to concede going into the semifinals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yearly income etc. Not so much about success, it's your brand. Of course trophies is a good icing on the cake but it isn't what defines you as a big club in the modern game. Man Utd, Liverpool, Real Madrid are your so called mega clubs. They generate an absurd amount of money. In modern terms we are probably a mid sized club along the likes of Everton, Newcastle. For one, Grealish hasn't played for a " bigger " club yet, England isn't a club per se. As for us being a big club, trust me, In my eyes, we are. I would never use the word " mega" but you can't dismiss our historical importance to the game of competitive football, you only have to feel the atmosphere of a packed Villa Park to know how big we are. That's why so many players say it's their favourite ground to play in. That, my friend, is because it's a big club.
