Jas10 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 27 minutes ago, Dave-R said: Pep said a longtime ago that he would have Jack under him in a heartbeat. He then said the one problem is that no one will ever be able to offer Aston Villa enough money to cover his loss because he's just worth to much to the club. Pep is absolutely right as well, we have a player who's value far exceeds that of money, money is worth nothing compared to what Jack does, what he's capable of and what he brings to a team. Jack is at Villa for Life and wouldn't it be great if that was the case and somewhere along the line he were even Coach of Villa. I believe that he knows how much he's been held back by the likes of Southgate that he would know which talent to look for and he'd never pull those kind of stunt if he were the man in charge. He would be a great Coach because he's been through the industry's rough times, pushed through and knocked the walls down and is continuing to do so. You usually find those that have been through lessons and learned from them that they are good teachers Inthe end because they have had the experience of bad times. He's a great player and someday I think will be a great teacher. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villarocker Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 The proposed team fails to feature Jack yet again. I guess he will only get some game time if the team is struggling to break through the Danes and need a goal. Jack would get into any other nation's team with his talent. It must be so frustrating for the lad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdman Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 49 minutes ago, John said: Agree 110%. Southgate has been fortunate to date, because the players that he has picked have got the results, that have kept the flak off him. It is unbelievable that Jack has not started a game and didn't even get a few minutes off the bench with the last game already won. I suspect that the only minutes Jack might get, is if we are behind with the minutes ticking away. I hope I'm wrong but his omissions look increasingly personal, rather than tactical. It's not personal. It's Southgates style and preferred system. Its unfortunate for Jack and all of us who want to see him play but if we go on to win the tournament its all justified isn't it. England havent been really tested yet in my opinion and so I think this is where Jack can play his part. I would be surprised if Denmark or Italy didn't give England a really tough game and perhaps these games will truly be the acid test of Southgates tactics. That's not taking anything away from what the manager and players have achieved so far though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got to admit I was surprised by that. They're above Chelsea, Liverpool and Leicester on results in 2021. I believe since Boxing Day they are 2nd in the form table Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post darrenm Posted July 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 7, 2021 I can see that Southgate will turn to Grealish if he needs him maybe because he's not fully fit or doesn't suit the system(??) etc but the problem there is Grealish doesn't do well as a sub. He grows into games. So I can see this huge weight of expectation for him to get us out of the shit with 20 mins to go and maybe getting 10 touches. Then it'll be Southgate vindicated because Grealish is obviously rubbish. It worked against Germany but he almost seems to be held to a higher standard. Won the Germany game for us with 7 touches creating 2 goals but still, Sancho did a dribble so is incredible. I just hope that when he's inevitably called upon to rescue us, he's able to instantly get into the game. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not taking anything away from what the manager and players have achieved so far though. I agree its not personal but as Mourinho said its favouritism. Southgate does not trust Grealish to start because he doesn't do enough off the ball. But when you have two holding midfield players plus a strong presser like Mount you can afford to pick a Grealish who will create more chances than anybody else. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
