Part of me thinks he's purposely not picking in hope he'll kick up a fuss and force a move to United Leaving shouldn't be an option. He's only went and called up Kalvin Phillips.

Lord Willard Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Us playing him as a LW made him lose a place in midfield? It's the only reason I can think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 if I was Grealish I would just tell him stick it - does he still have the option to play for Ireland ? - perhaps he should threaten to take that up - that would really turn the tables on Southgate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sparrow1988 Posted August 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 25, 2020 16 minutes ago, dudevillaisnice said: Yeah l did and he was spot on in telling them Villa have provided English players from downing etc and even referenced Mings being in the squad as a reason he doesn’t need to leave Villa when they tried to make out he did need to perhaps leave. I like Gabby on Talksport. When everyone else is saying that Jack needs to move, he tells them quite clearly that Villa is a big club and that it has no effect on being picked for England. Asks why would he leave and so on. It's actually a nice change to have someone fighting the club's corner in the media for a change. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I'm baffled how Philips gets in and has never played a prem match, whereas Jack has just completed his best ever prem season and misses out, imagine not choosing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubbs Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Joke of a squad. Same old Southgate, a poor squad in terms of midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Someone will probably have Covid in the squad which may just open up an opportunity for him. Still a disgraceful decision mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommo_b Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 KALVIN PHILLIPS?! Southgate you are a JOKE! Thought Grealish needed to play in the Premiership before he got picked.... why’s Kalvin been picked than?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobbit Feet Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Just seen a interview with Graeme Souness who was not happy and very critical and said it was Paul Pogba’s fault Jack isn’t in the England squad. Disgraceful from Pogba there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might have been crap the last 10 years, but we're probably still quite high on that list. You can probably say a lot about this club, but the notion you need to move on to be an England international, that's one thing that simply is load of fecking shite. I'm pretty sure we still are top of that list. If we're not we must be very close Edit: as of November 2019 we were joint second with Liverpool (74) behind Spurs (78) Edit Edit: Wikipedia still has Spurs as the highest with 78 Edited August 25, 2020 by Stevo985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Mount also get called into an England squad without playing in the Prem? Could be wrong but I think he got selected after going back to Chelsea from his loan spell at Derby before he had made an appearance for Chelsea. Just goes to show the line of "must have premier league experience" is complete horse shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really weird selection, I'm really struggling to find any logic in it which just leaves personal dislike sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from maybe Foden? I don't know enough about Ward - Prowse or Rice to pass judgement. He should be in there over many of them - e.g. Mount, Ward Prowse, one of Winks/Rice/Phillips (we don't need 3 DMs for two games against fairly mediocre opponents). I wanted to see Foden and Grealish in the same squad. The forwards is probably fair enough but for me there's too many of them. We've got seven forwards and only six midfielders. I think probably Tammy was a bit lucky to get in seeing as he got dropped from Chelsea's first team for Giroud. And of course no natural left backs - I imagine Mings will actually play there which will be odd. The only way Jack might get in is if someone pulls out but even then I don't trust Southgate to do the right thing. He definitely doesn't need to leave Villa to get in, it's obvious it's a personal thing against him or Southgate just doesn't have a clue how to use him because he's tactically inept.
