Recircle Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Euro mini stat attack (worth being reminded of, even if it's already been posted): Grealish finished second on England's assists list (behind Luke Shaw, who played 403 more minutes than Jack). Only three players across all teams achieved the same number of assists in fewer played minutes. (Jack ultimately racked up fewer playing minutes than Tyrone Mings.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only question is which number will Leo wear? No I haven't had my sanity pills and I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Can’t wait for Jack to sign his new deal. It’s almost worth signing back up to Twitter to wind the plastic city/utd/arse fans up. Well, maybe not, but I’m sure plenty will. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will probably play another season with us to see where we are going as a club before committing to anything. If we manage to finish in the top 6, or reach Europe he will probably commit to us. If we don't and finish 10th-11th he will probably be off next summer. No ones listing anymore................................Italian fan. It won't be forgotten!!

Dave-R Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 So I come home from my Course where I find out Jack Grealish our captain is all of a sudden being called a bad guy for apparently throwing Gareth KnobGate under the bus for this so called penalty decision. I say good on you Jack, bout time someone spoke up against the internet prats and management of that Farce and there failings to get shit done right. If our country spent less damn time accusing one n other, or behaving like prats, even just doing things the right way without making scapegoats of others, then players like Jack wouldn't feel they have to defend themselves. I just don't see any togetherness as a country after the Euros like many are suggesting there is. I see all sorts of problems rising again from the Days of Maggie Thatcher, to racism and Hooliganism making a comeback in public eye. Wembley showed how weak and fragile our system is and people know it. Have even seen reporters typing up there media rubbish and blaming stewards failing to stop a horde of fans breaking through the turnstiles,to put it bluntly it isn't the stewards fault it's the company's doing the plans for events, Simply put cost came before safety. We haven't learned any lessons since the Manchester bombing. Your not even allowed to put your hands on anyone if your a steward, you have to be part of an ejection team and to be part of that team you need an SIA licence which alot of stewards may not have. I read a story about someones old pops being hurled to the floor and trampled on, sickening really. Anyway I've gone of track abit but i think the internet does my head in when this circle of blame keeps going round n round as it has done against the players. Nobody above the players seem to be accepting responsibility strangely enough, no body is holding there head up are they and taking some of the heat off these players, it's really sad to see the weight of all this is being aimed at players.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure he threw him under a bus. He categorically said that Southgate had got every decision right. He responded to the Roy Keane message 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straggler Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Fans have agendas shocker. People are apparently unhappy that Grealish spoke out and "threw Southgate under the bus" but are perfectly happy for Southgate to stay quiet and by doing so allow Grealish to go under the bus. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People do have agendas. In this instance though no one has thrown anyone under a bus. Gate had already said on TV that he decided who would be taking the pens and the reasons why (based on the metrics from practicing them). Jack said he volunteered to take one and was due to take the next one. Absolutely all fine and respectful all round. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we don't know if he's determined to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a bit down about the behaviour of football fans over the last couple of days. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I'm assuming just like clubs, England have a " Board ", would that be the FA? Wonder if they'' be doing enquiries about the lineups and so on? Whilst Southgate obviously knows to set up a team defensively, will they be suggesting to him, that he needs to better utilise the embarrassment of attacking riches in the squad. Evolve the style, or get rid? With more subs allowed in International Football, a dynamic manager would relish the chance to rotate and interchange those players IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't really argue that he didn't rotate those players though, I mean over the course of the tournament Grealish, Saka, Sancho, Rashford, Foden and Mount all had minutes playing alongside Kane and Sterling. I don't think the FA will give a shit about style when we've reached a semi and a final in consecutive tournaments, and Southgate has consistently brought the fans together for the tournament, is well liked by just about everyone in football. I think the style will stay roughly the same moving forward and whatever attacking options we have will have to fit into the LW ST or RW roles. For this tournament it was Kane, Sterling and A N Other. Next tournament it could be Grealish, Kane and Saka, who knows, but I think its unlikely he's going to change a winning formula and even more unlikely the people in charge would want him to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
