WallisFrizz Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 I think Southgate will pick him for the squad because he can’t justify dropping him but I don’t think he’ll play him, probably not even for the friendly as he won’t want the pressure to select him for the competitive games as he had before. He’ll be hoping the likes of Foden and Greenwood slot straight back in and the team perform well without Jack, then he can drop him next time. I don’t think it’s a Villa thing, I think he’s just not keen on him. I’d like to see Grealish and Mount (who is also excellent to be fair) have more game time together. I never really understood why Southgate kept spinning it as a choice between the two of them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 I agree it's not a Villa thing Its a not wanting midfielders who want to play actual football thing... He wants the ball in to the fast running front as quickly as possible For that reason maddison also won't get a sniff under him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouUnastanFren Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 League totals so far this season: Mount, Foden, Greenwood, Sancho combined: 3G 3A Grealish on his own: 4G 4A I bet he plays 90 minutes against Ireland and Southgate makes sure to bring up the fact that he played for them at U21 and then 0 minutes in the competitive games.

villa4europe Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 and a problem southgate has which im not sure if its making any news in the UK is that Sancho is still in poor form only played 90 minutes in 2 games, not starting every game, 1 goal and 2 assists, then you throw in his 1 touch of the ball in the Denmark game the discussion will be grealish or mount but the discussion should be no 5 at the back freeing up another CM, not playing 2 holding midfielders which frees up the space for mount and not starting Sancho - he should be starting with grealish, mount, sterling and kane in the 11 - absolutely not a chance that he will though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing with the holding players, its getting ones that can sit defend , but play a bit too, the good ones can. its almost a similar problem we have.....we keep thinking by asking for a holding midfielder, we are ignoring the offensive side, but that is not necessarily so......some of the better deep lying midfielders, actually START the attacks.

Tomaszk Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 That 343 is so horrible. Wonder if he'll let Kane drop off like he has been for Spurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh for a progressive midfield. For me: --------------------- Rice/Phillips ------------------------ --- Henderson/Foden --------------------------------- ---------------------------------- Maddison --------------- Sterling --------------------------------------- Grealish --------------------------- Kane ----------------------------- It would be great to see Maddison and Jack playing together.

villalad21 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 .............Phillips......Henderson.................. .......................Maddison............................. Sterling...............Kane..............Grealish Having said that, in games where they are expected to have less of the ball and want to play on the counter you have to play Rashford.

There shouldn't be any games where we are expected to have less of the ball if we put out a full strength progressive (anti-Southgate) XI?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
