Don't shit talk on their social media or you're just like Samatta's followers I'm sure Jack will get plenty of minutes in this tournament Agree, just like you respect Dean Smith’s choices all the time. 6 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted June 13, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted June 13, 2021 The massive difference between us and Samatta followers is that Samatta very obviously was not good enough for the Premier League whereas Grealish is very obviously a hugely capable International footballer for England. Moaning about his inclusion or no is not the same thing at all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Follyfoot Posted June 13, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) My youngest son just came out with this analogy regarding Southgate and Grealish. It’s like you stop for a beggar who is begging for food and give him a bacon roll but he starts to eat dirt.

For me it's not just about Grealish...if he puts Trippier at left back when we have Chilwell and Shaw who are both quality left backs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will give Southgate a pass on Mount as he would be in my England team too.....but I see Mount and Jack having varying attributes....not the same for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I think Sterling has been awful for England bar two or three games. Gets so much hype and never delivers for England. Shouldnt even be in the squad on his form over the last year. But im hardly surprised with Southgates decisions. Jack on the other hand has been the best player on 95% of the pitches he’s graced this season, yet starts on the bench. Lets see how it plays out. Just win England and lets have a performance regardless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdman Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I think we all know Jack will be called upon sooner rather than later. He'll be Southgates get out of jail card. Get behind the team and good luck to Tyrone who according to rumours will be starting! I don't even know how people know the team already which is ridiculous!

weedman Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 The thing is even if you accept that you can only play 1 of Jack and Foden, then 1 of Rashford, Sterling and Sancho due to their pace, which is a ridiculous stance in the first place, but IF you accept that, surely Sterling should be bottom of that list of 3 to start?! I'd also put Jack ahead of Foden as its easy to look good in a City team where you only have to worry about your work on the ball, with no other responsibilities whatsoever, but that's probably my own bias coming through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I actually think playing a RB at left back when you have a player like Shaw available is even more ridiculous then keeping Jack on the bench. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Wayne Rooney makes a good case for Jack's selection today in "The Sunday Times Quote When I came through, people compared me to Paul Gascoigne, but I was a completely different player. Now everyone is saying Phil Foden is the new Gazza because of his haircut — but they are looking at the wrong England player. Jack Grealish is the closest thing I’ve seen to Gazza on a football pitch. He has a lot to do to reach Gazza’s levels but his style of play, the way he takes the ball and runs with it in a way that is so awkward to play against, his sheer confidence on the field — it all reminds me of the legend I watched at Everton, and then trained with when I joined their first-team squad. For England, I think Harry Kane is the most important player but Grealish is the one who is going to light up the tournament. He has to play. Just like Gazza, his style is suited to the international game, where moments of inspiration often make the difference. If you’re looking for someone to open a team up with a bit of magic then Grealish is the one who can do it for Gareth Southgate’s side. He attracts defenders, draws fouls and wins free kicks in dangerous areas. He creates chances and scores goals too. Foden is a top player, a footballer who — as you see at Manchester City — will link play up, pass and move and can dribble too. But it’s Grealish who commits defenders more, dragging them out of position, which will create space for other players. If I were Southgate, I would play Grealish and Foden. There’s no need to choose between them. I’d get Mason Mount on the pitch too and let those talents play with freedom. The last thing England should do with the attacking players they have — and with Harry Maguire out — is sit back. I think what we’re all hoping for at this tournament is for England to go on the front foot; what you don’t want against Croatia is a negative performance and an attempt to nick a 1-0 win. Because of the personnel at Southgate’s disposal, his side are at their best when taking the game to the opposition.

Popular Post JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted June 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) The way you lot carry on, you would think it was Macedonia, and not England, a team with an embarrassment of attacking riches, and top, TOP players all throughout the squad. Just because the manager doesn't make the selection YOU like, doesn't mean he doesn't rate a player, or that there is a conspiracy, or I might even go as saying it doesn't make him a clown either. Different managers have different tactics ( whether fans like it or not ) and it's about the players, the manager feels most suits their tactics vs. opposition etc, whether rightly or wrongly so. What if they feel Jack would be great to bring on against tired legs? It's a national team, not Aston Villa ffs. I wonder if fans of other clubs ( Dortmund - Sancho? Man City - Foden ? ) etc have tantrums if their player doesn't start, or play as they want. Just because Jack is an outstanding player, doesn't necessarily mean he is the RIGHT player for every system, and team ( This should also be taken into consideration when he is touted for transfers ). There have been times for US, when he has been nullified, similarly to how other top players have been, we need to stop acting like Jack is prime Lionel Messi IMO. If this was Dean Smith, some of you would be blowing your top about the " Disrespect to the manager " etc. I hope you realise, you are no different from the fans you bash, when it comes to this. FYI: doesn't mean I don't think he should start, I personally said I would like to see him and Foden, but still, pretending as if all the other players who may, or not start ahead of him are " shite " is farcical. they are all top, TOP players themselves.
