Jareth Posted July 1, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted July 1, 2021 Can't say I like Southgate and can't help but feel he's had some very good luck - but the way England approach games means Jack is just one specialist part of the team rather than the main man as he has been for us. But his sub appearance against Germany was different, I think GS trusts him now, so I expect we will see a lot more of him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that but the Telegraph are reporting that Southgate is concerned about players on a yellow. Poor reporting or poor manager? Or both?

Makes more sense for it to be the Quarters but then 5 games 1 yellow these days its hard to avoid that 2nd! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laughable Chimp Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 1 hour ago, Panto_Villan said: That's got very little to do with what I said though. I agree Grealish should start over Saka, as his crossing and ability on the ball made the difference in the last game when he came on. But there's about two pages of posts here and countless more in the Euros threads calling Sterling a donkey whereas if Southgate had played Watkins on the wing in the place of Sterling and he'd put in exactly the same performances people would rightly be saying he was undroppable after three goals in four games and talking about him getting the Golden Boot if we go all the way. The fact Grealish is good doesn't have to mean all the other England players are bad. Both Grealish and Sterling have justified their selections, and hopefully Grealish will be a starter going forwards. Glad someone said it lol. I feel Sterling has been scapegoated a lot both here and other places and I feel like a big part of is due to how so many people wanted to see Grealish play instead. Kind of like how Mount got stick earlier because people felt like Southgate was overly focused on him over Grealish(even though I'm fairly sure the origin of the meme was completely made up.) People say Sterling is wasteful but I always think that that's a overrated critique. It doesn't matter how wasteful or inefficient a player is, if his final output is still great in spite of it, it doesn't matter. And Sterling's final output this euros has been far better than any other attacker in the squad bar arguably Jack. I feel like Lyon fans probably said similar about Traore before we bought him.

Hank Scorpio Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 I am in no way ITK so take this as you want but my manager does actually live on the same road as Grealish in Barnt Green. He just messaged me the following: It's rubbish about his house being up for sale, he isn't selling even if he gets the move to Manchester. He will rent there as part of the move. So....yeah. To clarify my boss knows nothing or doesn't care about football so has no agenda, he just said he thought I might care more then he does. Again not ITK just passing some words on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you put your house up for sale before a deal has been reached? Hear it a lot, is it even a thing?
