useless Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Grealish came on in the last game to help England beat Germany, before today he'd assisted four of England's last six goals and won a penalty for another, he's had several man of the match performances, he's one of the best players in the premier league, he'd get into any team in the world football, he's better than Mason Mount. it's hardly surprising that Villa fans think he should be starting, frankly I find it staggering that there are some Villa fans that come on here and post as if those that think he should be in the team are somehow in the wrong or 'biased', it tells me that even now there are somehow Villa fans that don't realize how good he is. Also us beating Ukraine doesn't prove anything, no one suggested that England couldn't win today without Grealish. In the end I was glad that he didn't come on, wouldn't want him risking an injury in a game that was already won. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 If Grealish was at Man City he'd play most games he'd be perfectly suited to them, he's objectively one of the best players in the league, nothing to do with Villa bias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I'm waiting for " yeah but if Grealish played it could of been 7 " Any minute now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I wonder what Shevchenko was saying to Jack at the end of the game. Probably something like, " thank feck you never came on as it probably would have been double figures ". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPower_14 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I think he's probably still carrying an injury and will be used as an impact sub. He obviously wasn't needed today. I'm certain he'd have been the first change if it was 0-0 at 60 minutes. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Protect him. Thing is there is always a reason for not selecting Jack. He only at a championship club. He doesn't score enough goals I've got sterling in that position He's not fully fit... Incoming: don't change a winning team Had Jack started every game - I still think we would be sitting in the semi finals now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But let's say another player comes off the bench at 0-0 has a hand in one , assists another - then said player starts next game .......unless your surname is Grealish. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the Dortmund fans before this match? There’s no big conspiracy. Jack just isn’t the centre of his world and that’s fine. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post villarule123 Posted July 3, 2021 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted July 3, 2021 People need to get over it now. I found it very frustrating at the start of the Euros, but he's had his moments, so has everyone else in the team, we're winning comfortably and he will no doubt have a say in the upcoming game(s) Let's just enjoy the fact we're finally on our way to winning something. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Why are there people rushing on here to claim some kind of victory against those that believe Grealish should be playing just because England have won? No one has suggested that England can't win or wouldn't win today without him. It's not just about today, he's England's best player other than Kane and yet somehow has barely played more than 90 minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grealish took ages to even get in the squad. GS said he wasn't going pick championship players - then picked Kalvin Philips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thug Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 1 hour ago, JAMAICAN-VILLAN said: Why should he be automatically starting every game as a relatively new member of the squad? How long did it take Sancho to get a game muchless a start? That Sterling to Kane goal just now must have wound some of you right up You have this rather strange habit of answering with randomness. Did I say that he should start every game? I said that he didn’t start even when his shins were fine. your reply to that Is ‘why should he start every game’? Who said he should start every game?? What are you actually going on about? And wtf has being a relatively new member of the squad got to do with anything? Philips is a relatively new member, starts every game - but that’s irrelevant. He’s playing well. To make it easier for you, I said that even without bad shins, he wouldn’t be playing Nothing about needing to start every game, and nothing about him being an established member of the squad. By all means disagree about the shins, but don’t attribute stuff that I didn’t say to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nepal_villan Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Think some here just do not appreciate how loaded England are. Southgate is not choosing the likes of Trez and El Ghazi over Grealish! Furthermore, you hardly ever see teams consistently playing sexy football and steam-rolling their way to titles in tournament football. Sides tend to be much more cautious and pragmatic in their play as one slip-up and you are out. France were drab in the group stages and against Belgium in the last World Cup. Portugal the most boring team at the previous Euros... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Into the semis and still drumming up the non selection of the villa lad. There's a time and a place. It's just frustrating and it doesn't seem like your coming from a place of objectivity. The point for his selection is totally fine. Highlighting minutes after a great team performance and into the semis. Seems negative and agenda driven. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
