We haven't been in a final since 66, has it always been top teams that knocked us out. We've accomplished something we've never done in my lifetime and most of the generation above me. And yet we're inventing stuff because our favourite villa player had to sacrifice for the team. I said nothing about Jack I was just commentating on the Southgate inferred genius and getting things right. I think he’s been lucky with fixtures and strength of opposition so far. With the talent at his disposal and the quality of teams faced so far, playing at home 5 out of 6 matches, everything has gone his way so far that he shouldn’t have failed so far but his team selections he’s tried his best to imo. He should get loads of credit if we win the final but I’m not on that bandwagon yet because he’s being over praised because of England’s past not based on the talent he has to hand, the home advantage and the average to poor opposition to date. Win Sunday against a quality team and bring home the trophy and then, for me, he can get all the credit. Edited July 7, 2021 by nick76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Platt Posted July 7, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted July 7, 2021 He is first sub when we need a goal that is good enough for me. Will be needed in the final when we are 2 down at HT! Rest easy Sweet Prince you are the best player on the planet Messi is asking Emi for a signed Grealish shirt as we speak! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure we’ll see Jack again in the tournament actually. The thing I feel most sorry for him is the fact that when he is brought on for short spells, he’s expected to do the miraculous. Nobody else is under that intense immediate pressure, he’s never allowed to grow into a game or develop relationships with team mates in the way the others have. He’s not a super sub but hey, we’re in a final, got no choice other than to enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on about those who genuinely think Southgates priority this game was to emotionally abuse Jack Grealish. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, after initially looking well pissed off, he was jumping, laughing and celebrating with them . He'll be ok, he's also tying to be mature and professional, which is good to see. Even through adversity. It will also make him appreciate where he is truly loved, a bit more I would think. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a m ole Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 If Dean Smith had done the same you’d all be frothing at the mouth too. We can all play these games. If you’re enjoying England being in the final, get on with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loxstock92 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Not sure if this has been posted. stan collymore had his pic taken with jacks dad, someone asked him to ask jacks dad about Grealish contract. apparently this was the response which was swiftly deleted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other fans are probably laughing at us for being butthurt the same way we are laughing at Arsenal fans at the moment. I think (hope) a lot of our own fans are laughing at us for being so blinkered that we can say a manager that's got England to a semifinal and then a final in successive tournaments is a fraud and that Grealish was embarrassed. It was a tactical substitution that worked. We won. We're in a final. A Villa player played a part in that. What kind of joyless monsters are some of you. This has happened once and it was 55 years ago. Try be happy 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam2003 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Think as well he’s come on ahead of Sancho, ahead of Rashford, etc etc. They haven’t even had a kick. He’s got himself right into the mix in this squad going into the final which considering where he was a year ago is amazing. Fair play to him. Will be needed against Italy I think. They look class and don’t concede many. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
