KentVillan Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Weird thing is we all know the way to manage Jack is to just blow smoke up his arse, tell him he’s the next Messi, and let him do his thing. What’s Southgate trying to achieve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone give me some examples of players who didnt get capped because of who they played for? It's a myth. If you're good enough, you'll get picked. Glen Hoddle wasn't fit to lace the boots of Gordon Cowans. Compare and contrast their international caps. Whilst your at it look at how many England Caps the 81 Championship Winners and 82 Champions of Europe have between them. Man United reserve players have more caps than that whole squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Southgate gives randoms caps just to get the love from the media and the player. e.g, Justin Jones, is no where near a international player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utter bollocks. Glenn Hoddle was one of the most gifted English players of his generation and the England team should have been built around him. So if you win the title and European Cup, that means you should automatically be capped by your country? That Villa team was the definition of more than the sum of its parts. Without stars so its not a surprise. Much like Forest before them and their team were hardly capped either. I never understand why so many Villa fans moan about these so called injustices. The FA is out to get us, the refs favour anyone we're playing. It's absolute drivel and embarrassingly small time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was right to do so, we have no left back, he needs to find 2 fit ones, I don't think he rates Chilwell so Luke Shaw will walk in to the job dont forget trippier played LB for England in the euros when he'd never played a club game there 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 No doubt about it he changed the game when he got on...he should play every game for England. Mount was average but Sterling though is an anomaly, to me he really is. He was poor last night and shows why people often dislike him, it was his Scotland display all over again...running into trouble, greedy, poor shot selection, decision-making. At one point after Greal-hiss got on Sterling took up the ball and ran towards him at the left corner and lost it just basically ignored him...why did he need to do that when a player was already there? It's often said that the main thing about Sterling has been decision-making on he pitch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still a fan, not hater, but I heard him on Talksport news. He read a statement that was obviously written for him, didn't sound very genuine. Would have been nice to say something in his own words, may have sounded a bit more like he actually knew what he was doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But doesn't see the defensive benefit to it yeah.....as a random, pele wasn't good at tracking back, amazing how how got so many games. Southgate is out of his depth. blimey, I am a supporter of the defensive element in a game....but Southgates view on Jack, is simply bizarre. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Under Southgate - no, his goal stats are too good, if you're looking to snatch wins then you need sterling for his tap ins With a fully capable top manager who actually wants to play good football - yes, all day 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
