captain Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Not sure what else he could do, he has not let England down. However I cant see Southgate giving much time or important time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Southgate has him as plan B Won't start and will struggle to get on the pitch if we're winning Played some decent stuff tonight, some good link up play and looked to attack, the clamour has died down compared to the euros but I still think a good attack minded manager has him starting That said out of all the attacking options England have grealish is still the worst one if Harry Kane insists on playing DMC and Southgate wants us to play how he does, rashford second goal with the ball over the top or even his missed chance 1st half where he ran past kane when he went deep, even the foden goal, grealish doesn't play like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need a balance in the front 3 of players who want to come towards the ball and players who want to run in behind. Too many of the former and it’s all intricacy but no penetration; too many of the latter and there’s no creativity or poise. Kane is the former alongside grealish, Maddison and foden while rashford, and Sterling are the latter (I think Saka and mount are a bit of a fusion). When Kane is playing you basically have to play at least one of either rashford, Saka or Sterling leaving only one slot at most for a foden or a grealish. The alternative is to drop kane for Wilson who likes to run in behind and stretch the play leaving space for both foden and grealish to support creatively (like they do for City with Haaland playing) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah me too I think He's a better player than rashford or sterling but as I said and then @jpjcb said there's tactical and other personnel reasons as to why he doesn't suit Southgate's team For the same reason I actually don't like sterling playing for England, he plays too deep imo and wants too much of the ball, for as poor as he was in the first half yesterday and his general passing Rashford probably is the best option we have for the left Blame Southgate and Kane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapal_fan Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 It infuriates me when he has the chance to shoot, but doesn't. He got into 2 decent positions yesterday and didn't pull the trigger and tried to pass it. Just have a go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Maybe he really likes sliced vegatables, so when he says something is the best thing since sliced vegatables he means it as a huge compliment, playfully improvising on the famouns best thing since sliced bread saying, he's being creative with his words, sounds like the kind of thing I would do.

El Segundo Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 The more I watch Grealiish these days the more I see the Jack Grelaish of about 6 or 7 years ago. We'd just got relegated, he'd just established himself in the team, and he was already regarded as our star player. But I was among quite a few who put him in the "plenty of fart, not much shit" category. He'd do something flash, maybe beat one man, but then lay it off sideways or backwards, or draw a fouls, but almost always the safe option. It was as if he didn't have the confidence to take on the further dribble, or the shot or the cross. He seems to have reverted to playing like that now, well within himself, for both City and England. Possibly under instruction. Frustrating to see him get in positions where he might try to curl one in from 20 yards or take his man on in the box and just lay it off instead. For us, gradually, eventually, he overcame that and became the virtuoso we now remember, making loads of chances and scaring defenders to death. If he can rediscover that he'll be well worth £100m.

It defintely sounds like it starts with a "v" to me. Either way, it's funny because it being Jack means there is even this discussion that he might well have said "veg".
