He’s comfortable at receiving the ball deep, but he’s not **** supposed to be there - that’s Rice/Phillips job. Mount came on in the same position, and he was excellent. He pressed a lot more than jack did, and also created 3 chances, which if even one had gone in, would have proved my point that he can do what Grealish can, but also brings other aspects to the game. We won, and that’s given me a big problem about how to never pick Jack again.’ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still think we over analyse everything that’s said. Also as I’ve said many times I hope you are all right about this agenda he has so it means he misses out on the next two games. Amen. but I’d feel sorry for Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've said before, Man United fans have noticed it and were talking about it. It's not us being overprotective or seeing things that aren't there.

If he was as stubborn as many make out there is no chance he would have got 80 minutes and started ahead of Mount regardless of injuries and media pressure.

Thug Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 3 hours ago, JAMAICAN-VILLAN said: Southgate responds to Jack/Gazza comparison ... Quote “I think he should enjoy it. He had an excellent performance the other night. When you make your England debut at Wembley, it is an occasion to cherish and to remember fondly. He is not an 18 or 19 year Jack, he is more experienced than that. “He is used to accolades, especially from his own supporters but he is highly thought of in the game. He'll be hungry to back up the performance the other night and to continue to show people what he is capable of. “I am very conscious that I don’t want to dampen the enthusiasm for Jack. I always answer honestly about people and when you talk about Gascoigne, there’s not a player in English football history who was at that level in my opinion. “I don’t want that to be a criticism of Jack. I just think Gascoigne, who I played with, and I played with [Wayne] Rooney, [Steven] Gerrard, [Paul] Scholes, [David] Beckham and you could go on about phenomenal, amazing attacking players who won Champions Leagues, won 100 caps with England and who broke goalscoring records. “In many ways, I feel Gascoigne was so unique, and such an incredible player that I feel like I am talking about Bobby Moore. I think with young players who come through you shouldn’t burden or tag them by comparing them to someone else. Each one is unique with unique talents. “Jack has a style that is different to all those players I have mentioned and all the players in our squad. He handled the question maturely and I understand the comparison but I think Gascoigne, as an individual is just on another level to anything I played with.” Never a truer word spoken. Burdening players with comparisons and tags. Southgate frowns on it. https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/812699/England-captain-Gareth-Southgate-Harry-Kane-Alan-Shearer https://www.news24.com/sport/soccer/englishpremiership/southgate-compares-harry-kane-to-shearer-20170605 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratvillan Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Southgate will be gone sooner rather than later. The problem is theres a lot of pundits who believe what they're told. (I think theres a real split now). There was a muppet on Talk Sport (I could stop there), who was arguing that anyone who is playing CL should be automatic starter over someone who isnt. I thought jack was much better in the second half when as southgate said "the players solved the problem". Southgates an excellent example of style over substance, and an example of why England wont win anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has players making the runs to allow him to release it now. Has anyone seen the stat for the Liverpool game? I don’t remember seeing him getting fouled and am guessing the number of times it happened was well below his average per game from last season. yeah I definitely think that he will get fouled a lot less — think that Barkley will be a major influencer with this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely think the jobs too big for one man. You almost need a media savvy man / front of house, and the one who actually coaches and organises. Clough and taylor Fergie and many Smith and Shakespeare! I'd like England to win a tournament, they have the players, but managers have always been too scared to ignore the media. I hate myself for saying this, but you almost need a Redknapp, who has had his career and has nothing to prove. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 2 hours ago, Tomaszk said: I hope he does it again if asked about Grealish. He's totally embarrassing himself, it's funny. He's also contradicting everything he's said before with the reasons he gave for Jack not making squads at all. Be a man Gareth. You're the England manager. If you don't think he's good enough or playing well enough say it when you next leave him out of a squad. Don't lie about the level he's at or the position he's in. If England play this 343 abomination trying to press from the front, but with full backs as midfielders, we'll get obliterated by any half decent side. There's no one in the middle of the pitch! We're in a ridiculous position. Southgate is never going to manage ever again after this. He didn't want a job after the Boro debacle but fell into the 21s role! He's one of many managers in this game that keep managing to fail upwards. It makes no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
