Brumstopdogs Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I thought Grealish was one of our best players first half but not so effective in the second half when he was on (although as an attacking threat the whole team were woeful after the break). Still think there is more to come from Grealish and there were a couple of occasions when he was holding back rather than getting into the box. Hopefully done enough to start the next game - certainly deserves to... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming we are playing Germany next, there has to be a not-much-greater-than-zero chance of Jack starting. He's not going to do anything that 'risky'.

Thug Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I'm glad they're ignoring him. Because he gets to feel like what it would be like playing with these clubs where he isn't the main man - so won't want to move to a club with a bunch of jealous nobheads. Stirling didn't look like he wanted that hug from Jack after he crossed the ball for him. Kinda just patted him on the back while looking around for his buddies. (No. I'm not paranoid ) 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that i think he will stick Mount back in and we'll see Foden back in for Saka. So apart from Maguire it will be the same 11 that drew against Scotland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 The commentators said that Southgate and his assistants reviewed recent world Cup and euro championship winning teams and came to the conclusion that they were safe defensive teams. I think it is apparent he wants to win and gives zero shits about looking good. Jack won't be used during the knockouts unless we need to come from behind. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 He'll get 30 mins max against Germany. It's up to Jack Grealish to save Gareth Southgate's job and he doesn't **** deserve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc1982am Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I've got a funny feeling Portugal will draw against France and Germany will top the group. Portugal need a result to go through I think? Is 3 enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He actively looks to make nice little interchanges with Grealish (while most of the team seem to try hard to avoid passing to him... sometimes embarrassingly so). Him and Saka seem to spend a lot of time together. They look like great mates. Get Saka to villa Asap. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoMkali Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 I was watching the game with my mate. He said he was the best player. I felt he was average or poor. Shows how much better than the rest he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as Rice and Phillips have to look over every time they cross the half way line And if Jack rushed in to the box he'd probably be worried about passing kane on the way As for sterling not passing to him, he barely passes to anyone, decision making is **** piss poor... And yet England try and play through him... Its one of our biggest issues, our main attacking player is a guy who chooses the wrong ball over and over again, its not a "the club won't pass to Jack thing" it's a he keeps picking the wrong pass in general thing Jack likes to play little one,twos......but some of the England players receive it off him and don't return it, they just look elsewhere.....Harry and Saka seem to get it. I don't think they get the jist of Jack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
