birdman Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 3 minutes ago, villa4europe said: I can't link it but the athletic have done a piece on the substitution, absolutely hammers his defensive work and positioning That's a failure of Southgates way of playing not Jack. An impact sub is not brought on to fecking defend like his life depends on it. It's a failure of the team not getting the ball to him when he was constantly in space. Then he looks like he's not putting the work in. Denmark were knackered and all we needed was decent possession and players willing to pass and move with Jack. Didn't really happen that much! Not Jack's fault imo. Shit tactics that still paid off...just. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have nothing more to add. I’m English, but I wouldn’t be overly bothered how we did in this tournament if Grealish and Mings weren’t in the squad. Not really anything to do with Southgate specifically, although his handling of Grealish during his time as England manager has been questionable at times. I’m just not very patriotic. I used to be, especially Euro 96, but I’m just not really fussed about it anymore. No idea why. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's basically a few screenshots of Grealish pressing on his own, and then the Danes easily playing around it...because he is pressing on his own and the players behind are not following up. Of course there were many examples throughout the game before he came on where the Danes easily beat our press in the same way; England don't really press as a team consistently. They also criticise him for losing the ball on the edge of the Danish box, because it nearly led to a break, even though it actually didn't. God knows what they would have written had he sent the opposition striker through 1 on 1 like Sterling did against Germany... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sancho and Foden have barely featured, Saka is a defender by nature, and very quick, Sterling is also extremely quick, and like it or not, has created and scored for England throughout the tournament, even if he does alot of shite.

I also said to a lesser extent. I mostly meant Spain, Italy and Belgium as the teams we'd get schooled by. You mentioned Portugal originally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we perform awfully. Then why are you here? If your belief is that your opinion is right no matter what the evidence, what do you get out of these discussions?

sir_gary_cahill Posted July 8, 2021 Author Share Posted July 8, 2021 My 2 cents on why Southgate isn’t picking Grealish from the start of matches, it could be and I stress could be because he played for Ireland u15s earlier in his career. This is pure speculation but maybe Southgate wants players that are fully English and committed to the cause. I can’t think of another reason why he isn’t picking him, I’d like to hear other poster’s opinions on this 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
