He came on against (admittedly) Balkans FC with 30 minutes left and instigated both goals :comeon:

I know Southgate kept most of the big guns in his pocket but Grealish has a better defensive work rate than most of the potential English forwards IMHO and given the question marks over left back would've been a more practical choice than Watkins. Better at getting through low blocks as well and would probably thrive on more creative license in the national team than he gets rope for under Pep.

Just a shame he's a pisshead :snoop:

I'm not sure that's how it works with Southgate's England breh :pachaha:

Damn we got torched yesterday against the Netherlands

Our golden generation isn't shyt

I hope we at least Score 1 goal during La Copa, because you damn well know these other clubs aren't gonna let us lol. They'll probably take it as the ultimate disgrace if Canada can put 1 pass them
:mjlol:

Pep turned Grealish into one of the most boring players in the league. Dude used to be exciting and did things off the cuff now his game revolves around holding the ball up and winning freekicks.

Waste of a place in the squad what's he going to do pick him to take the ball in the corner to kill time.

i think they will keep ETH to save money and for ETH to take the flack while getting rid of players like sancho, casemiro and antony.

they are haggling over far smaller amounts so I can't see them willingly paying out the rest of ETH's contract.

This is why I think Southgate binned him. It was well reported that Jack was on a bender after the treble and Southgate said something along the lines of enough is enough.

Don’t think he cares for Jack’s personality and really had him in the squad due to media hype imo. After his lukewarm season this year, that was all Southgate needed to bush him
