Foden could give that creativity but Southgate hasn't a clue how to set a team up to attack. I watch England and there's no pattern of play to the attack.
I like when you post about yourself Phil.
Proper city fan.

No idea how reliable they are.
I wasn't sure if you meant City or England :)Of course i mean England,just as you would mean the States.
Well, comparing him to the best midfielder in the world is a bit unfair isn't it. He is special. But no one is KDB yet.I'm struggling to see the hype. It's the Euro's and all I've seen him do is win free kicks far away from goal. The thing is he probably could ride out some of these challenges and go attack but chooses to almost look for the challenge. No wonder his shins are a mess.
Sterling was pretty dire but the difference between Sterling's dire game and most attackers is he laid on two great balls for Foden and Mount to get on the end of. Mount should have been given the ball more too. Everytime he got it, he was looking forward and found Sterling in acres of space loads.
The way Dixon and co purr over Grealish like he's Zidane is ridiculous. I know he only had half hour but look at KDB in the same period of time. Worlds apart.

Felix, 3 times the player of Grealish, and has the natural talent to become one of the very best under Pep.For those who don't want him, who do you want?
Assuming we sell some players and NEED to buy (so the answer of buy nobody is not allowed... or promote youth even if I like this idea).
No one will be Kev, not for a long time. Grealish won't be anywhere as good as Kev. He doesn't have the tools Kev has, and not many footballers do.Well, comparing him to the best midfielder in the world is a bit unfair isn't it. He is special. But no one is KDB yet.
I lived in Scotland for many years and their mindset even then was " don't care if we lose, as long as England don't win". As you say, a bitter bunch.It was just as important to them that we didn't get 3 points,they really are that bitter.
Good God.Grealish can be good on his day. The City rumour is good because we can make his ability work in our interchanging squad. However there is a big question mark on his mentality. He's a boozer, and a party boy. Foden and Stones would be best steering clear of him in my opinion
For those who don't want him, who do you want?
I do like Grealish but I'd be happy with just Haaland and fill any holes with youth players as rotation to give the senior players a rest. Especially if Fern is signing a years extension.Nobody really because we don't need a winger, especially at the daft prices being quoted for Grealish.
Personally, I'd much rather we just spend what we have on Haaland and then replace whoever wants to leave. If a winger wants to leave then I'd be happy with Grealish as a replacement if we've got the funds left after getting Haaland. If not then I'm not arsed and trust the club to find a decent winger.

No hostility (and I've been here 30 years) but they really get wound up over Scotland v England games.I`ve never found much if any hostility in Scotland other than Glasgow and some of the bigger Cities
Hard to tell on this thread ;I think he was being sarcastic bud. :-)
Wasn't hostile at all, just a strange mindsetI`ve never found much if any hostility in Scotland other than Glasgow and some of the bigger Cities
I might be in a minority here but I always think Sterling looks more effective on the right.When Leroy Sane was playing on the left hand side for city , Raz looked far more dangerous. He is just too predictable on the left. For me he probably wouldn’t be in the side anyway. Southgate has a lot of talented midfielders on his bench but for some reason he would rather play two holders in there. Mind you did you hear Gary fucking Neville going on about how if Phil Foden would have played more central he would have been bullied, who by Billy Gilmore, fucking biased rag prick. If he was a rag player he would have waxed lyrical about him. Phil and Grealish should both be in this England side otherwise where is the creative spark coming fromNever plays on the right either. Gareth is some craic
