It’s obvious - No Grealish no party

Whole football world was shocked Jack didn’t play this tournament, it’s like leaving out Messi or Maverick out of that secret mission or Frodo out of that ring quest.. well you get the reference here

Southgate should never manage better club than Middlesbrough and better player than Stewart Fucking Downing

He’s obviously staying in the England job. The tell is that they’ve kept Ten Hag on.

For all the minutes he gave Bowen and Gordon, he might as well have just taken him, his big bold statement of dropping Grealish and Rashford ended up just being pathetic, what was it 4 minutes of game time for Gordon.

I know who I'd have preferred to come on and it would have also freed Phil to play the AM and not out Left.

You could include Wharton or Gallacher in the equation as well

Of course, this is the correct answer.

They are killing the game with all these international games for me and they wanted to make the World Cup every two years didn't they?

And coming off with a little hammy strain isn't gonna help, I doubt he will be playing in week 1 tbh

That UEFA Nations League needs fucking binning off as well, into its 4th or 5th season or whatever, fucking hell they need some time off from the Euro's or World cup years.

Money-grabbing execs don't give a shit about the players or the teams they play for.

Simple fact of the matter is he didn't warrant a place in the squad after last season and those two you mentioned despite getting virtually no minutes themselves deserved the call up ahead of him after both having very impressive seasons.

If I was a Newcastle fan, I'd be gutted Gordon got picked and gave up a months rest for 4 minutes of football and will now miss pretty much all of pre-season, likewise for Bowen if i was a hammer.

Grealish got substantial genuine rest and a kick up the arse he needed. He's had everything he needs over the summer to up his game and prove himself from day 1 of the season now and along with the others who reported back today, has a major advantage over the rest of the squad.
 
Looking forward to seeing a well rested, determined Jack Grealish. He could light it up this season. Especially if he's spent the off season only using his left foot.

Gordon i agree with as he could offer something down the left. The fact for the first 4 games he played that stupid system with nobody on the left and still didn’t give Gordon a chance was a bit of a joke.

There was very little point taking Bowen as Saka was always going to start, then Palmer had to be 2nd choice there and Foden is also much better from the right than the left. If he played wingbacks Arnold was the obvious choice for the right( although he still never played there).

He basically took one left sided midfielder and one left back who wasn’t fit. Grealish should have been the other one by a mile. He keeps the ball better than anyone and there were bound to be games or times in them where he’d be ideal. Not like he was shite in games last season he just didn’t score or assist at much but he doesn’t tend to apart from during his purple patch on the treble run. He’s still the type of player England badly lack at times against technical sides.

but that was kind of the point of the post, I never said Jack deserved a spot but Southgate created a massive hoo-ha about him being dropped and for what?

4 minutes of game time for his replacement.

An utterly pointless decision and let's be honest he then complained about ball retention and that is at least one of Jack superior talents.

From a City POV I'm happy that he will come back with something to prove and a fire in his belly.
 
Big season for Jack

First season he was settling in. Second season he was excellent and really turned it on towards the back half of the season and seemed to be one of the first names on Pep's team sheet. Last season he never got going, picking up injuries and seemingly not really recovering from them before picking up another among other things.

Let's get behind him. I reckon he'll be highly motivated this season.

Jack will be our player of the season next. Southgate did us a huge favour dropping him.

Great attitude from him this summer

"Great attitude from him this summer"

Time will tell on that, the simple fact he has to perform week in week out, contribute goals and assists the time for excuses has long gone.

If been left out of the England squad does not motivate him, nothing will.
 
Really looking forward to seeing him play.
I think there is a more central opportunity coming with the arrival of Savio and the quality of Doku and Oscar out on the wings. Should Alvarez go, I would like to see this:

This is the false nine alternative to Erling up front, and Oscar and Rico and McAtee could augment this.
