Well he’s been injured for the most of the season so hasn’t really had chance to do anything has he? It’s clear he’s at his best when given a run of games but if he’s not given the chance to actually play and get fit (Gareth Shitgate was hardly going to help with that…) then it’s exceptionally...

Not sure why so many are leaving Grealish out their teams. We’ll need his ability to control the game against Brighton

It’s why Southgate subs him off at 55 mins when he gets an assist and plays well, and when he doesn’t start he gives him a pity 10 mins at the end. Southgate is a c*nt.

Waistcoat is beyond a joke now. Plays Stones successively for no real reason, bet he was creaming himself at the thought of getting Maguire and Phillips back into his “best XI” and then shoving Rashford back onto the LW instead of Grealish. Foden’s only starting because Saka is absent. The...

That goal last night - wow! I know these are only internationals but it’s great to see Erl back scoring again, a confidence boost if nothing else. Even the best players just need that reassurance that they’ve not somehow magically lost their touch or form.

Are you stupid? Read the posts and the article above. He’s yet to turn up because he’s been injured and is working back to fitness. He’s been choosing to do extra training this week. No one becomes fit again overnight. But then you’re one of the posters who can’t resist an unnecessarily snide...

I like this team a lot. Looking forward to having those three back in - all absolutely pivotal to our game it goes without saying. Hope all can come out of the international break unscathed.

Fucking morons on this thread banging on about Jack going on holiday and having a fucking drink over 3 months ago. Unlike other players he gets followed by twats everywhere with a phone. Do you really think every other footballer spends their break drinking herbal tea and going to bed at 8pm...

Felt too experimental to me today - I genuinely thought he’d go more “safe” with the line up. Haaland, Grealish, Foden, Bernardo, Akanji etc. Felt we needed as much experience of these kind of bigger games on the pitch as possible. Safe to say it didn’t work. Should have hooked Kova at HT, and...

Was incredibly lucky to stay on today. Surprised Pep didn’t hook him at half time - he had no qualms about doing that to Nunes a few weeks ago for a lot lot less.

Agree with you. Puzzled he didn’t come on at all. The problem with pointing out the facts as you have is that the haters have been SO quick out the traps tonight!

I’m not one to overreact but that was poor. Feels like Pep used this game to experiment. Players out of their natural/favoured positions, odd subs and why the hell did Grealish not play? I’d actually like to know because he’s invaluable in games like this. There was no control in our own half...

Should be enough to beat Arsenal. Pep’s missed an opportunity to put Grealish in midfield today.

Dumb comment. He scored against Arsenal last season.

This. He was quality, his first touch sublime and part of our treble winning team. People quickly forget how he stepped up - along with Grealish - in the dire depths of last winter to keep our PL dreams alive. This shiny new toy syndrome some fans have about our new players is wearing. Yes -...

Got nothing against 3pm KOs, ideal when you’re going to the game and for away games there’s time to travel. Players probably prefer them too. But the 3pm TV blackout in the UK needs to go in the bin. In this day and age it’s a farce that unless you’re a fan with a season ticket or the money and...

About time we see Grealish on the left and Doku on the right. Foden in just behind Haaland. That said Alvarez deserves to start so it’s a bit of a headache for Pep. Another solution would be Grealish midfield as he’d excel there. Lewis has earnt himself a start as well. Shame Stones didn’t...

Feel sorry for him. Played some lovely balls that didn’t come off and Doku comes on and gets the slice of luck not once or twice (Doku didn’t beat his man for what it’s worth so don’t bother going down that path). Also helps that Alvarez’s finishing is insane at the moment. Doku was bought to...

Rodri is available but does anyone think Pep will go all stubborn and keep him on the bench as punishment?

“Shunted out right to accommodate Grealish.” Have you been in a coma for the last 12 months?
