That says as much about Grealish's work ethic and application as anythingYep. People said the same thing when Grealish was left out of the squad, and he didn't end up coming back stronger as a result of it.
It's good that he's not going. Those worried that missing out will knock his confidence further need to keep in mind that his fall off came straight off the back of England's last tournament.
He can't be scapegoated and he can work on whatever he needs to work on. I say do a Stephen Ireland and go do karate in the mountains or something.
If not going ends up knocking his confidence that much, it at least gives us some closure that he's likely done as a top level footballer. The very best don't respond to adversity like that.
There was some rumour about him having food poisoning from some bad takeawayWhat’s this about
Phil has dodged a bullet because this is the weakest England squad I can remember. And Tuchel is useless. They will be humiliated. He’s well out of it.Bet he’s quietly relieved as well, after the last tournament with England. Hope he gets the rest he needs this summer mentally and comes back fighting next season. And fuck England who gives a fuck. Rather City won the league than England win anything.
Inspirational words from Tommy. “We need to be strong at set pieces and penalties” Ha ha. Can’t wait for his tactical time outs.I think Tuchel can’t say he wants a team not a group of individuals then pick Bellend.
If Maresco plays two holders as he has done before it might create a new slot for Phil just behind Erling.Hopefully Foden will take this in the right spirit as he hasn't been good enough or consistent enough this season.
If it's an injury/illness issue I hope he gets the best advice and treatment, relaxes and then comes back determined to show his qualities which we know he possesses.
Maybe Maresco can be a different inspiration and support for him,
Whatever he is too good a player to let this crush him, and tbh I don't see the England team being the best place for him for a number of reasons.
Pep also played him even when he was clearly out of form. I still think Pep probably prefers him to Cherki in the 10 role. It’s sad because around October, November last year, it looked like he was getting back to his best.I feel sorry as he will feel it without a doubt. He has more natural talent than the midfielder picked put together. However he cannot have any complaints. Tommy gave him enough opportunity and for a combination of reasons he didn't take it. I hope he uses it as fuel to light his performance in the new season. Hope the lad has a good summer and comes back refreshed.
