England Squad - Euro 2024

[meeesh]

No Grealish I have heard, or slabhead

Wow. I thought Southgate would at least give Jack the game versus Iceland after his showing on Monday. He must be gutted. Hopefully, he comes back motivated for next season.

Can go on the piss sooner instead of after the tournament, so that will be a plus

Half of the British female population not watching now then? Nobody arsed about maggot.

Big loss for England if he isn't taken. You've just removed a guaranteed control player against the big nations with bags of winning experience.

Then again it's Southgate and he's a fucking idiot so makes sense.

Good..now let's have the other blues sent home..cmon waistcoat

Can't say I've watched much of Rice at Arsenal this season but FourFourTwo had an interesting video about their run of form with Rice as their pivot and him as an 8. Not saying this will translate to England/tournament football but the tldr is they were shit with him as the anchor for midfield and more or less matching our form with him as an 8.

Yeah but Stones can push forward in support.

Jack is great option off the bench even when not at his best. Could be crucial for last 30 min, particularly against top opposition. Southgate just dont understand/appreciate what Grealish provides at the pitch in terms of control, link up play etc. Im really surprised with this decision, its a mistake

Call me paranoid but can guarantee City will get the blame for not playing him...

Only if you need to preserve a lead

If you need a goal, let's be honest, you'd probably look to every other attacking midfield option and striker before Jack.

I would have taken him for the situations when you need to control possession against top opposition. And also on the basis that successful national squads have a strong core of national champions. But it's not a complete surprise to me.
