Jack Grealish

[FantasyIreland]

To be honest I would be pissed off too if I was subbed on then off

Yep,ridiculous management

Lost a bit of control after the change but did regain bit of composure.

Direct and lively as usual, Kane stole a chance from him near the end and he set Kane up very well which he fluffed. Awful from Southgate to bring him off unless he does have an injury. Really has something against him

I thought Grealish was having an impact so it must be an injury which forced him off. Subbing him otherwise makes no sense.

I think it was tactical. Southgate wanted an extra defender on the pitch.

Disageee Southgate wanted to go with a back 5 so one of foden or Grealish had to be sacrificed as he wanted to keep the pace of Sterling on the pitch for obvious reasons. Just unfortunate for grealish but fully understand the sub

 

[CityPar]

There was no need to have a back 5. The Danes were done and England could have easily seen the game out as they were. At least he's not injured and his move to City is still on ;o)

 

[RayCTID]

I would of took Sterling off and kept him fresh for the final. Grealish along with Foden would of been handy in keeping the ball for the remainder of extra time.

He'd have 11 if he could get away with it.

Were in the final just so enjoy.

Why ? Are you self centered too .....

 

[andyhinch]

Needed more time to make an impact, bit wasteful but a bottle job by Southgate

 

[RayCTID]

Unless I was carrying in a injury then nope I would be pissed off with the decision andif I was one of a few England players comfortable on the ball who can see out of the game.

 

[Big-P]

Pep and other top managers go for the kill, don’t invite pressure. Southgates a fraud, can’t stand the bloke.

I thought England lost impetus when Grealish came on as initially Sterling wasn't as dangerous from the right as he had been from the left and Grealish wasn't linking up with Shaw as effectively as Sterling had. His desire to win free kicks means that the ball isn't moved on as quickly and the game becomes more stop start. In the end Sterling from the right drew the penalty - but Grealish still wasn't offering much.

I don't doubt he is a good player - but I cant see where he fits in for us if he can only play as the left sided Attacking Midfielder - when we already have Sterling and Foden competing for that place. It may be he can also play in a deeper more central place - especially if Silva is really leaving. But I don't see him putting in the workload Silva does or the guile that Gundogan provides. Does he really want to come and be a squad player? and do we want to pay the fee Villa will demand for a squad player?

I agree with some of that, but I thought that when Foden & Henderson came on in the first half of extra time, that Grealish came into the game and England looked their best going forward. Denmark couldn't get out of their own half in that first period. Southgate decided to stick though and took him off for an extra defender to see the game out.

My worry is, he’s the big fish at Villa, will he cope with being a squad player here ? I’ve got no idea one way or the other btw

Especially for Kieran fuckin Trippier

For a defender then yep. Sterling deserved a standing ovation and bit of rest.

Denmark were dead on their feet. If he’d have stayed on I think we’d have killed the game off with another 1 or 2 goals

instead we invited pressure and it would have only took a mistake or a deflection or a free kick on the edge of the box and we might have been looking at pens

I was starting to think I’d been a bit harsh on grey Gareth then he does that
