Booing is OTT, but it bewilders me how he still has a starting place considering he seems to make a mistake for man united every week
I can't think of one major error he's made for England though.Booing is OTT, but it bewilders me how he still has a starting place considering he seems to make a mistake for man united every week
I might be wrong here but I feel it's almost the converse situation in comparison to John Stones .I can't think of one major error he's made for England though.
Some players are just more suited to the international game
To be fair, Southgate always seemed unsure as to where Grealish would fit into the side, even when he first went to Man City.The last couple of England managers have said they will pick players on form, including Southgate. By that reckoning Harry Maguire should be nowhere near the squad as he has had a terrible season
Also funny how Grealish is in the team more when at Man City but wasn't when he was at the top of his game at Villa
Nothing changes

Grealish moving to Citeh means he's now playing regular Champions League football so has experience of better players and bigger occasions than at Villa. He was in the squad anyway so I don't see why that would change.The last couple of England managers have said they will pick players on form, including Southgate.

Its clear our best 2 and the 2 we should be playing for the foreseeable should be Bellingham and Rice. If Kane is a guaranteed selection up top, theres 3 places to fight out for. Think Foden should be 1, Sterling likely another and its hard to discount Saka from the argument too, we are very fortunate in those attacking positions.To be fair, Southgate always seemed unsure as to where Grealish would fit into the side, even when he first went to Man City.
Southgate is in love with Mount and also really rates Foden and Rice, so it is at times hard fro Grealish to find a place in the England line-up.
Stones is one of those more modern defenders that is basically a holding midfielder that plays at the back because he's tall and can head.I might be wrong here but I feel it's almost the converse situation in comparison to John Stones .
My personal opinion is that it's all about the dynamics at Man Utd.
It will be Mount though. He is a Southgate favourite.Its clear our best 2 and the 2 we should be playing for the foreseeable should be Bellingham and Rice.

It's also still the case that having appeared for the U21's will get you a leg up to the first team more than being a good player who's worked their way up.The last couple of England managers have said they will pick players on form, including Southgate.

England u-17 0-2 Luxembourg u-17
What happened there...?!
Tom LawrenceBullshit pen call for Poland.
You're apparently allowed to jump into someone and fall over now and it's a pen.
Portugal getting every decision in that game too.

I don't see a problem with that tbh.
I think you have to keep players around that you know can play the styles, systems & tactics you want & won't let you down.
If Southgate picked purely on form Sterling wouldn't have played much/at all at the Euros & ended up being arguably the tournament's best player. Pickford arguably wouldn't have played either & was exceptional.
If the public had their way & there were no "favourites" Alan Shearer wouldn't have played at Euro 96.
And his form for the team Southgate is picking him for has been very good. He’s never let his country down and he should be be in the team.The last couple of England managers have said they will pick players on form, including Southgate.

Is he one of the best 2 English CB's in the world?And his form for the team Southgate is picking him for has been very good. He’s never let his country down and he should be be in the team.
I think our issue is that we're generally very weak at the back in every position.Is he one of the best 2 English CB's in the world?
Not sure on that. James is excellent at right back and Shaw at left back. I think they are both top players.I think our issue is that we're generally very weak at the back in every position.
Who do you pick instead of him though?Harry maguire is nmbang average , good in the air il give him that , his positional awareness is shockingly bad , once he's turned with pace he's knackered im or outside the box ..
Sorry but Gareth has his favourites and Maguire is one of them
Who do you pick instead of him though?
I think part of that is playing the midfield holding the way we do to protect them.Well , that's a shocking state of affairs If it's maguire or bust eh .
Not sure tbh .
Let's be honest in 90% of England matches the defence does very little as England dominate the ball , when people says he never let's England down , you could put me there and I wouldn't let them down ..
His job at club level shows you the defender he is .
I think part of that is playing the midfield holding the way we do to protect them.
I don't know, even the next tier of players like Mings gives me no confidence.Il be honest I'd rather play anybody else but maguire .. he's painfully average
I don't know, even the next tier of players like Mings gives me no confidence.
Either way booing him was bang out of order.
Basically Southgate has entrenched himself in the " doesn't matter how shit maguire is week in week out , he will play for England " camp and I'm not happy with that either tbh
The lads almost 30 and won absolutely nothing , Southgate treats him like prime maldini
It will be Mount though. He is a Southgate favourite.
I don't think he's done particularly well for England myself. Done really well at club level, but hasn't shine that brightly for England. I much prefer Foden to Mount.
Well he's 29 , never won a major honour , cost 80 mill and makes mistakes weekly in the Premier league .. it's laughable how much Southgate adores himBehave.
