The Jack Grealish (and occasionally England) Thread: It's coming home attempt 5782570

[Heartwork]

Grealish won't be coming out for the second half. Whether it's cos he's subbed off or injured it's going to happen.

[Marc Albrighton]

Grealish always gives the opposition that split second show of the ball to make them think they can get it and then moves or passes it and gets clattered. Good when he pulls it off but not great to be kicked around the pitch right before the euros.

Is this being played over here?

Alaba can't even get in at CB for his country.

Cheers, didnt recognise it with that many fans there.

So, we have Grealish who can win us a lot of free kicks in good positions...that would be nice if we had someone who is good at taking free kicks. Could have been in place of one of our 847 RB's

Rice does nothing for me

[Smallen]

Lee Dixon has a point about no runs in behind. Think it’s why Sterling still has to play tbh.

[Heartwork]

TBH the biggest shock here is that it's a friendly and Mings isn't the first player booked

yeah this team badly needs a Sterling, Sancho or Rashford.

Saka at RW for Arsenal makes a lot of runs in behind

Flat game.

This won't get boring every time England fail to score from a free kick or corner  

[skybluedave]

Christ I hope we don't play Coady and Mings at the Euros

When he's not going to be starting at the tournament this probably wont matter too much.

[craigcwwe]

That is never a foul on Pickford. Sick of GKs being over protected.

Wtf is he doing 

[Heartwork]

TAA not been very impressive so far today.

[arenaross]

I'd like to see a couple more right backs in the second half. 

[skybluedave]

Pickford's been our best passer by a mile 

[Smallen]

Neither of the wide players playing high enough for me Jeff. Too easy to defend against.

Honestly hope he doesn't play a minute for us at the Euros

Wait til he does this in the knockout stages and gets us knocked out.

[RTHerringbone]

Well this has sucked. All the creative gusto of a haddock.

[ajw10]

This has essentially what I've been watching for large chunks of the season

Saka linking up well with Grealish (Smith Rowe), a right footer at left back looking uncomfortable and the right back doing very little. Striker isolated too.

[Rob1981]

Well that was pretty awful. Getting kicked all over the place. Looking like that WC2014 friendly against Honduras, end up just hoping everyone gets off the pitch in one piece.

**** me. Eric Cantona advertising Sports ******** Direct? I've had enough

Mings is just a bit of a thug isn't he?

He is. Been saying it for years at this point. 

 

[craigcwwe]

Very poor half from us. Far too passive, slow and not enough runners in behind. 

[The_jagster]

This is going to be a great dress rehearsal for any team that wants to play defensively against England. It's going to be ****.

2 of Foden, Sancho and Sterling will play, plus Mount.

Feels like this could be copy and pasted from any of that past several of our performances  We feel very predictable.

[arenaross]

Proper thugs these Austrians. 

[Heartwork]

Some horrific challenges from Austria.

[Heartwork]

The only real thing of note Trippier had for England was his set plays and I can't recall him taking a single one so far today.

Sakaaaaa!

Actually a really nice finish. Tight angle

Edited June 2, 2021 by skybluedave

Something happened!

We did a goal!

[Baptista_8]

Nice pass from Jack to start that off

[Coulthard's Jaw]

Saka  the kid is a star

[Butts]

Great football there.

[arenaross]

Nice move at last.

Mental and thuggish in any game but when theres a good chance the 1 CB spot is open and there for the taking its just utterly baffling. Lucky theres no VAR because thats an absolute stonewaller.

[arenaross]

JWP coming on to score some free kicks.
