It might be laughed at in England but ROI team with Declan Rice and Grealish would have been great. Shame the North over perform, puts us to shame.

I thought we were really good in parts last night tbh and I'm pretty excited about the future. But aye add Grealish and Rice to the team last night and we beat Slovakia absolutely no bother.

Rice's star has definitely dimmed, but anyone not rating Grealish is an idiot. Only 2/3 teams in the league wouldn't start him.

Aye but he's a cunt so it's easy to dislike him, even if he is proving he's top class

If he didn't wear his socks like its primary school PE his approval rating would be through the roof

Yeah but lads what about his calves aye, fucking hell. Seriously it's all they went on about. I found Southgate’s comments on Grealish baffling, saying Mason Mount looked as good when he came on or whatever. Don’t get why people are so reluctant to appreciate Grealish, agree with you we should be building around players like that as much as possible. It's fucking mad isn't it, swear this isn't the first time he's shoe-horned Mount into the equation. I was impressed with Mount at the start of last season but nothing I've seen recently has impressed me to make me think he deserves a place ahead of Grealish or Phillips.

A week after getting stuffed 7-2 by Jack Grealish’s Villa probably isn’t a good time to argue against this.
But he does play in Sadio Mane’s position....

Maybe playing Devil's advocate here but isn't he just the next hyped up young England that you really shouldn't over hype too much before you end up with another Wilshire, Ali etc? Inevitably he will end up at a team challenging for trophies where he isn't twice as good as the team around him and we will see how he fares then but seems like Southgate is doing the smart thing at the moment.

He’s class like but starts for every premier league side? No.
Does he only play left side? Cause if he does then I don’t see how he starts for City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs or United.
If he can play right side or centre mid then fair enough he would get in more of them.

I have to say he reminds me a little of Hazard in how he seems to have space no matter what. He glides about and never seems under too much pressure. I think he is a special talent for England, more like Sterling (not in style, but in terms of deserved hype).

He's been hyped up for years though,and for the last 2 years at least he's delivered.
How much of it is because everything goes through him, who knows, but his performances for England when surrounded by better players than at Villa will go some way to answering that one.
In playing style comparing him to Wilshire isn't actually that far off - they both dribble with the ball in the same way, making late movements and gliding past people which often leads to them being fouled. It just so happens Grealish doesn't have glass ankles and can use both feet.

If he can play right side or centre mid then fair enough he would get in more of them. He’s nominally a left sided player yes but he’s basically just given licence to drift and pick up the ball wherever he likes, he’s definitely capable of playing pretty much any midfield or forward position.

DCL starting otherwise a very England looking line-up as per previous games, which is a shame.
