Turkish Posted 9 October, 2020 Share Posted 9 October, 2020 1 hour ago, Whitey Grandad said: He spends a lot of his time looking for fouls. He hangs onto the ball too long when a pass would keep our game moving in the hope of drawing in an opponent and then puts himself in a position where he’s going to get fouled. A great cross for our first goal though. He does do that, but then i guess he's been so much better than the players around him at Villa that maybe that's his instinct. I really enjoy watching him, classy player who seems to have so much time on the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectisSaint Posted 9 October, 2020 Share Posted 9 October, 2020 Great goal from Ings, assist by Mings, both former Saints youth. They were at Southampton at the same time as youngsters, wonder if they played together during that time (Danny is a year older than Tyrone).

saintwbu Posted 9 October, 2020 Share Posted 9 October, 2020 Agree with previous comments, Grealish is a fantastic footballer. Not very ‘English’ in style, very elegant, ball sticks to his feet and the game seems to just slow down for him. Love watching him, hope we don’t waste him. Delighted for Ings, great goal within 4 minutes of not being shoved out wide. Prowsey looked good too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alehouseboys Posted 9 October, 2020 Share Posted 9 October, 2020 Grealish is exactly what we need in the England attacking midfield area, very good player when he stays on his feet. Feel dirty saying it but I quite rate Mount too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintquin Posted 9 October, 2020 Share Posted 9 October, 2020 Thought Danny had a good game with and without the ball and took his deserved goal well. Ward-Prowse did well when he came on. Always wanting the ball tried hard to impress in the short time he had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintBobby Posted 10 October, 2020 Share Posted 10 October, 2020 Chilwell out for the Belgium game.

As for Grealish I think we need to build a team round his talent although but only if he can be persuaded to play for the benefit of the team. He definitely holds on to the ball too much which inclines me to think he is is about himself and not the team. Who knows how he will develop but at 25 I would suggest what you see is what you get.

Ingsy has most likely got one good payday left with a transfer, we’ll probably have to break the bank to keep hold of him. Agree about Grealish, you can see he models himself on Beckham, should become an England regular on this form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure where all the doom and gloom is coming from - just the national mood with everything that's going on?? Ings will sign a new contract -slightly better terms, not massive and will end his playing days with us. He loves it here - earns a decent amount and is our star/main man - he's not about to risk that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjii Posted 14 October, 2020 Share Posted 14 October, 2020 Grealish is ok but he's no better than the likes of Lallana ever were at their peak.

Alanh Posted 14 October, 2020 Share Posted 14 October, 2020 Grealish brings something different to the England team, but its so frustrating seeing him go down every time he is touched as it just slows the pace of the attack down. It's not necessarily his fault he gets foulted so much but I think the team would benefit if he moved the ball on quickly more often. He can play a dangerous pass so it's not about ability. When we are under pressure it's fine to draw a foul to give us time to regroup, but it must be so frustrating for the team when players are making runs and the attack is repeatedly being stopped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 14 October, 2020 Share Posted 14 October, 2020 No Ings or JWP in the starting line up. Such a boring starting XI, it's definitely like GS is trying not to lose than trying to actually win games. James over TAA? No Grealish? AMN over the left footed Saka? I'm still unsure of Southgate as manager. Makes some odd decisions. Still as long as he keeps getting results, we keep him as manager.

Totally agree. The falling over thing is just too much. He did it for 90 minutes at St Mary's last year, but each time, the ref gave a free kick. It the refs got wise to him and didn't "buy" the fall every time, he would stop doing it. Something else I've noticed. Other Villa players have started doing it, possibly to a lesser degree, but still going over way too easy......a couple of them have also copied his weird hairstyle. He's obviously has quite an influence on the Villa camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
