Can you imagine Grealish running at players and diving to win free kicks in dangerous areas. Then JWP stepping up to take it. Have every team shitting it I'd imagine.
Can't stand Grealish, personality wise and for the diving, but playing style, he's like our Gazza and JWP our Beckham.
I think it's a no brainer to take Ward Prowse really.
Sadly I think you may be right. The initial squad was very unbalanced and JWP give Southgate an easy way of correcting that. He has played well in the 1st half.
It’s a shame Southgate doesn’t hold his hands up and drop Mings and take Ben White as well.

On a side note, Tudor Baluta going on loan to Dynamo Kiev seems a bad move. He would have been better off playing in the Championship where he'd be guaranteed playing week in week out.

White had a decent first half.
What that first half has shown me is the errors Southgate has made in his squad selection. Mings is showing what a poor defender he is and how sparse our options in central defence with him and the injured Maguire in the squad. The other is that Ward Prowse should have been selected in the squad with question marks over Henderson's fitness. He's had a better half than Phillips and would make a better partner for Rice than him.
So, there are two areas in the squad that need fixing but only one place available.

I know this is JWP’s selling point. And with his excellent set pieces it’s a good one.
But is he actually going to feature much for England’s first team? Who’s he going to replace? That’s the bit I don’t get.
Give us a link? I've no idea how to find stuff on Tw@tter - I'm not even a member - so let some of the rest of us have a peal, eh? Please .......

Not a fan of Grealish at club level - does my head in, but love having him in an England shirt as he’s so confident and direct.
Think injuries was the main problem but yes it might have been better for him to go to a slightly smaller club.

Well I was close!!
Did he/we have that option though? Not all Championship clubs want one of our loanees - look at the problem we had getting a decent loan for Molumby this year.

Well. Quite. It's all well and good that he can take a great corner. But pretty pointless if he's warming the bench.

"Missed by Mings AGAIN"
As soon as we play anyone with a half decent forward we are screwed

I don’t know how to link you a trending topic to be fair, but mark my words, everyone is blowing smoke up his derrière. As I type Stuart Pearce and Jim Proudfoot are championing Ben to be ahead of Mings. It’s mad.

Yeh fair point, may not have been an option. He just needs to go somewhere where he's getting regular football. He's been unlucky with injuries, but even when fit, I think he's just be a fringe player at Dynamo Kiev.
