It’s taken an awfully long while for Jack Grealish to work his way into the England set up, and after a fantastic performance on his first start against Wales, it was something of a surprise to see him on the bench against Belgium.
England manager, Gareth Southgate, had evidently reverted to type and gone with the tried and tested players rather than risk a ‘maverick’ like Grealish from the get go.
However, the swashbuckling Aston Villa midfielder offers the national team something completely different, and talkSPORT’s Adrian Durham was disgusted by Grealish’s omission.
“Southgate could’ve solved the HT problems by picking the right team in the first place!”
“I can’t see a reason why Grealish didn’t start last night.” ?
“England aren’t going to do anything without Jack Grealish!” ?@talkSPORTDrive reacts to England vs Belgium ????????? pic.twitter.com/sBBYye9o3X

Absolutely 100% agree Southgate just plods on same old tactics same old faces I’m sorry on current form he’s ahead of Mount , Henderson , Sancho , this is a personal thing with Southgate as a tactician he’s a negative clown.
Well said Adrian Durham, Southgate has a problem either with Grealish or Aston Villa, second only to DeBruyne in stats last season and yet won’t pick him despite being man of the match v Wales. He woyrathet have Mount his love child and yet both looked good together in the friendly. All he talks aboyis Mount even when asked about Jack, I for one can’t wait to see Southgate sacked he’s useless and childish.
If Jack played for United, city or a London club he would be straight in the team. Southgate said he will only pick players who are on form. Why is Cody and Ming’s not in the team when the donkey McGuire is being picked.
Southgate has a personal problem with Grealih. If thats the case he should not be England manager. Personal feelings have no place in selecting a team to represent a country. I am a Villa fan & loved Southgate with Ehiogu in defence. but if he ignores Grealish he needs firing.
