  • Grealish and Slabhead out now. Not sure about Bowen over Jack myself.

  • I used to like Grealish a lot but I now just think he slows up the play and takes too many touches. Great at drawing fouls but not unhappy to see him out.

    England have got Gordon to fill that role.

  • Indeed.
    I imagine that we will rely quite a lot on quick breaks against the better sides and that means, winning the ball and getting up the pitch quickly with direct running. If so, that clearly suits Bowen more than Grealish. Grealish may well have been better against the "lesser" teams who we need to break down, but I guess Southgate is hoping we have enough to get past them and is planning more for the knockout rounds.
