That story about the dog poo is brilliant,and typical of the man.A bit like Rodney’s comment to Sir Alf Ramsey about a cup of tea and an orange. |  | |  |

Watching the Ireland v England game I find myself again amazed that Grealish can be considered ahead of Eze. Is it because I am biased toward Eze? I know I am. Or is it that Grealish really is overrated? |
I don't get why everyone raves about Alexander Arnold. Bang average defending and his pass completion is poor. |  | | |

It's like a Championship side playing a Premier side. |
That’s because it is . |  | | |

Me, too. Though ireland gave him far, far too much space.
Eze has a half a chance. I wonder if an Eze goal would net us some cash? |  |

I love Eze as much as anyone and in time I think he can be a fine England player but he hasn’t shown a lot for England as yet. He’s a reasonably slow starter when he takes a step up (even if playing the likes of Ireland is hardly a step up from Prem football) and there’s maybe a bit of imposter syndrome in there which will go over time. Grealish played like the old Grealish before Guardiola made him a passing robot. | | | |

One in five passes is quality - four in five shite. Dare I say Bartonesque? |  | | |

As a premier league player Eze is better than Grealish imo .He plays for Palace not City and still scores goals and creates chances for other players. | |

I’m not disagreeing but it takes time to step up. If Grealish plays like he did today then you can’t argue about him being picked. | | | |

That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

For England, Grealish is a regular quality performer
For me today, he was close to being the player of the match.
Eze is a completely different player but his brief appearance today was like all of his England appearances so far - uninspiring.
He takes the easy option with the pass. appears to lack confidence and has sadly not impressed for England as yet. Seems anxious.
Sorry Connell disagree on this one. |  |

I didn't say for England , as a premiership player Eze is better imo . Playing in a unfashionable side and still outstanding. | |

A fierce shot from outside the box and a reflex header doesn't scream lack of confidence. There were a number of times he moved into good spaces but England prioritised moving it out to right instead. His performances at Palace show what he can bring to a game. |  |

Eze has not even had a promotion on his CV in league football, let alone a champions medal.
I’ve seen Grealish run games, Eze does some great stuff but he’s never run a game in his career.
Eze’s good but he’s got to make a huge step up to be on Grealish level. |  | | |

Eze has been at Palace 3 seasons his last season was his most consistent by a mile the other 2 he was very in and out , to say he is a better player than Grealish is stretching it
No big club came in for Eze and they won’t until he does it week in week out
Today was clear to see how we missed Grealish at the Euros and also Gordon who should have played a hell of lot more than 2 minutes | |

I stick by what I said , football is about opinions and in my opinion Eze is the better player. | |

Ya,
Apparently he said to Givens:
"That wasn't much cop, what's ours like?"
"That was ours".
Ireland usually applaud oppo National Anthem. Very poor form today. |
They were also singing Lizzie is in a box 🙄 | | | |

Difference in class. So obvious 1st half. Ireland tightened up 2nd half but barely threatened. So ironic that England goals came from Rice and Grealish, given their history.
Not convinced England are a top 5 side. Not even in Europe. |  |

It's childish stuff, Brian. Not as if we didn't notice she died. Either you're a monarchist, in which case the whole point of the thing is that as soon as one dies you get another; or (like most of us IMO) you're not too fussed about royalty either way.
It'd be much more cutting (and nastier) if they were rude about David Attenborough or Michael Palin.
But England fans used to be terrible for booing foreign national anthems at Wembley (I think it's not so bad recently).
All flag-shagging is nonsense, international sport doesn't have to be like that. England are playing Sri Lanka at cricket right now and there's not a hint of any of that rubbish. | | | |

Recent tournaments would suggest we’re clearly a top five side in Europe. For the little they’re worth the world rankings have us fourth in the world and third in Europe. | | | |
