Jack Grealish England v Republic of Ireland.
Man City midfielder Jack Grealish name-checked Newcastle star Anthony Gordon when asked if he was disappointed not to be in England’s Euros squad this summer.
Grealish was left out of the squad by Gareth Southgate, who preferred Anthony Gordon and Eberechi Eze.
“I’ll be honest with you, I didn’t really agree,” Grealish said The Telegraph. “Do I think I should have gone? I still think yes, I should have, but obviously I shouldn’t have.
“I felt like I didn’t have the best season. Look at some players, for example, in my position. Even the likes of Phil Foden, Anthony Gordon, Jarrod Bowen, people like that, scored a lot of goals, which I agree with 100 per cent.
“But I just know that my game is not just goals. I think I give a lot more to the team than just goals. And I think you need a bit of balance in all positions on the pitch and now I consider myself a very experienced player. I have played many important matches, Champions League finals, FA Cup finals and now I’ve won a lot of things,” said Grealish.
