Former Aston Villa player turned pundit Chris Sutton talks about why he thinks Gareth Southgate prefers Mason Mount to Jack Grealish in England BBC Sport.
Talking about Gareth Southgate’s tactical options for England’s squad, Sutton spoke of the flaws he saw playing Greeley and not even Mount.
Sutton said: “I think Mount lost possession and Gareth trusted him more, and I think that’s the issue between Mount and Grealish.
“[Against]the better team, (Southgate) will be in a 3-4-3 – the best balance is Sterling and Rashford.
“I don’t believe Greeley has a place in a 3-4-3. I believe (England) is a better threat (using a 3-4-3) and will get more out of Kane.”
In the same conversation, New York Times chief football correspondent Rory Smith said he would include Greeley in the England squad. However, he added that the Villa star could be left on the bench against “the better international teams”.
“If you play a 4-3-3, you can play Jordan Henderson, Mount – because he’s the most versatile – and then the horses on the pitch,” Smith said. Against the team you’re in, you’ll Hit Grealish.”
Whichever option he uses, it’s a big deal for Southgate, as Mount and Greeley have been fantastic this season.
