England have been in an awkward position in the front-back position since Joe Cole faded out of the Three Lions squad, with no decent attacking midfielder in years. In 2018, Jesse Lingard and Delek Alli's poor performances at the World Cup limited the team's playing heights. In recent years, however, the Three Lions' young talents have gradually emerged, and Mason Mount and Jack Grealish are both offensive midfielders that Gareth Southgate can reuse. But who will be part of the starting list?
Let's start with Jack Grillish, the Aston Villa captain who has a very outstanding and comprehensive personal ability, he can single-handedly break through the opponent's defense line and can pass and shoot. At Aston Villa, he is an absolute "nuclear-in-nuclear" presence, whether it is organizing offensives, handling set-pieces, counter-attacking raids, jack Grelish is a good player. The 25-year-old midfielder mainly looks for opportunities on the flanks and occasionally cuts inside to do the ball. In this season, Jack Grelish has handed over a terrifying stat of four goals and five assists in seven Premier League games, and it is believed that there will be no objection to putting him on the regular selection list.
Compared to Jack Grelich, who is a free-wheeled talented player, Mason Mount is a player with strong tactical execution. As long as the head coach gives orders, he will desperately carry them out. Therefore, in Lampard's frontcourt counter-attack tactics, Mason Mount, who runs a lot and is active in defending, must exist. But in addition to the back-and-forth strength, Mason Mount's talent is not inferior to That of Jack Grillish, the 21-year-old has good passing and propulsion, and because of his skills are very comprehensive, he can play in multiple positions in the midfield, such as winger, forward, midfield, etc., have all been seen in him.
At this stage, the editor believes that Jack Grelish's appearance pick should be before Mason Mount, because the Aston Villa captain can become the core of the team's frontcourt and connect harry Kane, Jaden Sancho and Sterling, who are often fighting separately, to provide the team with more reliable and comprehensive creativity. Mason Mount certainly has his place, and in strong battles, the defensive Mason Mount can be Gareth Southgate's pawn to win back the sweetness in the midfield battle.
