birminghammail--2020-11-12--Jamie Redknapp has theory over Southgate's handling of Grealish

Jamie Redknapp has sympathy with Gareth Southgate over the constant clamour for Jack Grealish to play for England - but firmly believes the Aston Villa captain should be in the side .
Southgate once again faced questions about Grealish at a press conference ahead of tonight 's friendly against the Republic of Ireland at Wembley .
Grealish is expected to make his third England appearance against the country he used to represent at youth level but many feel the 25-year-old should have more senior caps to his name .
Former Villa defender Southgate this week hit out at his perceived @ @ @ @ @ @ @ jibe about the 'memes ' on social media that hint the Three Lions boss prefers Chelsea 's Mason Mount .
Redknapp thinks it 's clear Southgate is now becoming tired of questions over Grealish 's role for England but says the calls to include him in the starting XI are more than justified .
The former Liverpool midfielder told the Pitch to Post podcast : `` Gareth won ’ t get a lot of time with his players in terms of setting up how you want to play , there 's only three @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fixture ) .
`` It 's just important you say to Grealish 'when we haven ’ t got the ball , this is what I want from you ' .
`` There are players like that .
When I played for Liverpool we had Steve McManaman .
We played in a three and Steve was so good on the ball that at times when we lost it he would maybe leave you a bit exposed .
`` But that was fine , I knew what I had to do and take the good @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so good .
Steve was a little bit like Grealish , playing a little bit off the cuff . ''
Grealish has been in superb form for Villa this season with four goals and five assists in just seven Premier League appearances .
`` You have to weigh up what you get , '' said Redknapp .
`` We 're not a team that 's ( overly ) free-flowing , we 're not a team that scores bundles of goals .
`` Why not give Grealish that opportunity ?
He ’ s on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ playing for a team now that are struggling at the bottom of the table , they 've beaten the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool .
`` I know you can ’ t be dictated by what the fans want but if he ( Southgate ) does n't like him , just let that happen organically .
If he 's not doing a good enough job , people will find out anyway .
`` But we ’ re not in a position where we have enough good players to say we don ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s obviously a frustration to him .
You can see he doesn ’ t like talking about him , which I get - I ’ d be the same if I was the manager . ''

A former Solihull mayor suffered fractured ribs after being "thrown in the air" while trying to stop a car-jacker speeding off in a neighbour’s vehicle.
Retired policeman Joe Tildesley said he felt incredibly lucky to avoid more serious injuries after being struck by the stolen Audi.
Cllr Tildesley, aged 67, had rushed into the street to help after hearing screams last Thursday afternoon (November 5).
His wife Joan and the car’s owner had bravely tried to open the Audi’s doors as the ex-inspector approached its front.
At this point the masked man "roared off" the driveway and the vehicle struck Cllr Tildesley (Con, St Alphege) a glancing blow, leaving him on the ground.
At Warwick Hospital the following day, doctors confirmed he had fractured his ribs but speaking to the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS) this week, he said he felt fortunate as it "could have been a lot worse."
"I’m just reflecting on the stupidity of standing in front of a stolen vehicle. It was a stupid thing to do at 67-years-old and it will be the last time.
"[I feel] the luckiest person going that the injuries are very minor. I’m very fortunate in that respect."

Cllr Tildesley, who entered local politics after retiring from the police and has represented the area for 13 years, said he had had "no time" to think.
"I don’t think it lasted more than 15 seconds,” he said of the incident, which unfolded in Welcombe Grove at around 4.30pm.
While he had declined to go to hospital on the day he went for treatment on the Friday.
Having recuperated over the weekend, he addressed Solihull's planning committee last night joking that "any rumours that a by-election is required are strongly denied."
He has praised the emergency services and the "time and energy" police had put into the investigation.
But he was slightly concerned that the force’s response to the 999 call had taken some 12 minutes - given the leafy street’s proximity to the town centre.
Cllr Tildesley has appealed for anyone who witnessed the robbery or has any information to contact officers and voiced hopes that those responsible are caught and brought to justice.
It’s understood three men in balaclavas were involved in the crime, two of whom had driven off in a separate vehicle in the moments before their accomplice was able to make his getaway.
"Let’s just hope that at the end of all this, the offenders get arrested and go before a judge and jury and we will see what happens at that stage. That’s a successful outcome."
Residents are also urged to be on their guard now the clocks have gone back - with certain crimes becoming more common during the winter months.
Last year it was reported that the borough was among the top 10 car crime hotspots in the UK.
Solihull MP Julian Knight said: "When I heard a councillor had intervened in a carjacking, it was no surprise to me that it was Joe. He’s a former policeman, and I could think of no-one better in this situation.
"I’m sure Joe will join me in urging all residents to exercise caution and keep a close eye out in these darker nights. As ever, I’d ask locals to report any concerns or suspicious activity to police."
West Midlands Police confirmed they were investigating the incident and that the car - an Audi S3 - had since been recovered.
The other vehicle, a grey Ford Focus ST, had pulled up while the homeowner was entering her property and a struggle ensued.
A spokesman said: "Enquiries are continuing and anyone with information can contact us via Live Chat at www.west.midlands.police.uk, 8am to midnight, or call 101 anytime.
"To remain anonymous call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 quoting crime ref 20SH/271929U/20."

"Every year we get bigger and better and Peter is even thinking about putting lights around the side of the house and at the back next year.
"We've run out of room at the front so we need to start thinking outside the box."
Tracey and her family are using their fantastic festive display to try and raise money for NHS charities.
She said: "The health service has done an amazing job this year to help us through the pandemic so we thought we would try and give something back."
Visitors to her house can drop money off while those from further afield can contribute online via crowdfunding site JustGiving.

Michelle, from Hull, said the youngest was around nursery age, with the other two aged between six and ten.

"But if you are keeping your children off school because of coronavirus, don’t go into supermarkets with all three children and then proceed to let them touch all items."
