Should Grealish be an impact sub or starter for England?

Jack Grealish has started only three of the previous 11 competitive England games and is increasingly becoming an impact substitute under Gareth Southgate - but does the Manchester City forward deserve a starting berth?

The Three Lions struggled for rhythm in the final third in their 1-1 draw with Germany in the Nations League on Tuesday until the introduction of Grealish down the left flank with 20 minutes to go helped force a late equaliser.

Speaking after the game, Southgate challenged Grealish to improve his tactical know-how and all-round game if he is to become a regular starter at international level.

However, as was the case at the Euros, the calls for Grealish to start are ringing louder again - but are they justified?

"At the start of the game the challenge for the wide players was to attack, defend and to try and score goals - high tactical level and you've got to be spot on - and that's an area Jack can get better at.

"What he did do was carry the ball as the game opened up with a little bit more space and opportunity. The impact both he and Jarrod Bowen had was really important in those attacking areas.

"There is a good challenge there among those players but we've got to keep pushing them."

Those numbers become strikingly impressive when compared to team-mates
