Hirsty The Blue 94 Posted 18 February 2016 Posted 18 February 2016 If Vardy doesn't go he might aswell retire. If scoring 25+ goals, winning the premier league, golden boot and pfa player of the year whilst also having a Hollywood blockbuster made after you and your own flavour of crisps is not enough to get you past Fanny Welbeck in the pecking order you're never going to get in.
TeamRocket Posted 19 February 2016 Posted 19 February 2016 The only reason he does want JV is because he doesn't fit the image and well RH is ...... head
Dan Posted 19 February 2016 Posted 19 February 2016 Well then Woy needs to swallow his pride and play a fast, low possession game; you're not going to get much possession against the top sides, so rather than being turgidly shit as per why not try playing something we've seen to be effective rather than trying to match Spain at their own game and showing England to be hilariously second rate at it. We saw some of the evidence against Spain and I'd imagine we'll see it again against Germany. If Hodgson was to go to Germany and approach them with a solid, counter-attacking game, I would eat my words and give England a proper chance of springing a surprise at the Euros, and he's got an excellent chance to do that with Rooney being injured. I doubt it though. He's not a risk taker and changing from his beloved 4-2-3-1 which brought down the powerhouses of Slovenia and Estonia will remain.
Captain... Posted 19 February 2016 Posted 19 February 2016 What's with this pic Not been following sky sports today http://www.vice.com/en_uk/read/a-deep-dive-into-the-new-england-football-team-official-euro-2016-suit-photos-206 It is thoroughly depressing picture, apart from the fact it looks like CGI, they just look so miserable and uninspiring. No flair, no creativity, no imagination, just a bunch of joyless posers in M&S suits FFS.
Phube Posted 3 March 2016 Posted 3 March 2016 I really think Roy is seriously taking the piss now! From the Guardian: Roy Hodgson has offered up the intriguing possibility of Marcus Rashford forcing his way into the England Football Team squad at Euro 2016 after revealing he has tracked the teenager’s progress for the past two years
Guest ttfn Posted 3 March 2016 Posted 3 March 2016 I really think Roy is seriously taking the piss now! From the Guardian: Just saw this. Not sure Hodgson is being entirely fairly represented here but he doesn't need to be talking about Rashford. England have already got several mature strikers ready to play in the euros without resorting to Man United's reserve team.
benpicko Posted 3 March 2016 Posted 3 March 2016 I really think Roy is seriously taking the piss now! From the Guardian: Christ Imagine if Vardy somehow doesn't even get the bench because of Rashford
SystonFox Posted 3 March 2016 Posted 3 March 2016 Gotta be bullshit about him tracking him for two years. I work with a die hard Yanited fan (a manc to boot!) and before three weeks ago he'd never heard of the kid. Legit

Legit Well people within the game especially in Hodgson's position usually have far more sources to know about a player before even the most die hard fan
FoxInTheBirstallBox Posted 3 March 2016 Posted 3 March 2016 Supporting either austria or Italy if vardy isn't there or maybe even in the first 11 and welbeck/sturridge is **** these elitist arse licking bastards
foxes_rule1978 Posted 3 March 2016 Posted 3 March 2016 If he picks rashford or welbeck ahead of Vardy, it would just be a continuation of every tournament England have been in and failed in...
Super_horns Posted 3 March 2016 Posted 3 March 2016 Going by Hodgson's comments on Sky Jack Wilshere is likely to go.. Might as well just take 22 players then as he hardly going to be that match fit and injury prone..
nnfox Posted 3 March 2016 Posted 3 March 2016 Going by Hodgson's comments on Sky Jack Wilshere is likely to go.. Might as well just take 22 players then as he hardly going to be fit and injury prone.. I saw him say this too! FFS Wilshere hasn't played for club or country since June! You just know he'll go instead of Drinky or Noble. Jokes
Carl the Llama Posted 4 March 2016 Posted 4 March 2016 Not even funny is it? "Players are either fit to play or not," Hodgson said. "Whether they play 30 games, 40 games, 10 games, 15 games, eight games, I don't understand that. "For me, it's all about the class of the player. It's about who is in form and out of form. Even to some extent I have to rely on others' judgement on that. "Form is transient, but class isn't, " he added. "We need classy players and players we can trust and players we know what they will give us and players who have the desire, motivation and wish to play for England, to do all that's necessary. "Luckily we have some of those. But let's be realistic, we are not in the 60, 70 and 80s when it comes to those. If there are 30 players who reach the high standards I demand, we will have to pick 23 from them." Which is it Roy? Class or form? Actually I don't care it's too depressing that the England manager in 2016 is still talking in terms of some nebulous 'class' and not the many stats we now have to measure players' real life contributions during matches.
Phube Posted 4 March 2016 Posted 4 March 2016 It's pretty simple really: Class = Plays for the 'Big 5' or Spurs Form = plays for any one else! I thought that was well known?
st albans fox Posted 4 March 2016 Posted 4 March 2016 Who cares - England will never win anything because of the way they play and the mentality of the management. With or without LCFC players in the squad. I'd prefer our lads to be relaxing somewhere and not picking up an injury in an extra 'competitive' fixture. as far as the tournament is concerned, the teams with players in summer tournaments generally start slowly in August. Would be nice for some of the boys to be recognised (those who aren't already) but England will never do them justice and we will only risk injury with the, on duty.
Matty Hamez Posted 4 March 2016 Posted 4 March 2016 Just saw this. Not sure Hodgson is being entirely fairly represented here but he doesn't need to be talking about Rashford. England have already got several mature strikers ready to play in the euros without resorting to Man United's reserve team. Plus when asked about Drinky, he refused to comment at all and basically said we only think he's good because we're Leicester fans. Then some kid plays 3 games for united and Roy's not ruling him out, even though we're much stronger up front than midfield.
Socks Posted 4 March 2016 Posted 4 March 2016 If Rashford goes to the Euros it will be one of the biggest jokes of English football hes played 3 games goddamit Woy
Voll Blau Posted 4 March 2016 Posted 4 March 2016 Can't wait for Kingy to bag an 89th minute shinner against us in Lens... Can genuinely see myself being more arsed about his progress this summer than England's at this rate. There's never been a better chance for us to do something different and pick a young, exciting team - but you know players are just going to be picked based on their club's traditional reputation. It's a joke.
TheUltimateWinner Posted 4 March 2016 Posted 4 March 2016 Remember when Lingard got in the england squad after only playing like 2 games? Wilshere has also been assured if he is fit he will go to euros, he said it in an interview a few months ago. Man is a joke.
Oxfordfox83 Posted 4 March 2016 Posted 4 March 2016 I think we're thinking along the same lines here. Although we conceded to Italy and Uraguay's top strikers. The fact they were both ex-Premier League was coincidence. I think my point stands though. If you were looking on, as a person that didn't follow the Premier League closely then you'd probably be more worried about Rooney than a lesser known player. Perfect example; who worries you more? Franck Ribery or Hatem Ben Arfa? Hodgson seems to want to keep the tried and trusted failed England side rather than gambling on lesser known players in exceptional form. Fixed
Benguin Posted 4 March 2016 Posted 4 March 2016 Is there actually talk that Vardy might not go? That'd be the most rediculous thing ever!
goose2010 Posted 4 March 2016 Posted 4 March 2016 This is why I have booked a holiday through the group stages and hope our players do to, if I was Drinkwater or even Albrighton and didn't get a sniff in the friendlies I would be looking in the family tree for my Irish / Welsh relative. Its is the reason we haven't won anything for 50 years.
Guest Col city fan Posted 4 March 2016 Posted 4 March 2016 Heard on the radio that Woy is seriously considering Rashford for the squad and that Wilshere is 'almost a certainty' to go...
