Les-TA-Jon Posted 4 March 2016 Share Posted 4 March 2016 It's actually laughable. For years we've been a 2nd tier (at best!) international side. We can't compete with the likes of Spain and Germany etc. And yet we always try and control the game, and go for possession and passing with our 'class' players. Could do with taking the LCFC approach of "F**king go for it" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merging Cultures Posted 5 March 2016 Share Posted 5 March 2016 I've been having an argument with a guy on reddit. He is all for 'class' players. I don't even know what that means. There is no definition, except that they can pass the ball sideways very nicely. He is very against players being on form and having passion. Makes no sense to me. I'd rather have players who are top of the league, scoring goals, on form and hard working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m4DD0gg Posted 8 March 2016 Share Posted 8 March 2016 Vardy has a GBP30m buyout clause apparently. If true cant see anyone paying that given his age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merging Cultures Posted 8 March 2016 Share Posted 8 March 2016 If true cant see anyone paying that given his age. I disagree a little, while his body was worked hard doing physical manual labour in the carbon fibre factory, and he was probably kicked horribly while playing in the lower leagues, his body hasn't been subjected to the same intense training from a very young age that players like Rooney have. Plus he has a very lightweight frame. So, there is potential that he could last another 3-4 seasons at the same intensity. But personally, I like that is GBP30m (if true) so that it does ward off potential buyers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deejdeej Posted 8 March 2016 Share Posted 8 March 2016 Is anyone listening to Hodgson on talk sport at the moment. Depressing.How many times has he answered a question about a player in form with 'well we still have Wayne wooney'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted 8 March 2016 Share Posted 8 March 2016 What worries me is he said he is gonna pick players on ability not form . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl the Llama Posted 8 March 2016 Share Posted 8 March 2016 Is anyone listening to Hodgson on talk sport at the moment. Depressing. No... Same old guff about class and certain players should be happy just to be considered alongside the legions of players who have proven their class by earning contracts at teams like Man U and Arsenal?

Stevosevic Posted 8 March 2016 Share Posted 8 March 2016 This is why I still don't think Vardy will go. Kane Rooney Welbeck Sturridge will be his 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_marshall Posted 8 March 2016 Share Posted 8 March 2016 Is anyone listening to Hodgson on talk sport at the moment. Depressing. Sounds like Drinkwater has no chance of making the Euro's yet Wilshere's a shoe-in if fit. Also get the impression that Roy doesn't consider us a top team.

adam Posted 8 March 2016 Share Posted 8 March 2016 Hodgson reckons Wiltshire deserves a place because of his past performances. He is gonna pick who he thinks is the best player. Drinkwater and Noble won't get a chance . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted 8 March 2016 Share Posted 8 March 2016 Also he is more likely to pick a player who is on the bench at a top club ( walcott) than someone who is playing week in week out at a team lower down the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st albans fox Posted 8 March 2016 Share Posted 8 March 2016 On MOTD on Saturday did they not say something about how much Hodgson supposedly likes Drinkwater? I picked up on that aswell. Guess we'll find out when the the squad is announced. Of course Roy may have decided to wait till the World Cup campaign to restructure his team around DD !

foxer Posted 8 March 2016 Share Posted 8 March 2016 Having listened to that I think hes even more of a moron than I originally thought. If as I expect, he doesnt pick either vardy or drinky, then I'm going to support wales instead. I'm not even slightly welsh but at least they've got a couple of city players who have been picked on merit rather than a load of roys old favourites who don't give a sh1t. Jack Wilshire. The thought of that makes me feel physically sick. The fact he's even considering it shows his complete incompetence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course Roy may have decided to wait till the World Cup campaign to restructure his team around DD ! Been quoted today as saying Drinkwater and Noble are "nearly ready" for England. By "nearly ready" I can only assume he thinks the pair of them are not far away from being capable of adapting to sideways, safe balls all the time. With a bit more time hopefully Drinkwater will realise that it's too dangerous to play a ball forward or drive at the opposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan LCFC Posted 8 March 2016 Share Posted 8 March 2016 Wilshere's a very tidy player in my eyes but when did he last even kick a ball? He needs to leave Arsenal and join a club who might actually manage him properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thought of that makes me feel physically sick. The fact he's even considering it shows his complete incompetence. That was my thoughts too. To quote Henry Ford "If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got". Sums up England and Hodgson perfectly. No wonder we never progress as a nation, the institution that governs football in this country are so archaic it's unreal. Leicester have consistently outperformed every other team in the PL this season despite most being packed with the majority of Europe's international superstars all of whom we'll face as a nation in the summer, and Hodgson wants to ignore our players and revert back to the same group that have consistently failed to deliver time and time again in international football. Its been building for quite sometime, but sadly I really don't enjoy watching England anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
