RowlattsFox Posted 27 May 2016 Share Posted 27 May 2016 Drinkwater was better positionally as the holding midfielder but not sure that'll be enough. Was no worse than any other midfielder but feel he had to be outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smudger63 Posted 27 May 2016 Share Posted 27 May 2016 I thought Drinky had a decent game, certainly one of our better players, in my opinion. As for the new Messiah Rashford, am i the only one that the goal apart, thought he was a little bit crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tielemans63 Posted 27 May 2016 Share Posted 27 May 2016 Rashford did really well but John Stones was the best player on the pitch by a million miles. Barkley played his way out of the squad and Henderson was very rusty. Wilshere did some nice things first half but got nowhere near Rogic - a better player would have buried England by half time. Drinky has to go but then I am ridiculously biased. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 27 May 2016 Share Posted 27 May 2016 Not disappointed we lost but fielded a very young and inexperienced side against a team warming up for a major tournament. Good for the future and goal of qualifying for the WC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted 27 May 2016 Share Posted 27 May 2016 I think drinkwater is likely to go as Dier looks like he will be the backup centre half . There is no need for Barkley. Doesn't offer anything. Barkley Delph and Stu ridge to miss the plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is young and in a tournement, the opposition will suss out how to play against him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinowe Soorie Posted 27 May 2016 Share Posted 27 May 2016 Poor performance from Drinky tonight. Hope he's done enough in his previous games to get on the ferry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col city fan Posted 27 May 2016 Share Posted 27 May 2016 John Stones was superb. And showing exactly what he could play like if he joined a decent team. Lallana....just why? Drinkwater I'm afraid didn't have the performance he needed to give Woy no choice but to take him. After that it's touch and go if he makes the squad. Generally we were really poor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaiFox Posted 27 May 2016 Share Posted 27 May 2016 Rashford MOTM? Really? Amazing! Hit a scuffed goal and did not a lot else. Played only one half too! Drinky will miss out. He had to be outstanding tonight. Woy will go for his usual crowd. What a boring, performance. Woy must be delighted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steflcfc Posted 27 May 2016 Share Posted 27 May 2016 Drinky was more himself second half Bar a couple of sloppy passes last 5 Kept the game ticking along nicely Lose Sturridge And one of Barkley Hendo or Lallana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koke Posted 27 May 2016 Share Posted 27 May 2016 Drinkwater was poor but he will go because Dier will fill in as a CB if needed. Sturridge, Delph and someone else will drop out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxxed Posted 27 May 2016 Share Posted 27 May 2016 So, scanning the live text for this, drinky was mentioned once during the line up and then again to ask, if Roy takes Rashford, who would be not take. Doesn't sound like it was his finest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manwell Pablo Posted 27 May 2016 Share Posted 27 May 2016 Why not? He has repeatedly said that drinkwater has mis placed passes or isnt 'fitting' into the system. At least 4 times. Then the unbeleivable amount of digs at Vardy the other night. The one I quoted earlier being a particularly stand out example. Why cant he say impartially "well that was poor by Dier, he was under no pressure and had other options."? Well predominantly because that would be an utter nonsense, you can see there is no one near him but he doesn't have a clue who is lurking where and it would be a dangerous ball if someone had made a run, getting it behind is the right thing to do his execution is just shit. Secondly because his comments about drinkwater are correct, he did give the ball away and he doesn't suit a diamond. Thirdly he probably did feel sorry for him because he hasn't actually played centre back for awhile. Forthly making negative comments on a performance over a length of time is much more warranted than a one off mistake, as I say when it comes to mistakes like that commentators will often reframe from heavy criticsm. He is getting a round of fcks off lee Dixon now if it makes you feel any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Socks Posted 27 May 2016 Share Posted 27 May 2016 What has Henderson shown tonight? that he can shoot 50 ft above the bar with every shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vardinio'sCat Posted 27 May 2016 Share Posted 27 May 2016 I think this whole 23 from 26 was a mistake, players should be settling down together, not playing for a place in the squad. If Roy wasn't so keen on injury limited players, we wouldn't have seen so much nervousness. One more thing, I'm old enough to remember Bobby Robson getting slaughtered for years, and then totally turn it round at Italia 90. Nothing is impossible, we know that better than anybody.

Koke Posted 27 May 2016 Share Posted 27 May 2016 I can see why other fans don't see what the fuss is about DD. Football fans tend to over rate their own players. Look at West Ham fans who think all their English players should be playing for England, but the rest of us think Noble is nothing more than an OK player. We do over rate DD as well to an extend if we are honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfox Posted 27 May 2016 Share Posted 27 May 2016 Yet again that was uninspiring. Stones needed a performance like that, very impressive tonight, Bertrand looked decent at times. Drinkwater much better in the second half, just his tracking back at times that let him down. As for players to drop, Henderson, Wilshere, Barkley & Sterling have shown nothing in my opinion. Delph & Sturridge possibly out through injury so those two along with one of the others I mentioned, maybe Barkley tbh, Alli, Rooney & Lallana can all play in the position he plays.

Bettsj2 Posted 27 May 2016 Share Posted 27 May 2016 Putting Leicester bias aside and speaking as an England fan, Drinkwater doesnt really have the dynamism as an international midfielder. After those performances, if he played for Liverpool, we'd be saying that he's only going because of who he plays for. If he goes, it'll be down to the lack of fitness of others rather than his international performances. He needed to take the game by the scruff of the neck tonight but instead, he looked to be shying away. That last minute pass that went out for a throw, Woy didnt look impressed at all.

We do over rate DD as well to an extend if we are honest. I don't agree. The problem isn't Drinkwater. We all know he's been exceptional all season. The problem is Hodgson and how he sets us up. I say once more...If we go on to do well in the Euro's it will be IN SPITE of Woy, not because of him. We have some really good players so we ought to do ok. But it won't be because of 6 million a year Roy Hodgson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drinkwater is a decent player but even for us he's not in the top 5 most important players for us. The only reason he's is in there is due to the lack of fitness to Wilshere and Hemderson. Like it or not but t Wilshire is a superior footballer to Drinkwater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
