Vardinio'sCat 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 Some decent players there, quite impressed that they tried to play out, less direct than I expected.

Mrfox452 Posted 27 May 2016 Share Posted 27 May 2016 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. Agreed. I dont support England, but Roy Hodgson is ****ing useless. If he had put Drinky and Vardy against Turkey, you would have seen what they were capable of. Drinky didnt have a great game today but if you put another manager in charge of that team you wouldnt be so shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m4DD0gg Posted 27 May 2016 Share Posted 27 May 2016 Just face it, after yet another successful qualifying campaign against part time dentists and builders its back to tournament reality. Fully expect both Wales and Russia to beat us comfortably and us go out in first round. Still its a young team and theres always the world cup in two years.

Buzzell Posted 27 May 2016 Share Posted 27 May 2016 Drinkwater looks much more confident when Vardy's on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st albans fox Posted 27 May 2016 Share Posted 27 May 2016 If he doesn't take DD then he never had any real intention of taking him. He was only ever there as cover for Henderson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxes21 Posted 27 May 2016 Share Posted 27 May 2016 Drinkwater doesn't suit how England play unfortunately. Which is slow, studs on the ball, build up play. That's not Danny's game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mampi Posted 27 May 2016 Share Posted 27 May 2016 I got flamed on the last England match thread for suggesting Drinkwater isn't international class - and he proved it again for me tonight. He seems capable of scrapping a ball back, then knocking it over the top. Doesn't seem to offer much else, and only works with Vardy. Don't blame Roy's system - the abuse he gets on here is very un fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webbo Posted 27 May 2016 Share Posted 27 May 2016 Typical knee jerk over reaction on here. It was a mixture of first choice and reserves in a pre tournament friendly, which we won, and all of a sudden Wales are going to thrash us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbury Fox Posted 27 May 2016 Share Posted 27 May 2016 DD had a much better second half but didn't demand the ball enough. Shame Vardy wasn't playing, as DD would have been playing him in all night long given the space the Aussies were leaving in behind. As for Rashford, he clearly has bags of potential but if he played for West Brom, had scored 7 in 20 games in the Prem plus a goal against a reserve Australia team in a meaningless friendly, would he be the "certainty" he now appears to be?

IOWFOX Posted 27 May 2016 Share Posted 27 May 2016 To have any chance of getting into the squad you have to do as instructed by the manager and that has to be what drinky was doing. He looked decent 2nd half but he didn't press as much, didn't get his head up as much and didn't look to be as creative as he can be. He didn't generally have alot of runners or options but he looked like a man instructed to play it safe and simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpinneyHillRanger Posted 27 May 2016 Share Posted 27 May 2016 You're spot on. 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. Depends a lot on how you want to play. Someone like Sherrington or Le Toaster might have been better footballers than someone like vardy... but we wouldn't play them in the vardy position for Leicester. Same with drinky, he always sees an early pass and is always involved when playing for us. So.eone like Wiltshire might not be able to do the dog work that drinky does for us. Same goes with England. Woy should pick the players he thinks can do a job for him and those in form. To be honest, in would be unjust to let players in the form of Barkley or sterling to go ahead of townsend. Drinky showed more than Henderson but there wasn't much in it. To be fair Drinky doesn't really stamp his authority on the game the way he can for us. Either way whether drinky goes or not, I will see it as a positive for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all, can you imagine how up for it Wales are going to be?! Especially with one of woys plodding teams....watching england in a proper tournament is like self harming. I hope they beat us.

Gforce19 Posted 27 May 2016 Share Posted 27 May 2016 Unfortunately DD is behind Dier,Wilshere,Henderson, Rooney if he plays in midfield , I would think he will be dropped from the squad , if he does then at least he can have a couple more weeks rest ready for next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lcfc82 Posted 27 May 2016 Share Posted 27 May 2016 Woy was suggesting in his interview that Sturridge would go if he trains on Monday and he won't dare leave rashford out now. So drinkwater could be under threat, he didn't do enough tonight to give woy no option but to pick him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaiFox 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. Totally agree about the 23/26. It's another terrible decision from a hopeless manager. There are players playing against players, not against the opposition. It looked obvious. How many times did the midfielders try to link up? All the seemed to do was pass back or forward, or try something spectacular to catch the eye. They didn't look to link up just in case another midfielder did something good and they'd lose their place. Yet another reason Woy is such a useless manager. At least I should get a good nights kip after watching that rubbish. However, I'm sure Woy is as delighted as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxes21 Posted 27 May 2016 Share Posted 27 May 2016 Is it possible Drinkwater is knackered from this season? The shift he's had to put in this season, far outweighs England's other CM options. His England performances have been polar opposite to when he plays for us. He could just be knackered and need a rest instead of going to the Euros..?!

ramadaone Posted 27 May 2016 Share Posted 27 May 2016 Has no chance of going which is good news for LCFC Just aimless training for the next 4 weeks with no game time would be pointless Let him have a proper break and come back fighting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is quality & clearly class, I wouldn't want any other English midfielder in our team over him! He cant excel at international level, because this England team play a boring style which doesn't suit him. To say, he's 'a decent player, but that's about it', is quite frankly, a disgrace.
