Super_horns Posted 16 March 2017 Share Posted 16 March 2017 Some of our fans were calling for Deeney to get pick - he was never going to be but only having 3 strikers does show we are lacking (I presume if Kane was fit one of the strikers picked wouldn't be in it?) Defoe is the man in form I guess and it seems Vardy's form has picked up for you guys. Rashford is one for the future but not played much this season has he?

They should sack this referring to players by the country they play for, he was born in Nottingham, bought up in Nottingham, never bloody left Nottingham until we signed him.

To be fair, before last season, if I had been Morgan, unknown to the protection of narrow and compact play, I would have fancied my chances with Jamaica over England...

st albans fox Posted 16 March 2017 Share Posted 16 March 2017 Strange that Danny doesn't seem to be available for England even though he plays for us. This will be the second time on the bounce that he will play PL games either side of an international break and not be available for call up. Must have an underlying condition for Southgate to be ok about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanSP Posted 16 March 2017 Author Share Posted 16 March 2017 On BBC Site Iain Dennis refers to Drinkwater's 'fitness programme' Quote Danny Drinkwater isn't injured - he will play for Leicester this weekend - but due to his fitness programme probably wouldn't benefit by being with England next week.

Simpson is worth a place in the squad. I agree that he is ineffective going foward which is what England want with their full backs, but defensivley he is quality - very few get past him. If England were one goal up with 15 minutes to go in a major tournament surely Simpson has to be an option off the bench? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brucey Posted 16 March 2017 Share Posted 16 March 2017 Danny Drinkwater has ruled himself out of England selection so he can continue to play a key role for Leicester City in the Premier League and Champions League. There was surprise today when Drinkwater was excluded from Gareth Southgate's England squad despite playing regularly for City. However, Drinkwater was not named in the squad because of an injury issue, believed to be related to a groin problem he had earlier in the season. It is not serious enough to stop Drinkwater playing for City and he is expected to feature against West Ham United on Saturday, but it is something that the City medical staff are managing so it doesn't deteriorate into an injury that will sideline him. It has been unanimously decided it is better for Drinkwater to rest during next week's international break rather than overload the injury and cause it to become a serious problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest CityFan 06 Posted 16 March 2017 Share Posted 16 March 2017 I think the call-ups for Keane, especially Defoe and also Vardy were fair. Sounds a sensible move by all parties re. Drinkwater, it's a shame he can't feature for England as we all know he can be top draw, but it could be beneficial in the long run with our schedule.
