StanSP Posted 26 March 2017 Posted 26 March 2017 Hoddle praises Keane (correctly) before giving man of the match to Defoe. Also gives praise to Rashford for the impact he's had since coming on but refused to mention Vardy or the impact he's had despite scoring and being on the end of a couple of other chances . Hoddle is such a dick.
Manwell Pablo Posted 26 March 2017 Posted 26 March 2017 Just now, Donut said: 5 touches and a tap in. Defoe MOTM. Pretty funny I've got to say.
spacemunky Posted 26 March 2017 Posted 26 March 2017 Keane was excellent. I don't understand not using all 3 subs in a match like this.
urban.spaceman Posted 26 March 2017 Posted 26 March 2017 6 goals in 16 England caps. Thats better than Kane's 5 in 17. Just sayin.

Getting rid seeding is a bloody awful idea internationally its not feasible really without total reform of qualifying. If it was just us we'd be putting ourselves at a major disadvantage in the finals. There should be a per-qualifying, qualifying group, it should be an achievement to qualify for a World Cup, now its a pathetic cake walk! Remember the battle against Italy in Rome, that is what qualifying should be like! the World Cup should remain as only a 32 team competition and the Euro so revert to 16 teams. Seeding is the worse thing to happen to football, look at the Champions League, its incredible dull until the last 16. Seeding is one the reason England aren't battle harden, its so easy, what are the player learning in this group, nothing! Look at England group were is a Italy, Germany or a Holland to test us?
Tuna Posted 26 March 2017 Author Posted 26 March 2017 Hoddle's permanent erection over Spurs or ex Spurs players is getting embarrassing.
KingsX Posted 26 March 2017 Posted 26 March 2017 A pleasant surprise that the last 30 minutes were the best, improving a snoozefest qualifier. You looked a lot more dangerous with Vardy in. His style and workrate really seem to mesh. That said, think I’ll take a pass on Malta.

foxes_rule1978 Posted 26 March 2017 Posted 26 March 2017 Vardy did more than Defoe, but they gave him MoTM, thought we looked better with Rashford and vardy on in my view

It's unfeasible for world cups and I'm pretty sure seedings were in when we drew Italy anyway..... its ok until we draw Spain Italy Germany England and holland in one group and Andorra San Marino Kosovo Gibraltar and Lichtenstein in another, as I say without international reform wouldn't work. at the end of the day your saying there needs to be another qualifying round, you can't determine who's in that without s form of seeding
foxes_rule1978 Posted 26 March 2017 Posted 26 March 2017 Southgate is honest that is for sure, we were slow and he wanted to see more.
FoxesDeb Posted 26 March 2017 Posted 26 March 2017 I do like Gareth Southgate, I feel like he's the most honest manager we've had in a while. At least he tells us what he wants to see, let's just hope he gets it across to the players in the dressing room
Matt Posted 26 March 2017 Posted 26 March 2017 Vardy in playing down the middle and looking useful shocker! He was wasted under Woy's tactics, and tbh largely for the most part of this season, is it just me who's thought Vardy's looked like how he played for England/Woy for us this season? Wasted out wide, until the last few weeks and surprise surprise his form has improved.

As I said, pre-qualifying groups, weeded out the weakest teams, Kosovo, San Marino. It helps those teams to develop and allows the stronger teams to go through. Get rid of friendlies, releasing time to have larger, harder a groups, more competitive!

For a brand new nation, Kosovo are miles ahead of the likes of San Marino, Gibraltar in their quality to be fair to them. I think theyll grow to become similar quality to that of Montenegro, competitive and capable of scoring 10 or 11 points per group.

It a sad state of affairs that the best English manager is a failed Middlesbrough manager, before anyone says he was good with the under 21's so was bloody Taylor and Peace, two other poor managers!

If he was from another country we wouldnt be talking about his credentials at all.

Maybe, but all these teams don't get better playing the top nation, all they learn is to defend deep and sit in there box. Its like putting a League One team in the PL and expecting them to improve!

Montenegro are quite a new nation to international football and have grown into being respectable opponents. Kazakhstan are another nation that have been represented in the champions league and theyre capable of nicking points off other teams. Kosovo have had two narrow defeats this campaign? one was Finland, not sure who they played saturday but thats pretty respectable, and of course the Faroes beat Greece twice. Some of the smaller nations are quite a bit better than genuine whipping boy status like San Marino
