We aren't at all – however when he has received the ball or a promising situation has opened up, his decision making tonight has been questionable. Hit the byline and run at them, Jamie.

orangecity23 Posted 14 November 2017 Share Posted 14 November 2017 Vardy really wasn't helped by Rashford tonight, every time Vardy had the ball Rashford made the wrong run, or no run at all. Rashford's decision making was pretty bad all game IMO. A shame, as he is an exciting player to watch, still lots to learn though. Livermore is basically a prize draw winner, no business being anywhere near an England squad, only present due to so few available English CMs, plus a bit of the reisdual Spurs shine that the FA still love left on him. Dier has been pretty bad too, if Drinkwater gets back to near his best he should (but won't) be well ahead of those two, the only deep lying English central midfielder who actually takes any responsibility for dictating play, too many of the others are simple sideways ball shufflers who abdicate creative responsibility and slow down any attack they are involved in. Actually think Maguire is more creative than the 2 defensive midfielders, and he is a centre back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orangecity23 Posted 14 November 2017 Share Posted 14 November 2017 Who'd have thought that Jese Lingard would go from being nowhere near good enough for a Leicester team in the Championship, to being nowhere near good enough for an England team against Brazil (EDIT: whilst remaining nowhere near good enough for Leicester). Fair play to the lad, really advanced his ability to stink out the place to a whole new level of football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

England to there credit defended pretty well, good run out for the youngsters that featured. I'm sad to say Vardy didn't have a good night.

foxes_rule1978 Posted 14 November 2017 Share Posted 14 November 2017 Played well, very inexperienced but might have nicked it... Gomez was superb, Maguire as well.

Webbo Posted 14 November 2017 Author Share Posted 14 November 2017 Quite promising, we have 3 young centre halfs who are all comfortable on the ball. Defensively sound, decent strikers just lacking a bit in midfield.I thought Gomez was excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ealingfox Posted 14 November 2017 Share Posted 14 November 2017 Bloody hell Vardy doesn't help himself does he? Two games as a centre forward like we've been screaming for for years and he does fvck all in either of them. Crap performance tonight to boot. He'll have to hit 15+ in the league at least to make the squad I reckon. All these young players getting a look in now and only 3 or 4 striking spots with 2 of them carved in stone (Kane & Rashford). Seems a bit harsh but I'll not be surprised if he doesn't make it and I don't think he can have too many complaints as things stand either.

Suzie the Fox Posted 14 November 2017 Share Posted 14 November 2017 And on a less boring note the Ireland v Denmark game was entertaining. Happy for Denmark to qualify, bit sad for Ireland though.

Tielemans63 Posted 14 November 2017 Share Posted 14 November 2017 I once played for my school team in a regional tournament and we got all the way to the semis without scoring a goal in normal time. I feel like this could be the way forward for Gareth Southgate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col city fan Posted 14 November 2017 Share Posted 14 November 2017 On the plus side, defensively we look an awful lot better. Not conceding tonight against that Brazil side is a feat in itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan LCFC Posted 14 November 2017 Share Posted 14 November 2017 Thought our defending in that game was excellent, the best I've seen in a very long time, we limited them to very little. I was however a bit disappointed with the attacking. Vardy and Rashford both struggled but they had absolutely nothing on, they're too similar and were being asked to do all of the attacking. Absolutely no way should Lingard or Livermore be anywhere near the side. I think you have an Alli or Sterling in midfield there and you've got a potential win.

BoyJones Posted 14 November 2017 Share Posted 14 November 2017 Only saw last 15 as watched ROI. Looks like Maguire played well, wonder if Neymar asked him to swap shirts. Could have nicked both games in 90th minute, so Southgate will feel he s on the right track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he'll make the squad because he's better than most other options, Southgate knows him and he's massively different to any other striker England have.
