Interesting one Drinkwater.

 

Remember Pearson describing him as a ‘complex character’ and I’ve always suspected that he snubbed England in response to not getting in the Euro2016 squad rather than vice versa. It was almost like he’d decided that if they didn’t want him then, they didn’t deserve him now and pulled out with injury having completed 90 minutes perfectly fine for us.

 

Were it any other player I’d expect them

to be unhappy with their playing time and wanting to leave but with him I’m just not sure. Maybe when Pearson used the word ‘complex’ he meant it less in a demanding/intense way and more of a stubborn/difficult way.

I know Vardy stuck up for him with the England situation but he literally pulled out of 4/5 squads in a row after that Euro snub. Whilst never failing to start for us. Southgate clearly got the hint and then made it clear he wouldn't be picked again.
