I do think Roy Hodgson and Gareth Southgate should have utilsed Vardys skillset better and found a way to involve him more. But that's hardly Harry Kanes fault all he's done is been a consistent, prolific goalscorer for club and Country. If your angry at anyone it should be the men making the decisions. Anyone arguing that vardy is/was a better bet for England than Kane is loopy loo we don’t play that way but, given that Kane was exhausted by the time the semis came around and given that we were going to be playing a side which would look after the ball way better than us, there is an argument that the manager should have employed plan B from the start (or at least half time). Mind you, would have to be brave to change from tried and tested at SF stage ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Vardy get injured in the last 16 and missed the quarters and was generally struggling in the semi final when he came on? Can't see how starting him in that game would have helped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 5waller5 Posted 20 March 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 20 March 2021 Could there possibly be a format to the pre-match threads that includes the key information?? The title of this thread would be a great template. The content to usefully then include: Kick off time / date TV coverage details I’d certainly find this a useful improvement. Anyone else?? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxesWalk Posted 20 March 2021 Share Posted 20 March 2021 I have a good feeling about this one for some reason, think we will see Vardy on the scoresheet again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Falling Foxes Posted 20 March 2021 Share Posted 20 March 2021 Dunno if this point has been raised but the draw for the semis is at HALF time in our match. Not sure about this. If we are a couple of goals down at half time, I can imagine it would be hard to galvanise everyone if we have drew Man C in the semis. I know there are some assumptions in all of that, but my point is why not wait until fulltime? TV scheduling reasons I guess. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMike Posted 20 March 2021 Share Posted 20 March 2021 I wondered why we always pay too much respect to ManUre - then I saw our recent record against them (1 win in 24 games?). We are the better team, with the better players - lets thump them this time (like the ONE win - which we all remember!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No excuse to not run them ragged given theyve just played on thursday night. Totally agree. Too often we play Man U with the kind of respect you'd give Real Madrid. In reality, teams like Sheffield United have managed to beat them this season If we go at them, we can exploit their defensive weaknesses. If we sit back they'll inevitably just fall over in the box and Bruno will put one past Schmeichel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
