Ash Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I think the FA are only sticking with Hodgson because the other options are so limited. He had a decent Euro 2012, he'll do for the 2016 tournament. That'll be their mindset. He was responsible for our worst performance at a World Cup since 1958. There's no reason whatsoever for him to be kept in a job. To be fair, we could have Guardiola or Mourinho and still underwhelm. No we wouldn't.

Village Idiot Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I think the FA see Roy as a transitional manager to pilot the team while a younger generation of players takes over. It's better to let him take the heat in the interim and then get a new manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 “The beauty is that it depends on the opposition, you can pencil him (Jack Colback) in to do a number of roles. “If you are the dominant force then he might take a more defensive position because his passing range is fantastic, a bit like Yohan Cabaye’s. “He can also carry a threat when teams are more assertive – for us we can offer him a more forward role where he can use his energy. “He has got just a great all round ability – I am not sure where England will have plans for him but what I do know, is number four or number either, he can do either of those quite comfortably.” “He is our player but of course six months ago he was at Sunderland so they have to take some credit as well…” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cafella Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Remember loads saying he wasn't Cabaye's replacement tbh I also remember this. I honestly knew it from day one. It was obvious. Massive downgrade despite colback being better than I initially gave him credit for I'm not convinced at all. He passes the ball sideways and makes the odd tackle. Nothing to wank over.

Kimbo Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Remember loads saying he wasn't Cabaye's replacement tbh It never made sense to me, people saying he was Gosling's replacement, when Gosling only got games because Cabaye had left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Colback's all-round qualities are a real asset, because whatever situation he finds himself in, he can make a reasonably good fist of it. He's not a specialist creative player who can't tackle, or a defensive player who can't pass. It's also easier to get the right blend in midfield, with players like Colback. We have three great young midfielders in Wilshere, the Ox and Barkley. We need someone behind them to hold things together. Henderson is the front runner, but he hasn't made an overwhelming case, so even though I wasn't expecting a call-up for Colback at this point, I can see why Hodgson at least wants to take a look at him.
