Because he obviously doesn't see England as setting up with 2 strikers at the Euros, and it makes fuck all sense to play Kane as anything other than the number 9.

 

I think Hodgson is naturally too cautious, but he's decent tactically and tries different things to get the most out of the players we have.

Don't think much of Hodgson tbh.

 

Out of interest why is he not pairing Kane and Vardy and testing that out? Sure Kane has shown he can play off the front man too in more of a centre forward/second striker role if he wants to keep more of a 4-2-3-1 shape. Both KAne and Vardy do a great job pressing and so defensively it should still be effective.

 

Seems to just be going for a really negative and defensive approach. Typical.

 

Basically no point considering Rooney will stroll back into the side on the basis of nowt.

 

Hodgson is going to turn the tourney into a farce by making the wrong call on Rooney. No way that guy should start games from the outset. Kane and Vardy have been exceptional.

 

Hodgson should use these friendlies to explore possibilities of pairing both Vardy and Kane to see how he can possibly make that work.

 

So disappointing.

This. Not preparing for EC by playing Vardy and Kane up front for England is symptomatic of everything that is wrong with English football. Rooney should go to the Euros but should only be on the bench. You have two shit hot players in Vardy and Kane who should be given the chance to form an understanding together from now. Those two could score enough goals to win the tournament tbh the form they're in.

Very disappointing indeed - they had an interview with Woy the other week on Talksport and he basically said no international manager picks players based on current form, it's all down to which players that manager feels comfortable with and has faith in. Personally I think it's a load of bollocks and it made the point when (as much as I hate Adrian Durham) they then asked the question if it was a coincidence that the only times England has done well was when the form players have been taken and played due to injuries on the usual players. Takes the piss really.

Both Creative, Vardy has speed, Kane has superb technique, both smart & hard working & both superb at finishing. Give them a chance man, would be shocking to not play them together. When was the last time the two top scorers in the top division in England were English? You're going back to Shearer's partnerships with Owen/Sheringham for the last time we had two real goalscoring forwards & Sheringham is closer to these two in creativity.

 

He's said Wilshere is ahead of Drinkwater & Dier aswell. How can you decide that without giving them faith? Winning the prem isnt enough?

Wellbeck is a very good player, a big threat and someone I'd have hear in a heart beat. England are blessed with decent talent if nothing world-class (yet?), but as ever the manager will make a pigs ear of things. Vardy and Kane should be playing up front at the Euros without a doubt.

You can't pick solely on form though. Of course form has to come into it, but you need to pick players that compliment each other and compliment the system and tactic that you want to build around.

 

If Woy doesn't want to play 2 up top in the Euro's, there's no point playing 2 up front in these friendlies.
