England


Nobody

Recommended Posts

Vassell missed in the penalty shoot-out in the quarter-finals of Euro 2004 against hosts Portugal. Coming on for the injured Wayne Rooney early on in the game, he missed England's last spot-kick in the penalty shoot-out, allowing Portugal goalkeeper Ricardo to knock England out of the tournament by scoring the final penalty. Vassell did not play for England again.

Tbh he was a canny player for England, seen far worse.  Scored a fantastic overhead kick in a friendly in Holland.

 

Disagree, anyone?

Apparently Vardy's no longer starting.

In a way, I kind of agree with this, him stretching the game against tired legs could work, i'd just rather we played 2 up top and drop Shrek.

Watched the Germany game again other night. Alli switched to the left when Vardy & Barkley came on, then he & Barkley were swapping between #10 & that side. Henderson was right, but he also swapped with Alli a few times. Basically Alli was roaming everywhere & it worked really well. Only thing was we were caught that side a few times, but Dier just went over to cover & Alli went into his position.

 

That was by far the best we've played in the lead up games, yet we stick in Rooney/Sterling in the follow up games & stick with that?

I've expected it all week like but not finding a place for Vardy is criminal. Him, Kane and Alli are on fire and should be the first 3 names on the teamsheet.

You have to pick it as a team though and if two up front isn't working it's better not to shoehorn Vardy in on the wing
