TRon Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Kane was so bad Kane's quality, he's just not a winger, neither is Vardy. Both are class forwards, but they aren't being played as such. Woy is doing a McClaren and trying to fit square pegs into round holes. Eh, Kane played centrally for 90 minutes It's not so much about what position Kane played or what Vardy might have done instead. Vardy is able to use his pace to his maximum in the premier because of the way Leicester are set up to counter attack from deep. I just think Hodgson is picking names rather than a clear system to make the best use of his squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevo Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 What has Sterling ever done in his career other than a handful of 'excellent performances'? He's bang average. Plays well one in every 5/6 games like most other footballers who are nowhere near internationals. Overrated as fuck purely because he played for a crap Liverpool side with nobody else at the time.

TRon Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 I know I/we are biased but he made a real mistake not taking Townsend. There are only two attacking players in the entire squad with any pace at all, and only one who can play wide (who is in poor form). I said the same when Townsend was left out. Sterling had the Russians shit scared of his pace in the first half but he didn't make it count. He's been crap for Man City all season. Not a big game player IMO.

Dave Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 We changed a tiring Wayne Rooney with 15 minutes to go with Jack Wilshere, that's not a tremendous differently change because both help us play. The other one was Raheem Sterling, who had made a couple of long runs, with James Milner, with the thought to shore things up against us a bit and help with set-pieces. That didn't work out. At least he's admitted so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't me being a dick, but would people have said this (not you) before he signed for us? I read some horrific posts about him when be first joined. I massively underrated him before he signed for us, happy to admit that. When Hodgson looked at his squad of 26 though (24 with injuries) dropping Townsend made no sense from a tactical POV. We've ended up with a needlessly unbalanced squad, it's a lot similar to the problem Newcastle had last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't me being a dick, but would people have said this (not you) before he signed for us? I read some horrific posts about him when be first joined. I supported his signing at the time because of his performances for England. After his signing here if anything I thought we'd signed a headless chicken, so I was really surprised to see that he actually lived up to the Youtube videos. He's been much better than I expected especially in pressure situations, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't me being a dick, but would people have said this (not you) before he signed for us? I read some horrific posts about him when be first joined. He wasn't in form before he signed for us though, he hadn't played for over six months. I wasn't particularly a fan of signing Townsend, and he looked bang average at first, but he was really excellent for the last few games, and improving every game to the point where he was absolutely fantastic against Spurs (i.e. most of the England team). It's a cliche but England managers rarely take form into account when it's exactly what you need going into a tournament. It's six or seven games absolute max and you need the players who are most impressive at the time. It's like the play-offs - never just back the team who finished highest, back the team that's in form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jollof rice and pea Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Rashford was Roys attempt at showing himself to be a risk taker (by bowing to media pressure), he probably wont even get on the pitch and the squad is unbalanced as a result.
