Yep back 6 including the GK and wing backs speak for themselves then. Vardy could be seriously vital for us. As Fosse said above, he has a record of scoring about the better sides domestically but also internationally. We would need to play a certain way but we should anyway given the players we have at our disposal. Leicester have started playing in a similar way too so I agree Vardy to come off the bench but he could be the guy to nick a winning goal against the big boys
No mate I never go to games That last one we cancelled ended up costing me 2k btw. ****ing expensive day out I'd like to get to more games but tbh other things are more important as you get older. You'll understand one day little man
keep dreaming. TAA won't be a right back. Not good enough defensively. Think Gomez should stay as a RB. Don't think he can read the flight of a ball as a CB. He can get away with it as a RB
Drinky should have stayed at leicester. As for Ox's development. He's barely getting into the liverpool side which prefer a midfield of Can Henderson and Winja/Milner mate. Apart from a few flashes here and there Ox has been pretty poor.
If Henderson is in the starting 11 then England are in big trouble, when I watch Henderson play, he reminds me of a centre half playing in midfield, he just looks akward and uncomfortable on the ball. When you play these international tournaments, you need midfield players who can keep the ball and dominate the opposition with possession, as the games come so thick and fast, so you aren't gonna go far in it if your chasing after the ball every game. You even admit he's not that great technically, yet ability on the ball is the most important attribute for a modern day midfielder to have. Eric Dier is miles better, and even Wilshire, Loftus Cheek and Shelvey are alot better than Henderson. I'd agree Smalling is not good enough, but Jones is definately worth his place, considering the options England have. Jones form has only dipped recently because he's had Smalling alongside him. Put him with a decent partner like earlier in the season and he's a solid defender.
He might well be a better finisher than those 3, but I'm not saying to play any of them as strikers. Vardy is not an attacking midfielder or a winger, he's a striker. If this was the 80s or the 90s and everyone was playing 442 then I'd completely agree with you, but 442 especially with the midfield England have does not cut it in modern day football. Vardys record against the big sides is impressive, but that has a lot to do with the counter attacking play style Leicester use against those sides. Vardy because he is so fast is a specialist on the counter attack. But he does often struggle to score against sides who don't give him space in behind to run into. Looking at our group, the only side that we will probably set up to counter attack against will be Belgium, and perhaps you could play Vardy up top with Kane playing as a 2nd striker/Attacking midfielder. But I wouldn't be playing Vardy against either Panama or Tunisia, as I think the all round qualities of Kane up top gives you a lot more options than Vardy does.
