As long as they don't get injured or play tuesday then I'm fine with this, drinkwater and Vardy on the other hand...
Hopefully it means Vardy and Drinkwater are more likely to play Tuesday and that might have bearing on the weekend
More nonsense from Hodgson: "He [Dier] did it against France, that's for sure, and does it for Tottenham. "I've been very impressed so have called him up with [Danny] Drinkwater, who does a similar job for Leicester City. "They're still in the shadow of Jack Wilshere, who did so well for us before his injury. "If all three were available for the Euros, that'd be a nice headache because there might not be space for all three." Players doing well, one of which has actually done it for the national side, overshadowed by a crock that doesn't play? He literally hasn't made an appearance this season. How can he be ahead in the pecking order? He's five years older than Dele Alli and they've played a similar number of league games (114 to 103). Wilshere should be forgotten about as an international for a while. Let him recover from his injury problems, regain his form and prove his fitness. Talking down available players in favour of those that aren't is simply stupid.
In all fairness Wilshere has always impressed in that role for England. Roy has a track record, justified or not, of taking players like Wilshere, Townsend, Rooney, into his squads even if their form at club level has dropped, or they get injured. Its crazy to be considering Wilshere given how long he hasn't played for, but it's not surprising. Roy always picks on England form, not club form. This suits one or two as there are a few players who genuinely seem to play better for the national side than for their clubs, but it can be madness at times too, especially in these circumstances.
Dele Alli warmed up for the game against Liverpool by doing what he always does: Emre Can was his latest victim.
I wonder if the victims should form a support group. Being humiliated in the workplace is never acceptable. Well almost never.
